The Experience
Take on a high-intensity military challenge with the Scorpion Tank Firing & Driving Experience.
This two-person mission puts one of you in the driver’s seat and the other in the gunner’s position, working together to navigate, aim and fire a real 76mm gun.
The driver must guide the Scorpion tank into position, steering over rugged terrain to help the gunner line up the perfect shot. The gunner then loads the 76mm gun, locks onto the target and fires three times to see how close they can get. Once the mission is complete, the driver must retreat before the “enemy” responds.
Want to experience both roles? If both participants are 18+ with a full UK licence, you can swap positions and take turns driving and firing. Each person will get three shots and 30 minutes of driving, making this a full-throttle tank experience.
Fire. Drive. Conquer. Are you ready?
