Little Monsters
The Little Monsters School Bus ride was released by Jolly Roger Amusement Rides in 1998.
2000 Jolly Roger Catalogue
According to the Jolly Roger catalogue, the bus measured 60" x 30" x 57" and, as of the 2002 price list, cost £3,295.00 to purchase.
Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach Gardens, April 2017. Sadly, this unit had been heavily refurbished and altered. It ran on a single 50p coin with the start button activation having been bypassed. Neither button produced any sound effect, and it also gave a disappointingly short ride! Alas, I have yet to find a better example to film! The audio heard on this unit was later used on Jolly Roger's Vending Bus and Jollytown School Bus, among others.
I can remember riding one of these at the Galleria Shopping Centre in Hatfield back when it was new in 1998. I could have sworn that unit played the Little Monster theme tune but, apparently, the generic engine sounds heard in the video above were more commonly used on this ride, so I am presuming there are two official versions.
Flounder
Manufactured by RG Mitchell, Flounder was released in 1998. Flounder was a big yellow fish with large blue eyes and red lips. There was space for two riders inside the fish, and special features included an interactive game and digital sound effects.
2001 RG Mitchell Catalogue
The ride measured 69" x 36" x 67" and weighed 330lbs. As of the 2001 price list, it cost £2,895.00 to purchase.
Sadly, this ride is so incredibly rare nowadays that, although this is only a POV (and in Hungarian at that!), I was very excited when I received this video! Many thanks to the anonymous member of the ride community who donated this video to us!

Beach Buggy
Using the same mould as their earlier Alpha Ted car (minus the bear character), RG Mitchell's Beach Buggy ride was released in 1998.
2000 RG Mitchell Catalogue
The car came in a variety of different colours and had a "rolling road" display screen inside along with two push buttons for horns and screeching brake sound effects.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach, August 2018
The ride was part of Mitchell's Classic Rides range, and production was discontinued around 2001.
