The two push buttons are either placed on the left or the right side of the dashboard. No matter which version you find, the speaker will always be in the same spot which is on the bottom left of the dashboard. But of course, the coin bucket is stored in the bottom dashboard which makes collecting money easier and operators don't have to bend down on to the base to collect the money.

## Sound

There is no attract sound playing during attract. But for the units that have the System 4000 timer supplied by Stamar Electronics, it plays the theme song for about 5 seconds. It plays the Tweenies theme during motion. the two push buttons makes laser sounds.

Tugs Kiddie Ride

**Tugs** is a British children's television series that started and ended in 1989. A kiddie ride from that show exists.

## Big Mac

In 1990(?), Whittaker Bros. built the second Star Tug, Big Mac, for a company called Maxman Leisure. The ride featured the Tugs theme tune when the ride is in motion and had a hooter button which made a whistle sound and also, Big Mac's eyes light up. The ride's base isn't known yet, it is most likely the same as a few of Whittakers' rides. Some of these Big Macs got converted into a very strange creation from Whittakers called *Old Toby Tug*. Whittakers were originally going to release the rest of the Star Tugs (Ten Cents, O.J., Top Hat, Warrior, Hercules, and Sunshine), but, as Big Mac didn't sell so well, the idea was sadly abandoned.

Some models were converted to “Old Toby Tug”.

TuTiTu Helicopter

The Helicopter (a.k.a TuTiTu Helicopter) kiddie ride was made by Northern Leisure in 2020. Unfortunately, this was their only ride made in the 2020s before the company went out of business the year after. It was also the final ride they ever made.

The voiceover for the ride’s dashboard and joystick button SFX was provided by Amber The Fangirl, a well known kiddie ride YouTuber.

The joystick movements don’t have phrases, only the buttons have this feature.
Superman Kiddie Rides

**Superman** is a character created by DC Comics. He is the most famous superhero of all time; without him, popular superheroes of today, like Captain America, wouldn't have ever existed. Of course, there have been a few kiddie rides made of him.

## Al Fischer

A Superman kiddie ride, based on the *Adventures of Superman* TV show starring George Reeves, was made by Al Fischer in the 1950s. It was of Superman, in a prone flying position so kids could ride on his back. The kiddie ride is extremely rare, as are most '50s rides; however, someone was able to get their hands on one and modify it so it played the theme tune to the Christopher Reeve *Superman* movies of the '70s and '80s.

## Jolly Roger Superman Train

In early 2000, Jolly Roger, fresh off the Batman and Robin Batcave, decided to make a kiddie ride of DC's other famous hero, Superman. Like how the Batcave utilized the DCAU designs of Batman and Robin, as created by Bruce Timm, this ride would use Superman's DCAU design. The ride took the form of the front of a yellow and blue locomotive, which was shown to be emerging from a tunnel into a rock fall; however, Superman "saved the day" by standing in front of it and blocking its path. The ride played Shirley Walker's theme tune to *Superman: The Animated Series*, which was in its final season at the time, and the Photo-Me buttons on the ride corresponded with a snippet containing a newly-recorded version of the classic *Superman* radio show narration (done by Don Kennedy, voice of Tansit on *Space Ghost Coast to Coast*.) His phrases are “Superman! More powerful than a locomotive!” “Superman! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!” “Look up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman!” and “Superman! Faster than a speeding bullet!” Of course, with the Soundmaster board, the theme song and voices were a semitone lower than they were originally recorded, causing the overall atmosphere of the ride to be much more magical. Interesting to note is that this is, too, an extremely rare kiddie ride, with several known locations it was in being the Palisades Center in West Nyack, NY, and the North Georgia Premium Outlets in Dawsonville, GA.

## Other variations

Versions with an Eletech soundboard featuring the theme from Superman (1978 movie) by John Williams and ray gun sound effects exist.

Two units were found at Carousel Amusements in Hornsea and Saltburn Pier. There used to be one at Five Sisters Zoo.

