Richard Petty Ride-Along for an adult?

[sdomino11]

I want to surprise my DH with this as a gift when we return to WDW for our 10th anniversary. But all I can do within the budget is the ride-along. Is this a waste of $100 for an adult? Obviously, I know that driving on your own would be better. But is this worth it or... maybe I should look into parasailing instead...?

I did the ride along in Dec. I thought it was great. I had no desire to drive just wanted to see what 140 mph felt like in the car. I thing the speedway is closing down like in June. Also have did the parasailing on different trip. It was great too. Either experience I'm sure your DH will like!

I thought that attraction is closing permanently, but I'm not sure when.

It is. I'm thinking June, but I'm not sure.

Yes, I did hear that it's closing. But not before our May trip.

Acording to this article, it says that is will close in late June - so if you are goign after June, i would find somethign else that he might enjoy

Always wanted to but never did. I would have done the ride-along. Seems that would have been faster than me driving. Just my opinion

I did the ride along several years ago when they were giving passholders a free ride along during February that year.It was cool but I don't think I would have paid that much to do it on my own.I'm still glad I did it.
