In the inner area at the bottom of the track you will find the activities, kiosk, big screen and entertainment. There are toilets at the entrance. The VIP tent is located at curve 13 and has its own toilets. You are welcome to take the trip all the way to the top via the public path, which is marked with a yellow line on the map.
