If there’s a choice between speed and soaring to new heights, I am always going to opt for speed. So, it was natural for me to volunteer to check out The Mainland Adventure Park and its Extreme Go Kart Track in Manahawkin. I was less certain about the aerial course, zip lines and climbing wall, but that’s what friends are for, right?

Safe Speed. I spent a chunk of the summer working with the U.S. Coast Guard and was constantly reminded that boaters should operate at safe speed.
