Where to find us

Mega Drive Experience × AMA has an information stand in Liwa Village at the festival. Ask the team there about the ride, the safety rules and the next free departure.

Payment

Payment for the festival rides is taken officially by the festival organisation. Mega Drive does not collect money at the stand.

Quad or buggy?

A quad is ridden alone and feels closer to the sand. A buggy seats two, so a couple or a parent and child can share one vehicle. If you prefer to share the ride, choose a buggy; if you want to drive yourself, choose a quad.
