DALLAS — Looking for rides at the State Fair of Texas? There are two options: chill or thrill.
But the most thrilling ride isn’t found on the Midway.
Tucked inside gate five is the Ram TRX Thrill Ride experience. Fairgoers can sign up to take an adrenaline-pumping ride in a Ram TRX with a professional driver.
“It’s something that people have never felt in a street-driven vehicle,” said Justin Blower, one of the experience’s drivers.
Blower says the Ram TRX has 702 horsepower, making it the most powerful mass-produced truck in the world.
Fairgoers who sign a waiver can take a ride where they’ll experience speed, curves and two jumps. Even more impressive, the heart-pounding ride doesn’t cost a dime.
“Absolutely free,” Blower said. “Just sign up and hop in.”
Blower encourages people to hop in because he said it’s not an experience you can see and believe.
“You can watch and listen to it, but the seat of the pants feel in these trucks is something that needs to be experienced,” he said.
The Ram TRX Thrill Ride is available Thursday through the end of the fair on Sunday.
