Fast Trax: Revolu­tion­izing Indoor Enter­tainment in the US with BMI Leisure

Fast Trax Enter­tainment, in Fort Myers, FL, opened its doors on September 5^th, 2025, setting a new benchmark for indoor enter­tainment in the U.S. The venue is home to Florida’s longest indoor go-kart track and the world’s first three-level track powered by a live kart positioning system.

The facility features a videogame arcade, eight lanes of duckpin bowling, an Italian-themed restaurant, and three unique go-kart tracks all designed to offer excitement for every age group. From families and casual visitors to more experi­enced racers, everyone can find their challenge. Just across the street, Headpinz also offers comple­mentary attrac­tions, together creating a ​“mega FEC” experience for guests in Southwest Florida.

”BMI Leisure has helped us bring together the most important parts of our business: smooth operations, memorable guest experiences, and a safety system that keeps everyone protected.It’s become an essential part of how we operate.”

A Venue Built for All Levels of Racing

Fast Trax has created a unique setup under one roof:

• Mini Track: A 200-foot circuit designed for kids ages 4 – 8.
• Blue Track: A 1,065-foot course for younger drivers and casual racers.
• Red Track: A 1,115-foot advanced track with sharp turns and a dramatic three-floor drop, built to thrill experi­enced drivers and profes­sionals.

 

For those seeking the ultimate challenge, the Blue and Red tracks can be combined into one massive ​“mega track” powered by a fleet of more than 40 electric karts.

 

Why They Chose BMI Leisure

With speed and thrill at the heart of the experience, safety is non-negotiable. Fast Trax relies on BMI Leisure’s advanced safety and positioning system, which monitors every kart in real time. The system can automat­i­cally slow down or stop vehicles in case of hazards, while staff also have manual controls for extra oversight. This technology not only keeps guests safe but also boosts trust and confi­dence in the experience.

On the other hand, a decisive factor in their choice was having an all-in-one software solution to handle complex, multi-activity opera­tions. 

“It pretty much was your all-in-one software to run almost our entire facility off of it. A lot of entertainment facilities are using five or six softwares to run their facility, especially with multiple attractions. BMI has been great in having everything just tied into one.”

Running a multi-level enter­tainment venue like Fast Trax is complex – from managing high-speed go-karts and keeping the track safe to ensuring guests have a seamless experience. With BMI Leisure, every­thing comes together in one platform.

Here’s what Fast Trax can do with our all-in-one solution:

• Full Pit Visibility – Keep every corner of your track in sight; eliminate blind spots and give your pit crew an extra pair of eyes.
• Virtual Loops – Total flexi­bility to design your track your way; let the software adapt to your needs.
• Real-Time Race Tracking – Deliver an immersive racing experience for your guests.
• Automatic Slowdowns & Pit Super­vision – Ensure pit safety at all times, not just when a vehicle passes a loop.
• Hazard Detection – Karts under certain speeds are flagged automat­i­cally and managed safely (yellow lights, slowed vehicles, etc.).
• Corner Speed Control & Hazard Prevention – Assist drivers by slowing them down if a poten­tially hazardous situation arises.
• Full Session Logging – Replay sessions for staff training or perfor­mance analysis.
• Register & Book Activ­ities – Guests can book karting, bowling, laser tag, arcade games, and even combo packages with upselling options.
• Waivers & Payments – Sign waivers and pay indepen­dently via cash, card, or gift card.
  
  This way, their guests can skip the line and go straight to the fun, reducing wait times and improving their experience in the venue. Besides, Jacob also highlights the ease of use for his team:

My favorite part about BMI is how user-friendly it is. I say it all the time – it’s very simple for us, especially now with 100+ staff members coming online, as we try to give them every tool to be successful. Teaching them during the mass trainings and seeing them all understand the tools has been pretty smooth.”

Fast Trax is proof that with the right mix of cutting-edge attrac­tions and BMI Leisure smart software, enter­tainment centers can push the limits of what guests expect. With us, now they can deliver unfor­get­table moments while keeping opera­tions efficient and safe.
