    Thunder Park for sale

    i talked to the real estate agent who has listed thunderpark in glen murray again, they thought someone in motorcycling may be interested in it, it would be cool to see it kept open,

    I was speaking to James about this on Sunday!
    Unfortunately him and the wife have gone separate ways. And the farm is for defiantly for sale. He did have someone interested that has other tourist/adventure related enterprises and it is a small possibility it may remain open, but who knows.
    He did say there where 76 riders there the day before, similar there on Sunday. Not sure how this, combined with farming makes financial sense, but 140 approx riders in one weekend certainly shows the need for a facility like this. Its just a farm with some of the blimming gates left open!!
    Bikes are hard on the farm though, the bike ruts and nasty corrugations are still there from last year although hes has done a fair bit of laying metal in the access roads! Still the best place around here to teach people to ride though. Same time and petrol to get there from East Auck as to the sandpit and girls ride free so thats 20 bucks or so towards the gas bill.
    Be really sad to see it go!!!!!!

    its on the expensive side, it depends on your bike size

    it would be a shame if thunder park did close, to be honest i cant see it staying open if it sells.

    Thanks mate not so bad for me now as my son is working and I don't have to shoulder the whole cost for the family. Still $90 bucks for us all though? Thunder costs us $40. But might be worth a trip once in a blue moon for a change!

    saw the sign by the gate and was wondering will be a pity if it does close hopfully someone who likes bikes buys it and keeps it open maybe they will even run a bully over the tracks and put up some arrows

    its amazing how cheap it is cost us 120bucks for my entry 3 sets of gear and a drz125 for the day plus grace was free !

    might buy a lotto ticket this weekend

    i would hate it see it close i was thear last weekend and had a ball.
    track defently needs better signs and better buypass's for the mud bogs

    other than that its a great place with big open areas which are hard to find these days

    and some nice up hill's

    i would happely pay $35 to ride thear
