Kiddie Ride – A Place For the Whole Family to Come and Have Fun
A kiddie ride is a small coin-operated machine that moves up and down or back and forth while playing music and sometimes sound effects. They’re found outside grocery, drug and five-and-dime stores as well as shopping centers.
The first was built in 1931 by a Missouri inventor named Otto Hahs. He had made a mechanical horse to entertain his children, and it became a hit.
Fun for the whole family
Kiddie Ride is a place for the whole family to come and have fun. With sixteen rides, there is something for everyone to enjoy! From the Berry-Go-Round to the Boomers Circus kids will have a blast. They will also love the Dizzy Dragons which allows them to control their own dragon for a custom ride experience. Children can fly like a bird on the Flying Dragons, or hop in their frog-like vehicle for a wild bouncing ride.
What child doesn’t dream of being captain of their own ship? Our kids can do just that aboard the Kiddie Boats. The boats rise up to 12 feet high in a circle and provide views of the entire park. Kids can also pilot their very own biplane on our Red Baron plane ride which takes them up and down in circles.
The Kiddie Carousel is a classic that is loved by all generations! Choose your favorite hand-carved horse and enjoy a ride set to beautiful organ music. Then, try to catch the elusive brass ring, an on-ride game that is offered on very few carousels today!
Safety first
While all amusement park rides are subject to strict safety standards, kiddie rides often face additional scrutiny. This is largely due to the perceived perception that these rides are less safe than larger, more high-speed rides. However, it is important to remember that even the most well-maintained ride can pose risks. This is why it is crucial to conduct regular safety inspections.
It is also important to enforce minimum height restrictions and to check to make sure that seatbelts and restraints fit correctly. This helps to prevent children from becoming a choking hazard on the ride and also ensures that they are secure during the ride. Additionally, it is important to have clear Kiddie Ride emergency procedures posted and to make sure that guests are aware of what to do in the event of a malfunction or accident.
Finally, it is vital to teach children how to properly use the rides and to supervise them at all times. This will help to ensure that they obey listed age, height, weight and health restrictions and follow all posted ride safety rules. It is also important to remind them to keep their hands, arms and legs inside the ride at all times and to secure loose articles like wallets, change, cell phones and hats. It is also important to teach them what to do if they become separated from their parents during the ride and to point out uniformed park employees and designate a conspicuous location where they can meet.
Fun for all ages
Kiddie rides are a great way to keep kids entertained, while parents can do some shopping or relax in the cafe. These Kids Arcade Vendors rides are made to be sturdy and long-lasting with steel frames and machine grade electric motors. They also don’t require a lot of routine maintenance. They usually only need to be wiped down with a cloth and occasionally have the motor oil replaced.
Kiddies rides come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Some are themed like the Berry Go Round that has children riding oversized strawberries while others are designed to be more exciting, such as the Motorcycle Jump with kids driving tame motorcycles that pop wheelies and leap over jumps. Other themes are more modern, such as the Jolly Roger Amusement Rides that features NASCAR themed racecars.
Some kiddie rides have a theme song that plays on repeat to attract attention and to help keep the riders interested. They may also play a running narration or tell a story that helps the child stay engaged during their ride. The more advanced rides will prompt the rider to seat themselves before movement begins and often have an ending message to let the rider know it is time to disembark.
Many kiddie rides are licensed by popular brands, movies or TV shows. Some of the more popular licensed rides include the Dino ride from The Flintstones, which plays “Meet the Flintstones” when it is in motion. Other popular characters include a police car and fire truck from the TV show Paw Patrol, as well as an airplane with Woody Woodpecker and Chilly Willy from The Pink Panther cartoons.
Great for parties
A trip to the amusement park is a great way for kids to have fun and enjoy some thrilling rides. However, many parents hate the idea of having to stand in a long line for their kid to ride a one-minute merry-go-round or roller coaster.
Fortunately, a Kiddie Ride can offer the same level of excitement for kids without the massive wait times. These rides are perfect for parties and can be rented for a reasonable price. At Send In The Clowns, we have a wide variety of rides to choose from including the classic carnival train, which plays cute kid-friendly tunes and is manned by an adult party attendant so that you can relax and let your child ride the rails!
The best part about these rides is that they can be themed to match a specific event. For example, we have a Thomas the Tank Engine kiddie ride that features four push buttons that trigger different sounds depending on which character you select – “You’re a really useful engine” (Thomas), “I need you to help the other engines” (Sir Topham Hatt), a whistle sound (James) and steam sound (Percy).
Similarly, our dinosaur kiddie ride features an MP3 player that can play a variety of roaring noises to make for a truly unique experience. Moreover, our mermaid flumes offer a unique and enchanting way to experience under the sea theming while being spun around like a hamster in a wheel.
