Abstract: The invention discloses an amusement park comprising an elevated wooden racetrack built in combination with another park activity. The combination comprises a wooden racetrack surface extending along at least one portion elevated above ground level, and a support frame comprising a plurality of vertical supports connected to support the elevated portion above ground level, and another park facility constructed at least partially below the elevated portion of the racetrack to thereby conserve space in the amusement park. The combination includes a go-kart as the motorized amusement vehicle. The park facility constructed below the racetrack is selected from an amusement ride, a building, and a parking lot, the amusement ride being particularly a boat ride having bumper boats. An amusement ride includes a second racetrack operated at least partially below an elevated portion of the first racetrack, and sharing a pit area therewith.

Abstract: An apparatus and methods for a racetrack for operating go-karts and similar motorized amusement vehicles thereon. The racetrack includes a wooden racetrack portion supported on a frame having a plurality of vertical support posts connected to a plurality of support members positioned underlying a wooden racetrack surface, thereby providing elevation above ground and structural support. The wooden racetrack surface includes a first and second outer periphery, and extends along a plurality of tiers elevated above ground level, forming a multi-level racetrack surface. In addition, the wooden racetrack surface includes a plurality of banked curves built from wooden slats positioned vertically on edge, each wooden slat abuttingly adjoining at least one other wooden slat of the plurality, bent into shape and positioned at a predetermined angle of inclination from an inside curve periphery to an outside curve periphery, thereby forming an especially smooth banked curve.
