Review of Tank Mania from 1 August 2012
What a load of rubbish, we went to tank mania the tanks were breaking down, people were leaving because of all the waiting around. they say refresments provided thats if you like crisps or chocolate which you had to pay for. Tea and coffee were free provided you dont take sugar as they had none. We had to pay £20.00 to stand in a paddock, the chairs they had were very dirty and sticky. Its been over a week now and we have not yet recieved the photos we paid £10.00 for, from an unprofessional photographer, as you are not allowed to take your own photos. This place could be so much better if it were run properly and not just to rip people off. Most dissapointed.

Hi to all at Tankmania,
To Duncan, Jane, AJ, Sam and "The mad DAF truck Driver!!" a big thanks for looking after me and my family and friends on our trip to Tankmania, it was a very enjoyable day that we all will never forget.
Me and the kids thought the mini tanks were great and really enjoyed the ride in the large tank, all topped off with a drive in the DAF truck driven by "the mad DAF Truck driver". (speedy).!!
Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Review of Tank Mania from 24 July 2012
Not worth the money! It's very difficult to find as it is not sign posted at all, the post code on the sat nav takes you to a farm house! Once you find it you'll get picked up by an army personell truck and taken to a makeshift porta cabin where you sign in and get given your uniform....although there wasn't enough uniforms to go around. Spectators are required to pay £20 each to stand in a sort of paddock with limited dirty patio chairs. Tea and coffee is free but there wasn't any sugar, and there was no food available despite the website saying refreshments were provided. People were split into two groups and then driven around in the army personnel truck, off road tank, and on road tank. After the first half, the off road tank needed a new fuel pump, and the staff were unsure as to whether or not it could be repaired for that day, so we waited for a couple of hours for it to be repaired. You cannot take photos there, you have to pay for a disc of photos taken by a girl who is clearly not a professional photographer (even I know where to have the sun facing when taking a pic). The staff were very lovely however, but the whole set-up seemed very amateurish and unprofessional. Disappointing.

Review of Tank Mania from 19 July 2012
Excellent day out! I had read the reviews below and was very worried as I'd booked as a surprise for my boyfriends birthday. 
We parked up and was taken in an army truck down the main part where you need to register, have your safety talk and get your overalls. 
We were then taken on the Trio of Tanks experience which was excellent value for money- £34 for two hours. Apparently part of the course was unavailable due to rain but I thought the course was adequate and I wouldn't have known.
I also paid for my boyfriend to have a driving experience. We had to wait for everyone to go and Duncan took us both in the tank and he got about 40 minutes driving the tank!
Such a good day out and would recommend to anyone!

Review of Tank Mania from 28 May 2012
We had exactly the same experience as the last couple of reviewers. Only 1 of the 5 mini tanks was working (and that still kept breaking down) and there is no fun driving around on your own, so we gave up after about 20 minutes. The big tank we had been promised a ride in was also broken. We weren't told about this before travelling there - otherwise we would have cancelled and demanded a refund. Apparently things were only broken that morning before we arrived (yeah, right). We negotiated a half price refund whilst there which the owner subsequently refused to honour. After further correspondence he has agreed to pay this but we havent actually seen the money yet. Its a shame - this could be such a good concept, and a great day out but the machinery and customer service completely lets it down, and you get the impression of a really unprofessional outfit. I just wouldn't recommend it at all - we paid £50 each and were utterly disappointed - the worst part of all was it was a surprise for a friend, and we just felt stupid that we had wasted her time. I would have given 0 starts but apparently I am not allowed so have given one to allow me to post this.

A dishonest company that takes your money but ignores your booking requests for days despite several emails and then sends a rude response saying fully booked!

Don’t waste your time. Waiting for refund!