## Features

The ride is based on the Yohos' ship, the Rubber Duck. The ride features characters Grog and Swab in front of you, Rats on the sides of the ship, and Cat, who appears to be on the rider's seat. The ride plays the theme song from the show while its in motion and features two pushbuttons: one says, "Yoho!" and the other says, "Ahoy!" The ride features the same base and movement as the Tweenies Rocket, but the base is blue.

Toy Town Fire Van

The Toy Town Fire Van was released in the late 1990s or early 2000s. It was released in the Toy Town ride range.

## Overview/Look around/Design

The ride is built as a small little van with the same headlight and front grill design based from the 1995 Ford Transit. The van is painted red with fire graphics around it. It has two red sirens and a ladder on top. It also has a plastic windshield on the front. The small window on both sides has a person wearing a fireman outfit with a hose named Fireman Dan. His name is shown under the window. The dashboard has two overlays which is either a car dashboard or a toy town character dashboard (depending on what version). There are three buttons to press with a start button placed on the left.

## Sound

The sound playing during attract is the sirens wailing. The ride plays the song: Fireman Dan during motion. The left button makes someone say "Quick! start the pumps!" "Right-O, Fireman Dan!" The middle button sets off the siren. The right button makes someone say "Put the ladder up now, Fireman Dan!". When the ride stops, the start button announcer will say "That was great! Did you like riding with Fireman Dan?"

## Versions

### Version 1

* It has the original dashboard and starts right away after the start button is pressed.

### Version 2

* The ride now has a new dashboard overlay and has a 5 second delay to start.
The Wiggles Big Red Car (Amutec)

### Availability

Australia: Everywhere (Very Common)UK: Not much. You will never see it (Very Rare)

The Wiggles Big Red Car ride was released by Ride On Entertainment in 1997. It was made in the UK by Amutec and was only Australian-Exclusive due to licensing reasons, which explains why they're common to find in Australia. One of these units somehow got into the UK.

## Overview/Look around/Design

The ride is based from the Big Red Car itself. On the dashboard, it has two horn buttons on the left and a steering wheel on the right. Also on the dashboard, there's a coin door and a speaker which is placed on the bottom. It also has a radio panel which originally has four songs to choose. Later units has eight songs to choose.

## Sound

The ride does not have any attract sounds. The ride plays one of the four or eight songs in motion. Which are: Ride In My Big Red Car, Wake Up, Jeff! Hot Potato, We Like To Say Hello, Wiggle Party, Toot Toot, In The Big Red Car We Like To Ride, and Move Like An Emu. The horn 1 button uses the horn from the V2 Garfield Car ride, and the horn 2 button uses the horn from the BAFCO Noddy ride. Also, the song buttons act like horn buttons during motion.

## Versions

### Version 1

* The ride has four songs to choose and has the four Wiggles on yellow buttons.

### Version 2

* The ride has eight songs to choose and has the four Wiggles and the other four characters on purple buttons.

## Common Faults

* Most units does not have the lights flashing. This is because a bulb has blown and needs replacing.
* Some units have its song buttons wired up to the wrong song. (for example, Hot Potato plays We Like To Say Hello)

## Other Variations

* Over the years, Ride On has converted existing units of this ride. The first one being a V3, as it sits on an U-Drive Thomas base and only 3 songs to choose. It also uses a different timer but has the same sound.
* The second is a V4 which retains the original base and has a new radio panel for the new Wiggles, but still has original information on the back. The ride also kept the original Sound Master box but has all its audio replaced. It's obvious that this version used to be a V1 or V2. Wake Up Jeff and We Like To Say Hello has been replaced by Do The Propeller and Ready Steady Wiggle.
* The final is a V5 as it is the same as the V3 but with the new radio panel.

## Trivia

* This is the first Wiggles ride to be manufactured.
* Most units filmed always play We Like To Say Hello.
* The ride was used in an unknown episode but it has the show Where's Jeff. which had Jeff not only riding but also sleeping on the ride.
* Some units somehow got into the UK. In this case, the unit in the UK is the V1 with a Sound Master timer.

