Benno's Great Race takes visitors on a romp through a cartoon version of the Italian countryside. With wrenches in hand, riders engage in several interactive tasks along the way, helping build a race car and later clearing obstacles along its path.
The ride is a clever mix of practical and screen effects, with the screens hosting the interactive elements. Using that wrench as a controller, corresponding icons on the screens become wrenches, scissors, or hammers under your control. The interactive media were developed by Alterface and Pure Imagination Studios, who worked on Six Flags' Theme Park Insider Award-winning Justice League Battle for Metropolis last year.

Here's a video from the park describing the ride, its inspiration, and creation:
And because you were going to demand it, here is the ride POV video:
