Go-Karts Plus is a family-owned fun center at 6910 Richmond Road in Williamsburg, Virginia, next to the Williamsburg Pottery. As the name says, it centers on go-kart racing, and it also has a small roller coaster, other rides, miniature golf and an arcade.
History
The park opened in 1989 on the former site of the Great American Waterslide. The original park covered four acres and had two go-kart tracks, bumper boats, a kiddieland, a small arcade and a miniature golf course that had been built along with the water slide.
The park has since grown to eight acres on two levels. It now has four go-kart tracks, bumper cars, blaster boats, a Disk'O thrill ride, a larger arcade, the western-themed Gold Rush Mini Golf course, and Toddler Town, a free play area for small children.
Its roller coaster, Python Pit, is a steel family coaster with a single helix layout, built by E&F Miler Industries. RCDB records that it ran at Jeepers family entertainment centers before it was moved to Go-Karts Plus.
