Falgas

**Falgas**, formerly **Falgàs Comercial SL** is a Spanish kiddie ride company founded in 1960, and headquartered in Castelló d'Empúries, Spain and it used to make licensed rides until mid 2000s. I think the Castelló d'Empúries headquarters come back.

M89 boards (like in one taxi ride) have been known to be stolen the theme from the old Warner Bros. cartoons. In 2001, Falgas issued a lawsuit against Warner Bros. for stolen music

## Falgas (1st iteration)

### Founder

Joaquin Falgas

Their kiddie rides have announcements in gibberish (M87/M89), or either English, Spanish, French, German, Italian (depending on the ride's location). They used to have a coin emblem everywhere until the late 2000s

## Start Buttons

1. Prototype (1984), On very few of the rides, the start button is yellow and opaque and circular and no text.
2. Mark I (1987), Originally, Falgas’ Start buttons were rectangular and vertical, they have the text START in the button but in Serif font, it is green.
3. Mark II (1995), Ever since the release of Taxi Baby, the button made horizontal, but no start text until it was added sometime in 1997 in Sans Serif
4. Mark III (1996), same as original but the text is now in Sans Serif.
5. Mark IV (1999), Same as the Mark II but now it’s oval, Start text uses a weird font and a Falgas logo is placed under the start text.
6. Mark V (2007), Same as Mark IV but start text is in Sans Serif and no Falgas logo.
7. Mark VI (2012), same as Mark V but vertical like in the original start button. Exclusive to Jalisco Horse
8. Mark VII (2018), Same as Jolly Roger’s start button. Exclusive to KidSim

In 1997, Joaquin decided to make a new board with announcements, the M97, with them, it was able to change languages providing by the country’s main language, if the ride isn’t on main language, set the ride to English. City Taxi used the Looney Tunes theme. The 4x4 off road car variant is across 3 different rides (Magnum, Striker, Daniel's Car), and using the same theme tune in Goldwing bike. This was used in 1997-2011. On generic rides, it depicted instrumentals of Spanish lullabies and nursery rhymes.
