A combination of tank, skateboard and motocross bike, the DTV (Dual Tracked Vehicle) Shredder is the first year-round, all-terrain vehicle. It has two aggressive tank treads, a skateboard deck and a powerful 4-stroke 196cc engine. All this makes it capable of travelling at high speed through sand, snow, trails and even mountainsides.

Riding the DTV Shredder is very similar to riding a jet ski and surprisingly intuitive. This is a full-on experience and you could well be exhausted by the end as you need to use a lot of energy to control the vehicle. You stand up, and rock left and right to control it, using your whole body to balance and steer.

You'll be kitted out in full body protection and given full instructions before you start. Your helmet mounted communications will also give you live instruction as you get to grips with your Shredder. As your confidence increases, you'll be given more challenging obstacles and terrain to try.

This experience gets consistently excellent reviews, as shown by the fact that it is a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Award winner. So you can relax, knowing you're in safe hands. Your shredding experience takes place in Frodsham which is 11 miles outside of Chester.

This experience is all about going fast and honing your hovering skills. From your initial instruction briefing, the helpful and enthusiastic staff are on hand to help you master this tricky driving experience. Your safety helmet has built in communications so the instructors can give you live, one to one, help whilst you're flying around the track. Learn how to start and stop, navigate and then race around ponds at full power. Attempt a water start and learn the hover stop - the equivalent of a helicopter flare landing, or a handbrake turn without a handbrake! Then give it everything you've got on the final time trial lap. Who will make it onto the all-time leader board?

This is a super fun activity which everyone can enjoy, and is definitely something you'll be talking about for the rest of the weekend. A unique and exhilarating driving experience, this is a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Award winning attraction due to its consistently excellent reviews.
