It is the turn of the millennium and the USSR is still around. The space race has taken an exciting new turn. To commemorate the early days of the space race, NATO and the USSR are having a race around the far side of the moon and back to Earth to see which side will have control of the moon for the whole of the next century. The race starts at an artificialized landscape in the Gulf of Mexico. The stakes are high. You are on the side of NATO and it is up to you to see how you can adjust the speed of our respective rocket train in order to complete the race without being too slow or going too fast and blowing up the train. Complete this objective for the good of everyone on Earth. We can't expect and don't want the Soviet train to crash. We're counting on you.

The guests will be watching on two stands, one for NATO and one for the Soviets. Potential riders should choose their respective cultural side and be aware of the serious potential risks.

To play: Adjust the increments of the lift hill speed. If you aim too high, the train will crash. Aim too low and the ride will stall or complete the circuit too slowly. The last time you complete the ride will be the last counted race and if you fail, then the Soviets will control the solar system.