Thomas & Friends (Amuse.Me; Video)

Around that same time, Jolly Roger has made another version which has a video screen. That version is very rare to find.

## Overview/Look around/Design

The ride is like the others. Based on one of the main character's head-on promos. It is made similar to the RGM Mini Thomas. The dashboard is now blue and only their modern dashboard takes place. On the top, it has a small LCD screen.

## Video Track/What you should see on the screen.

### Attract

* It plays the first scene of the intro followed by other scenes from various episodes. It also shows text like "Please insert a coin" and "This ride is manufactured by Jolly Roger Amusement Rides Ltd" After that, it shows the Hit Entertainment Logo and then loops over and over again.

### During Ride Session.

* When a coin is inserted, it shows a picture of Bertie with the words "Press The Start Button" with two red circles on the bottom. When either red button is pressed, it shows Thomas pulling Annie and Clarabel with the words "Hold On Tight! Here We Go" It plays various clips from the show during motion. When the ride stops, it shows all the engines in the sheds with words showing on screen. "Trains And Traintracks Can Be Dangerous Places" "Stay Safe!" "Please Come Back And Have Another Ride Soon" After that, it then turns into a balloon floats up and then comes back to attract mode and does its attract screen again.

## Sound

The sound playing during attract is a generic whistle sound. The ride plays the Thomas theme during motion, mainly 3 times. The red buttons makes Thomas blow his whistle, along with other whistle sound effects and a bell.

## Versions

### Version 1

* Not much to say since it is the only version of that ride.
Toytown Police Car Kiddie Ride

The **Toytown Police Car** Was Released In 1993 By RG Mitchell And Was One Of Their Iconic 90s Rides. The Dashboard Is Similar To Thomas The Tank Engine And The 4 Track. By pushing the four coloured buttons, siren and horn Sound effects play.

## Overview/Look Around/Design

The ride looks like a small yellow car with black bumpers. It has two flashing headlights on the front. The car has a top sign that says "TAXI FREE". The Taxi Baby logo is placed on the front of the car. On the back, it has a child's head. The inside of the ride has a dashboard with 4 babies. One on top of the start button, the other on the left speedometer, third on the right speedometer and fourth on top of the horn button. It has two steering wheels, a start button on the left, the push button on the right and a gas pedal.

## Sound

It is unknown what the ride plays during attract. Once the start button is pressed, someone says something (which is inaudible for now) During movement, it plays the Looney Tunes theme. (even though the ride has nothing to do with the Looney Tunes franchise) The button on the right honks the horn and the pedal accelerates the car. When the ride stops the ride says "Come back soon!"

System 4000

The System 4000 was manufactured around the early 2000s. Mainly manufactured for Jolly Roger for their later rides.

## Functions

When the ride is turned on, it only flashes all the lights except start in a slow pattern. There are no sound effects or a message saying that the timer has completed the self test. Around once in a while, it plays a quick up to 15 seconds sound effects mostly to get attention. Also during attract, when a push button is pressed, it then plays one of the sound effects but it will not play the sound again the second time until a dedicated attract sound is played. When a coin is inserted, an unknown voice will say "Thank You!" then will constantly ask for another coin until enough money is inserted. If enough money is inserted, it then flashes the start button then asks if you want to insert more coins for 3 rides or press the start button. If the maximum amount of money is inserted, (in this case, £1 for 5 rides or £1 for 3 rides) then the timer will only ask you to press the start button. When the start button is pressed, the button stops flashing and the ride then says "Hold on tight, here we go!" and then starts moving the ride with its dedicated audio playing. One of the buttons also play various sound effects in motion. When the ride time has reached its limit, it stops the ride and then it will say "Have another ride soon" only if there are no rides available after that ride. If there is more than one ride available, it will do nothing for 2 seconds and then tells you that you have more rides available and tells you to press the start button again. Once there are no rides available, the ride then goes back to attract mode and the start button will no longer do anything.
