Review: For those who don’t know the ‘Blue Flame’ is a rocket-powered land speed racing vehicle that was driven by Gary Gabelich and achieved the world land speed record on Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah on October 23, 1970. The vehicle set the FIA world record for the flying mile at 622.407 mph (1,001.667 km/h) and the flying kilometre at 630.388 mph (1,014.511 km/h). This interactive experience aims to tell you all about the engineering miracle they managed to pull off as well as some story background about the reasons why people do this and some background on the driver of the car Gary Gabelich. Unless you have an interest in this sort of thing you won’t find much to do here, but for those of us who do enjoy it, this is a great little experience filled with details and dialogue to read.
