NEW SUPERCHARGED ENTERTAINMENT.
START YOUR ENGINES.
>> YEAH BABY.
SHAYNA: SUPERCHARGED ENTERTAINMENT INVITES YOU TO TAKE A SPIN.
LOCATED IN WRENTHAM, THIS 100 25,000 SQUARE FOOT ENTERTAINMENT EXPERIENCE HAS PEOPLE SAYING YEAH.
>> THERE IS A LOT TO DO IN ONE SPOT.
SHAYNA: FOR STARTERS, WHO WOULDN’T WANT TO ZOOM AROUND THE WORLD’S LARGEST INDOOR MULTILEVEL CARTING TRACK?
>> THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU ARE CLOSING -- CLOSE TO PASSING SOMEONE IS EXHILARATING.
SHAYNA: IT IS NOT JUST WHAT YOU SEE THAT IS UNIQUE BUT WHAT YOU SMELL.
NOTHING.
NO GAS OR EXHAUST FUMES.
THESE 18 HORSEPOWER ELECTRIC CARTS WITH SPEEDS UP TO 40 MILES PER HOUR PRODUCE ZERO EMISSIONS.
>> IT IS HEATED IN THE WINTER, AIR-CONDITIONED IN THE SUMMER.
MOST TRACKS VENTILATE OUT THE GAS FUMES AND AREN’T ABLE TO CLIMATE CONTROL.
SHAYNA: NO BUMPING ALLOWED AND YOU HAVE TO BE FOUR FOOT 10 TO TAKE A SPIN.
>> NUMBER ONE RULE, STACY IS FIRST.
REALLY, HAVE FUN.
SHAYNA: JOINING ME AT SUPERCHARGED, MY KIDS, TOO SMALL FOR THE GO KARTS READY TO RUMBLE IN THE NINJA WIPEOUT.
NO SLOWING DOWN HERE. IT IS OFF TO THE SWINGING STEPS, THEN WIPEOUT BALLS, WHICH MY KIDS SEEM TO HAVE DOWN.
>> GO TO FAST SPEED.
SHAYNA: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
>> BOUNCE ON EACH ONE.
DON’T JUST BOUNCE AND WAIT.
SHAYNA: THIS EXPERIENCE CAN BE HUMBLING.
AND CAN HAVE YOU QUESTIONING YOUR ATHLETICISM.
I QUIT.
THE TRAMPOLINE ZONE IS MORE MY SPEED.
LOTS AND LOTS OF FUN.
I DON’T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING TO MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE A KID AGAIN LIKE THIS.
ALSO, A RESTAURANT.
THIS IS DESIGNED FOR ALL AGES.
>> KIDS ARE PUTTING THEIR PHONES DOWN AND ENGAGING WITH EACH OTHER.
IT IS NICE TO SEE.
SHAYNA: A FAMILY DESTINATION FOR SURE.
DID YOU HAVE FUN?
>> YES.
TWO THUMBS UP.
SHAYNA: BRING IT IN, BRING IT IN.
MWAH.
♪ SHAYNA: POLO, ANYONE?
>> IS THAT A YET A ORNATE?
-- YAY OR NAY?
>> IN EASTERN MASS, WE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO REALLY DO POLO.
SHAYNA: THE HEAD TRAINER FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SPORT WHEN HE WAS 17.
NOW, HE HOPES TO CONVERT MORE NEW ENGLANDERS TO THE GAME.
IS IT HARD?
>> IT IS LIKE WRITING A BIKE.
IF YOU HAVE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE IT IS DIFFICULT THAT YOU GET COMFORTABLE QUICKLY.
POLO IS SIMILAR TO ICE HOCKEY.
IT IS A TEAM SPORT ON HORSES.
SHAYNA: ALL LEVELS ARE WELCOME.
>> MOST PEOPLE WHO COME HERE HAVE MAYBE RIDDEN A HORSE ONCE OR TWICE.
SHAYNA: HORSES AND EQUIPMENT PROVIDED.
>> YOU LOOK LIKE A POLO PLAYER.
YOU’VE GOT IT.
SHAYNA: THIS NOVICE RIDER IS READY TO SETTLE UP.
-- SADDLE UP.
>> YOU’VE GOT IT.
SHAYNA: THE SIX-WEEK SESSION COSTS $900 AND INCLUDES PREPPING AND OUTFITTING OF YOUR PONY AND OF COURSE, THE RULES OF PLAY.
>> POLO IS PLAYED ON A FIELD LIKE THIS, OR YOU CAN PLAY IN AN ENCLOSED RIDING ARENA.
THE PLAYERS WORK TOGETHER TO TRY TO PASS THE BALL TO EACH OTHER TO GET IT INTO A GOAL.
SHAYNA: NOR -- NO HORSING AROUND.
GETTING DOWN THE BASICS CAN BE TRICKY.
SOMETIMES YOU MISS.
>> WHEN YOU ARE LEARNING, IT IS NOT TOO PHYSICALLY DEMANDING BUT IT IS A GOOD WORKOUT WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING COMPETITIVELY AT A HIGH LEVEL.
YOU ARE TRYING TO MOVE AROUND A 1000 POUND ANIMAL.
SHAYNA: MARK SAYS THE GAME IS SAFE AND THAT IS A PRIORITY FOR RIDERS AND HORSES.
>> THE HORSES TRY TO TAKE CARE OF THE RIDERS.
IN THE EVENT SOMEONE FALLS OFF, THE HORSE WILL MOVE TO POSITION THEMSELVES SO THE WRITER DOESN’T FALL OFF.
SHAYNA: A NEW SWIPE AT SUMMERTIME FUN.
