The Bumper Cars have arrived at the Alexandria Bay Ice Arena and abaynews.com was lucky enough to test them out. We had a blast doing it too. They're electric, they have controls similar to a tank, they spin around really fast... and hey, who doesn't like smashing bumper cars around.

According to Tracey McIntosh who runs the arena the bumper cars should be available to the public sometime around or just after Christmas. They are waiting for the State to do a inspection and then it's game on. I believe the pricing will be ($5.00 for 5 minutes) and there are special rates for birthday parties and other events. The rink staff told me that they already have a few birthday parties booked. I was also told that the Bumper Cars can work without ice so they will be a year round thing.

The arena website has up-to-date information on the bumper cars so keep checking their site to see when the cars will be up and running.

One last thing.. this is a positive thing for Alexandria Bay and it deserves to run a while before being criticized. That being said any negative comments on this will be removed.
