  I play with the RC boats at dreamworld, and other theme parks, where theres a full steering wheel and stuff. You can have like 10 people driving boats at once. They also have trucks and you can pick up and drop off trailers etc.

  Many Many years ago someone set up a R/C boat thing at a shopping centre in my home town. It was permanent, largish 10m square pool, and about 10 coin-op control stations. I remember the controls being pretty vague and the boats slow and unimpressive.
  
  Ofcourse att he time that same shopping centre was the largest single level shopping centre int eh Southern hemisphere!
  
  For those history buffs, it’s in the same city as McDonalds open and operated Australias first 24 hour McDonalds.
  
  It’s also the Capital of the “Banana Republic” which was until the mid-late eighties fully recognised adn a Republic falling under the jurisdiction of the AU Government 😉
  
  *laugsh* Mine of worth trivia here 😉

  Pacific Fair used to have the radio control boats at the shopping center, though I’m not sure if surfers paridise was the first place with a 24 hour maccas. Canley Vale was where the first maccas was in Australia in 1975.
