Motorists tanks at minnesota action park - Glass Tank E Cig - Healthy E Cig


 
Business,Business News,Business Opportunities
For anyone who ever has been stuck intraffic, it's a tempting fantasy: If only you were driving a tankand could roll over everything in your path. Some drivers are now flocking to an out-of-the-way spot in southernMinnesota to turn that vision into metal-crunching reality. A business named Drive-a-Tank offers drivers the chance to pilotsurplus military tanks and other armored vehicles around an oldlimestone quarry and smash junk cars like an action movie hero.

The ride is loud, grinding, hot and dirty — ideal forsatisfying one's inner Rambo. "It was awesome. I mean, controlling that machine, it'sincredible," said Jacob Ostling, 19, of New Canaan, Conn., amongthe customers who took a turn under the turret on a recent Saturdayand flattened a car in an explosion of glass. Owner Tony Borglum, a construction and heavy equipment contractor,opened the tank park three years ago after seeing similarattractions during a visit to England. He said he knew it would fitnicely into American culture — a more visceral version ofwhat millions of guys are doing in video games anyway.

He began buying up old Cold War-era surplus and now has 11 armoredvehicles available for use on a 20-acre site near this town 50miles southwest of Minneapolis. Customers spend hours churning upand down a hilly, wooded course, getting a firsthand sense of whatarmored warfare might be like. "It's not as glorious as it looks like on TV," said Borglum, ashort-haired 25-year-old who wore camouflage pants, a tan poloshirt and boots at the session. But it satisfies the curiosity of those who have watched tanks inwar movies. "It was very realistic," agreed Brad Walker, of Amboy, Ind., whobrought his 21-year-old son, Nick, for an outing before the youngman got married.

"It kind of gives you an idea exactly how hardthat job is." Nick Walker, who squeezed his 5-foot-11, 230-poundframe into the cramped compartment, added, "It's not a big person'sjob." Drivers sit in the small space in front between the tracks andnavigate by looking out the hatch. "It's very noisy. Lot ofvibration. Kind of warm but not uncomfortable. Took a littlegetting used to the maneuverability, but it's just ..

a blast,"said customer Marvin Bourne. A basic package that includes driving a tank and shooting a machinegun costs $399, with more expensive options for driving severalmodels and shooting other weapons such as assault rifles. Driverswho want to smash a car pay an additional $549; for about $3,500, acustomer can drive a tank through a trailer house. Learning to control the lumbering machine with its two steeringsticks takes only a few minutes. It was "easier than I expected,"and "an awesome Christmas present," said Bourne, 58, an insuranceman from Richmond, Va., who brought his wife, Karen, along aspassenger.

He was among several visitors who had a gotten a tankride as a gift for a special occasion. Borglum said his tank park wasn't the first in the United Statesbut he knows of no others still operating. Event coordinator KessaBaedke said more than 600 packages have been sold this year. One of the attractions on display is a British Chieftain Mark 11featured in the 2002 Matthew McConaughey dragon invasion movie"Reign of Fire." Another Chieftain nicknamed Larry, weighing 60tons and with a top speed of 30 mph, makes short work of anyobstacle in its path.

"To have that much weight on just two brake handles, it's awesome,"said Ostling after the tank rolled over a car and rained glassaround his head. The car "was like a tin can," he said. Online:.
