Ride On! Entertainment

Ride On! Entertainment is the product of a family business, which began in 1965. Initially supplying coin operated pool tables, the business gradually expanded into other forms of coin operated entertainment. Beginning with the very first 'pong' video game, the business grew via video and pinball games during the 'heyday' of Space Invaders. It was this experience that introduced the company to kiddie rides in 1977. They commenced operating kiddie rides in South Australia and in 1988 they were invited by Mr David Lowy of Westfield to take over the operation of their kiddie rides nationally. they accepted and set about developing and improving the business. Once the Westfield operation was established to a high quality, they then offered our services to other shopping centre management groups, many of whom had removed kiddie rides from their centres years before. Gradually, they began installing more and more rides. The reaction from public and management was consistently favourable. Our success in Australia has led to invitations to operate overseas. they are currently operating in locations throughout Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, England and Northern Ireland. Our emphasis is on measurable improvement of the operation throughout all facets of the business. In 2018, Ride On! introduced an app called Let's Ride, which allows people to start rides contactless. Between 2019 and 2020, Ride On! has given their Australia rides contactless payment. In 2020, when the COVID pandemic began, Ride On! has given permanent guidelines for each ride including social distancing in rides, sanitizing rides, and more, but the rides get taped off during government restrictions in each state. Each year they attend major industry exhibitions. This, combined with their own ride development program ensures that the company can operate only the best rides the world has to offer.
