Beyond the track, interactive zones invited visitors to build their own dream cars, test gravity-defying stunts on mini ramps, and challenge friends in thrilling arcade-style games.
Live entertainment kept the energy high with spectacular stunt shows scheduled throughout the night. Professional drivers launched Hot Wheels-inspired vehicles into daring flips and high-speed drifts, drawing cheers and gasps from the crowd at 6pm, 7.30pm, 9pm, and later slots.
Speaking to The Peninsula during a break in the show, Grace Alvarez, who attended the event with her family, remarked, “The show was exhilarating from start to finish, and my children were extremely enthusiastic to be present. My oldest son is passionate about car racing and stunts, and it was a thrilling experience for him to witness in person what he usually sees on television. It was truly a remarkable show.”
Organisers say the event is designed not only to entertain but also to inspire curiosity and innovation among young audiences. By merging play with elements of science, technology and design, the activation encourages children to explore concepts such as speed, motion and mechanics in an accessible way.
