Whether you’re test riding a new bike, participating in a parade lap on the track, or soaring through the air on one of our new amusement rides, there are so many ways to make your weekend at COTA unforgettable,” says Courtney Young, COTA Chief Experience Officer.

Two Expanded Fan Zones: The COTA Fan Zones located in both the Grand Plaza and Support Paddock are a motorcycle lover’s paradise. All weekend long, these areas will be bustling with motorcycle enthusiasts and vendors showcasing the hottest bikes, gear and accessories.
