Cars Kiddie Rides

**Cars** is a 2006 computer-animated road country film produced by PIXAR and released by Disney. EMT, Merkur Kids, and Cogan have made rides from the movie. Bootleg versions doesn't count but we will make a bootleg rides page based from every bootleg ride or just make a wiki dedicated to it.

## Others

* Bootleg kiddie rides from the movie exist (mostly Lightning McQueen), by Magic Play (under the name Spark), Automaty Kupper (under the name Cabrio McKupper), and Leontronic (who also made a Tow Mater kiddie ride). Leontronic have also made video option versions of Lightning and Mater. The videos can be found on YouTube (for Mater) and Facebook (for Lightning).
* A blue Merkur V2 Lightning McQueen with a Stamar board can be found in Snakes & Ladders, Houghton Regis. The ride has the same engine sounds as Jolly Roger rides like the Roadster, Roadside Rescue, Vending Van, etc, but with the addition of some McQueen voice clips. The buttons have four other McQueen phrases, which are:
	1. "Ka-chow!"
	2. "Didn't I pass you already?"
	3. "YE-HEEEAH!"
	4. "I... am... speed..."
* (NOTE: These phrases were taken from Cars: The Video Game)
