i love how at the start and the end theres little transitions when Scoop moved the screen out of the way then pulled out the intro and when Lofty comes in and moves the intro out of the way and pulls out the Hit Entertainment logo and then im thinking this is how tv channel changing should work!
Yes, I love little details like that! :)
Awesome
Thanks for watching Charlie! :)
Did you film Mr Funny Shoe Car? Cuz Idk if you did.
No, sadly I didn't as I'd already filmed the one in Towyn. :( Wish I had filmed more rides while they were still around.
Dont These Use Jolly Roger Messagees?
They have Stamar timers, also used on Jolly Roger rides.
@@thehistoryofcoinoperatedrides2 I Though That! Halfway In The Video, You Can Hear The Ride Say "You Have-" Before Resuming The Rides Music, I'm Guessing It Was Gonna Say "You Have 1 Ride Available, Press The Start Button To Go!"
Nessy is still there I believe. Budgie got sold on Ebay not so long ago!
I'm so glad I started filming rides when I did. So many rides on the channel have since been sold or scrapped. :(
@@thehistoryofcoinoperatedrides2 Yeah, 2017-19 was peak for rides. A lot of the older ones are getting scrapped or sold because people don't know or want to fix them. Believe Nessy went mute a year or so after you filmed this and still is to this day I believe.
You can find Whittaker Brothers Nessie to ride on but finding the real Nessie lurking under the Loch Ness lake to ride on would be a huge challenge!
Haha that's very true. I'd still love to go to Loch Ness to look for Nessie though!

Alternative Title: Tec The Tractor but only when the horse kiddie ride is on screen
Yes, that's probably a more accurate title lol. :P I wish this horse ride had still been at Folly Farm when I first visited.
This reminds me of a story that i made up. One night Snoopy was getting ready for bed he was getting inside but the inside of his kennel smelt like rotten eggs Ugh i need to clean the inside of my kennel so it will be nice and fresh! Said Snoopy. Just for tonight i will sleep on top of my kennel just like how the Snoopy kiddie ride does it and with that he climbed on top of the kennel and drifted off to sleep the next morning he was woken up by a huge crowd commentators and cars Snoopy rubbed his eyes however at that moment 0:04 the race started Snoopy suddenly found himself going a hundred miles an hour OH MY GOD!!!!! Cried Snoopy as he held on to his kennel for his life he looked down to see that there was wheels on his kennel and thought what if? He looked at the inside of his stinky kennel and he saw a steering wheel fortunately he happened to have a fresh air spray with him so he sprayed the inside of his kennel and it smelt like chlorine Ahhhhh said Snoopy admiring the now clean inside he went inside and started driving his kennel the commentators stared at the kennel in disbelief as Snoopy sped past the other cars as he neared 1st place the smile turned into a really wide grin knowing that this is his chance to win finally he crossed 1st place and everyone cheered for him Snoopy beamed with pride he just set a world record for being the first dog driver ever he was rewared with a big trophey some medals and a supply of dog food and dog toys however what he wanted to know was how to get back to Charlie Brown? The stadium was only a few miles away from the Formula One stadium so he went home and that night he slept inside his kennel its a good thing i cleaned it up! Smiled Snoopy and drifted off to sleep. The End
Great story! Thanks for sharing! :)

Did you film roley?
No, sadly I didn't. :(

Hey there! firstly congratulations for 1000 subscribers! And lastly i love your POV videos cuz firstly it gives of a sort of vision of you actually riding it and lastly sometimes it reveals behind the scenes content and when i say behind the scenes i mean you show your small camera wich i really like. What if one day you uploaded an actual behind the scenes video maybe i could learn some secrets about what small camera you use how you get the background music out when the ride is moving how you can get shots of the ride working and maybe an actual footage of you filming whatever ride you will film and im just thinking you should do kiddie ride POV's more often! That would be really cool!
Thank you! That's actually a really good idea. Maybe one time when my mum is with me (with her phone), I will get her to film a "behind the scenes" video of a ride being filmed. I normally use her phone to film POV (as is the case in this video), so can't really get POVs when I'm out filming alone.
Thanks so much can't wait for it to be published!
Awesome
Thanks for watching Charlie! :)
That is inspired by a toy from China
That’s a bootleg toy

The ride is still here and magic Castle peppa pig kuppa lightning mcqueen and ranch Cogan
Nice to know. I wish the other arcade had been open during our visit...I missed out on filming so many rides that are no longer there (like the Rondina helicopter and red baron). :(
Is the Crazy Frog Whack a Mole machine next to 1990s Merkur Gaming Pinocchio See Saw?
I hadn't even noticed that. Should have filmed that machine too!
No way! I loved this ride as a kid! The 'Fine Fare' in Newcastle Under-Lyme had one (Fine Fare, voted as the UK's ugliest building and is now a Vue cinema) and I'd always ask my mum for 20p so I could go space hopping! Great times. Thanks for showing it working, is this yours? Very cool if so! Subbed, great channel 😊
No, sadly not mine. I have a feeling this is still up for sale as the seller wants quite a high price for it. My friend bought a machine from her and asked if she would film some of the other rare rides she had for my channel. Sadly, most of these got destroyed due to health and safety concerns. RG Mitchell reused the bases for their Astro Jet rocket rides. Thanks for the subscription and childhood memory. :)

@@thehistoryofcoinoperatedrides2 Noddy my favourite ride ever
Ah these videos take me back to a simpler time! My local Walmart had this and I rode it there as a kid. Sources I've found show this ride was introduced at the ATEI Show on January 24, 1995, alongside two of Jolly Roger's then-new Licensed Character Rides - Woody and Chilly's Aeroplane, and the Pink Panther Seesaw, both of which are very rare in the UK. They were featured in the March 1995 issue of Cash Box International, which is a New Zealand-based coin-op magazine. I happened to locate the US manual for this particular model of the Garfield Car and it was released in January 1997 here in this very form. The version released in '95 stood on a standard red metal base. I wish I could locate more of the older Jolly Roger manuals as the "Kiddie Rides Wiki" is riddled with bad information and vandalized by kids.
Thanks for that info, I really need to sit down and check all the ATEI news reports in the newspapers I have so I can add in the actual release years for these rides. Strangely, I don't think I saw one of these rides on site until 1996. I'm surprised they were not more popular when first released.
Awesome
Thanks for watching Charlie! :)

Good video bro
Glad you enjoyed the video! :)
R.G. Mitchell made THIS kind of kiddie ride as late as 2004?
They did indeed, the Puppy Scooter was also a later release. Good for smaller sites that didn't have space for the bigger interactive rides.
Awesome
Thanks for watching Charlie! :)
There used to be one at Sandown Pier in Sandown,Isle Of Wight but it’s now gone.
I haven't been to Sandown Pier for about ten years, but from pictures I've seen online, looks like they mostly have Polish rides now?
@@thehistoryofcoinoperatedrides2although Scoop and Totally Garfield are still at the Pier.
I don’t mind asking but have u got anymore videos of kiddies rides at the needles in Alum Bay?
I don't think I filmed anything else there sadly. If I did, the videos would still be on Skylark24.
0:13 is when the music starts.
that ride is not in waves amusements anymore
The music sounds very similar to the Old Mac’s Farm Kiddie Ride!
