Did you actually do a sleigh on ice or the cart with wheels on a dry track? Did the cart at Lillehammer - good stuff!

Wheel sled, as it was Summer. Good way to shake your organs about to see if they're all attached.

And to the poster above, I don't go to theme parks so I can't make a useful comparison.

He pretty well had me beat, I got in a few back foot cross bat shots, hooks, pulls & cuts, but he was too quick for me when I tried coming forward.
