## Amutec versions

Since 1997, Amutec Released The Big Red Car Kiddie Ride.

* V1 was released in 1997. It has 4 songs (We Like To Say Hello, Big Red Car, Hot Potato and Wake Up Jeff).

* V2, Released In 2002 has 8 songs (In the Big Red Car We Like to Ride, Move like an Emu, Toot Toot, and Wiggle Party were the new additions to the Wiggles radio.) (Note: This One Has A Photo-Me/Stamar Board)
* V3, Released In 2002 Has Only 3 Songs with the base from Trevor Spitz (in the Trevor Spitz level).
	+ In March 2017, A V3 Was Spotted At Westfield Woden With Only 2 Songs (As "We Like To Say Hello" Was Removed From The Board due to the audio file failing to play.
* V4, Released in 2017 has 2 new songs from the new Wiggles, 2 songs (We Like to Say Hello and Wake Up Jeff) are placed in with "Ready Steady, Wiggle!" and "Do the Propeller!"
	+ Some of this version kept the original songs from the V1/V2 Big Red Car Ride without warning which it was spotted in Castle Hill, some of this version has the correct audio.
* V5, Released In 2017 This ride is an updated model of the V3 Big Red Car ride, featuring a new dashboard, new buttons, and supposedly, new songs, all to represent the new Wiggles (Emma, Simon, Lachy, and Anthony) rather than the former (Greg/Sam, Murray, and Jeff). However, this unit's timer was unchanged.
	+ "We Like To Say Hello" on this version was swapped out for the newer song "Do The Propeller!", though this unit kept the original songs from the V3 Big Red Car without warning, even with the title above the button stating differently. In October 2018, A V5 Was Spotted at Goulburn Square With Only 2 Songs (as the song "Hot Potato" plays "We Like To Say Hello" which also plays for "Big Red Car", due to a wiring issue. In addition to this, the Big Red Car (which plays "We Like To Say Hello") button didn't work at all when pressed.

In 2007, Ride On! Entertainment and Amutec refurbished some.of the V1 and V3 rides which uses Kiddy Rides Australia parts such as the Wiggles Swirls, a new dashboard, a longer set timer (with a Sunrise Micro board) and the attract mode (the attract mode is the Wiggles Carousel's ending message.), Most notably, some of those had an ability to go for 2 rides that have a Sunrise Micro control board.

## Trevor Spitz versions

Trevor Spitz made 2 Wiggles rides using his own parts and a washing machine in the very early 2000s, who then sold it to Ride On! NZ and they continued manufacturing this ride.

* The Dorothy the Dinosaur Kiddie Ride is very interesting ride sees its riders riding on Dorothy’s blankets while she swings it from side to side. It has very long messages and 3 Wiggles songs to choose from.
* Also he made the 3rd and the 5th versions of the Big Red Car Kiddie Rides by using an original Amutec-built toy on a base previously honed by the Honey Pot Kart, a commercially flopped attempt at an interactive ride designed by a corporation in New Zealand. It featured a similar radio mechanism as the original, just losing one song to fit what would be on a new control board The V5 Big Red Car is an updated model of the V3 Big Red Car ride, featuring a new dashboard, new buttons, and supposedly, new songs, all to represent the new Wiggles (Emma, Simon, Lachy, and Anthony) rather than the former (Greg/Sam, Murray, and Jeff).

## Kiddy Rides Australia/Ride On! Entertainment versions (with the Carousel)

In 2006, KRA made the Carousel of three vehicles (Big Red Car, Big Red Boat, and Big Red Plane) which they have recycled radio plates from Amutec inside the vehicles for anyone to enjoy the ride and songs. Basically they have 3 song like Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car, Big Red Boat and Fly Through the Air.

They were made as hi-boy Wiggles carousels, featuring the canopy and top lights. As of 2010, they have been now shrunk down to lo-boy as big carousels were becoming easy to break and hard to move around. (one of them was seen in Yeppoon Central as a Big Wiggles Carousel.)

* V1 has the original murals with Greg (before his temporary retirement due to him being diagnosed with Orthostatic Intolerance) along with the three poles which would later be removed in 2010 for future purposes. In New Zealand, the Big Red Plane has a seat blocker while the seats are open for the boat and the car.
* V2 still has the original murals when Sam filled in for Greg in 2007.
* V3 has the 2013 murals which it has the arrival of Simon, Lachy and Emma while Anthony stays with them. Strangely enough, it retained the songs from 1998-2007 until in 2017 where the new licensing came along and refurbished some of the Wiggles carousels with new audio.
* V4 features the ride with the new Wiggles audio.

In mid 2006, KRA made another Big Red Car which this time it has new materials (yellow windshield, small song buttons (with the Wiggles Swirls), 2 new songs (LIVE Hot Potatoes!), 2 old songs (Wake Up Jeff!) and no doorway. It featured the original horn sound effects, original announcement tracks voiced by KRA director Barry Wigley, and all put together on a brand-new, much larger and more realistic ride module, fresh from the warehouse. In mid 2009, KRA made a refurbished Big Red Car which uses a different Sunrise Micro motor, has a coloured wheel, and adds a stopping sound effect to the ride when it ends.

* V1 has the original songs from the Amutec V1 Big Red Car, but with some 2 original songs were kept while the other 2 will replace with (LIVE Hot Potatoes!). Without warning, a V1 Big Big Red Car was spotted at Findon Shopping Centre where it plays the New Wiggles songs (but was later fixed in late 2017 as the new Wiggles rides came along).
* V2 has another new material which it features Simon, Lachy, Anthony and Emma and they have remove 2 songs and replaced with "Ready Steady, Wiggle!" and "Do the Propeller!".
	+ Without warning, a V3 Big Big Red Car was spotted at Auburn Central Shopping Centre where it kept the V1 audio.
