Most of us grew up watching The Flintstones on Saturday mornings and were delighted to discover an entire theme park dedicated to the prehistoric characters. Sadly, Bedrock City is closing for good at the end of this summer — but not before one last hurrah.
Since 1972, Fred Flintstone has welcomed thousands of tourists to his prehistoric town. Bedrock City was sold and shut down in January of this year, but popular demand led the owner to open the theme park for one last hurrah this summer.
Race around the track, using strategically-placed bones as your guiding posts. Drive right underneath a volcano and hope it won't erupt before you come out the other side.
