Do I need an armband if all I am doing is driving my child on the go-karts? If a child is not tall enough to drive themselves on a ride/go-kart, then someone over 18 may drive them IF the driver has either an Armband (54+) OR a Chauffeur Armband which is only permits you to drive a child and only drive a child on rides they could not do without an adult. The cost of a Chauffeur Armband is only $9.95. Is the arcade included in the armband? Because you can win prizes the more you play certain arcade games, we do not have any unlimited arcade. With our arcade you pay per game with a Fun-E-Card you purchase. Game prices vary from $.25 to $2.00. Is the SkyCoaster ride included in the armband? The SkyCoaster is a unique, one of a kind ride.
