Tank ride

Experience the Ride in a Modified Infantry Fighting Vehicle (BVP-1) This vehicle is a specially modified BVP-1 infantry fighting vehicle, repurposed for passenger rides. The vehicle has undergone several adjustments: A large fuel tank is installed, with fuel stored in the rear doors. The batteries have been relocated to the front, where the commander’s seat used to be. The engine air intake has been modified, creating a passenger space measuring 2.7 × 3.2 meters. Above this cabin, five steel tubes are welded in place to serve as grab bars, forming a continuous handhold around the area. For added safety, a flat rubber bumper strip is installed to protect passengers from hitting sharp metal edges. The floor is covered with wooden grating, and the steel tubing divides the interior into five sections: Passenger Sections: Section 1 – Fitted with a wooden bench for children under 1 meter in height to stand on. Section 2 – For older children and pregnant women up to the 8th month. Section 3 – For adult women. Section 4 and Section 5 – For men and women who want to dance during the ride – disco style. Passenger Instructions and Safety Before the ride, all passengers receive a safety briefing. Key points include: Hold the grab bar shoulder-width apart Stand with feet slightly apart and knees flexed Avoid gripping rigidly – move with the terrain, using your knees to absorb shocks The ride includes steep climbs, descents, and tilts, and it’s common to get splashed with mud along the way. The vehicle was manufactured in Slovakia (Detva) under license. Notably, it is not equipped with shock absorbers – making the ride even more authentic and rugged.
