At Hangtime Mx there is the original track behind the lower pit area. If you are caught on this track at any time your entire party may be ejected from the park with no refund. Parents Pay Attention - This means if your daughter/Son is caught on the trails or on the back track at Hangtime, you can loose all of the money you have paid and be asked to leave because you didn't supervise your child!
