Robot Kiddie Ride

The Robot is a Kiddie Ride made by amutec originally in the 1980s. It first came in the MK1 design, then the MK2 design in the 1990s, and the rare MK3 design in the 2000s.

## Variations

The MK1 Robot is the first Robot released by Amutec in the 1980s. Almost all Amutec Robots talk.
The MK2 Robot was released in 1999. Nothing much was changed except for the design.
The last Robot, the MK3, was released in the 2000s, the prototype of this ride, had a voice changer feature similar to the Fun Bus. But the MK3 robot is the rarest out of all Amutec Robots. It featured a camera, and the rider could change the MK3 Robot's rotation by the joystick. One MK3 robot, repainted in black, can be found in South Mall in Allentown Pennsylvania.

Quotes from the ride:
"TALK TO ME!"
"FIRE GUN!"
Clifford The Big Red Dog Kiddie Rides

Clifford the Big Red Dog was released in 2003. It is unknown if the ride was successful or not. But the ride was common in the UK.

## Overview/Look around/Design

It resembles the titular character himself. Not much to say. Not even Emily Elizabeth is seen anywhere on this ride.

## Sound

The ride plays the beginning part of the theme song during attract. The ride plays the full Clifford theme song in motion. The red press button just makes him bark.

## Other Variations

* There has been a unit which has an Eletech timer but plays Looney Tunes music.
* At Barry Island, there's two of them but both of them are fitted with the LED lights which ruins the ride. And it could damage the timer, the motor or even blind people!

The show's subject matter has been compared to that of *Star Trek* and *Thunderbirds* blended with Jacques Cousteau. In 2015, a kiddie ride based on the show has the submarine GUP-A with pictures of the main characters from the Octonauts TV series, manufactured by Jolly Roger.

It was introduced in the United States, in 1952, as "Sugar Frosted Flakes". The word "sugar" was dropped from the name in 1983. Generic versions, such as store brands, are also available. Unlike many cereals, such as Cheerios, Shreddies and Rice Krispies, the name “Frosted Flakes” is so generic that it cannot be trademarked, and thus it often shares its name with competitors. Its mascot, Tony the Tiger, is seen as a kiddie ride.
Brum (Original Version)

Brum was released in 1997. This version is very rare to find nowadays.

## Overview/Look around/Design

The ride is based from Brum himself. It is bigger than the actual Brum you see throughout the series. The steering wheel is placed on the right, just like you see in an actual UK car. The two buttons are placed on the top left, horizontal. There's also a coin door with a start button fitted with a speaker next to it. The ride also has 1 door only. As for the eyes, they actually move during motion or during attract. It is rare to find a Brum with moving eyes.

## Sound

The sound playing during attract is the beginning of the Brum Series 1 theme. The ride plays the Brum Series 1 theme during motion. The beep button beeps the horn and the wiper button makes Brum say "Oh, wheels and wipers!"

## Versions

### Version 1

* Not much to say since it is the only version of that ride

## Other Releases

### Australia

* Ride On! AU has distributed these units for operation in Australia. It is very rare to find nowadays.

## Other Variations

* A few units has the timer which is for the newer version.
* The unit at Barry Island Pleasure Park needs serious help as the steering wheel doesn't work and the eyes aren't moving. To make matters worse, it has the lights on the front which of course, ruins the ride. (More lights don't attract more people!)
* The ride design is recycled for a USA exclusive Old Timer/Vertran Car.

## Trivia

* The ride was released around the same time as The Wiggles.
* This is the first Amutec ride to be manufactured under the Ragdoll license.

Merkur Gaming

Merkur Gaming was founded in an unknown year. This brand is one of those companies that's owned by The Gauselmann Group. The Gauselmann Group owned one of these brands which are Merkur Gaming and GeWeTe. Around the mid-2000s, they bought EMT. Their rides are no longer manufactured in EMT's factory and are now being manufactured in the GeWeTe factory. Merkur Gaming sold one of their rides in the EMT name but then rebranded their kiddie ride brand to "Merkur Kids" But they did continue to make EMT's other rides. Nowadays, we have never heard anything new from Merkur. It's most likely that Merkur has closed their kiddie ride division for some reason. But on the plus side, Northern Leisure did distribute some Merkur Kids rides. But however, Merkur Gaming is still around. Now because that Merkur Gaming did manufacture a lot of rides, the rides is what this page is going to focus on.

## Rides (pictures coming soon)

Technically, all rides involved with Merkur Gaming and the Gauselmann Group are manufactured in GeWeTe's factory. Merkur Gaming sold these rides under the EMT brand but EMT rebranded into Merkur Kids in 2007/2008/2009. But however, They stop producing Disney rides since 2017.

Fireman Sam (RG Mitchell)

This is the new version of Fireman Sam that has debuted at the ATEI in 1999. It was released a few years after OMC Electronics closed its doors.

## Overview/Look around/Design

The ride is almost identical. The front grill is removed along with the helmet badges and the logo on the door. Elvis is gone and Station Officer Steele is replaced with Penny. The dashboard is similar as it has the credit display removed and the 2 push buttons are now red and blue.

## Sound

The sound playing during attract is the 1st seconds of the intro (the alarm clock noise). When the start button is pressed, Station Officer Steele says "Ready, Everyone?" (which is from an rare Fireman Sam PC Game). The ride plays the Fireman Sam theme song during motion. The blue button sounds the siren which is accurate this time and the red button makes Sam say "Great Fires of London!" (which is also from a rare Fireman Sam PC game)

## Versions

### Version 1

* The sound is in normal pitch meaning it is on the same speed as you would see the show from television. The speaker is placed on Sam's legs. It also has Mrs Mitchell.

### Version 2

* The sound is low pitch and the speaker is moved away from Sam's legs. But it still has Mrs Mitchell.

### Version 3

* The ride has new messages due to the later units being produced in the 21st century.
