Steady Eddie

 Manufactured by RG Mitchell, this two-seater Eddie Stobart lorry was released in 1999.  Interactive features included a "rolling road" display screen and four push buttons for road safety sound effects.


2002 RG Mitchell Catalogue

Sadly, this ride never seemed to gain the same popularity as some of Mitchell's other rides and I only ever saw a handful of them.


The Mirage Amusements, Hemsby, April 2017

The ride measured 65" x 29" x 49" and weighed 308lbs.  It cost £2,895.00 to purchase as of the 2001 price list.

Fireman Sam

RG Mitchell of Skegness acquired the rights to Fireman Sam in the late 1990s, and launched this new, improved version of OMC's earlier model at the ATEI in January 1999.  The most notable visible difference at first glance is that Penny now sits behind the child rider, where Station Officer Steele once sat on the OMC version.

2000 RG Mitchell Catalogue

The ride measured 58" x 28" x 52" and, as of the 2001 price list, cost £2,495.00 to purchase.

Asda, Colindale, February 2017.  Unfortunately, this unit had a rather noisy motor which made it very hard to record the ride's audio.  As you can hear, the sound kind of dips in and out on this video.  I tried my best but, if given another chance to film, I probably wouldn't place my audio recorder on the floor of the ride!

Super Express

 This steam engine was manufactured by Lindenberg Rijssen of Holland.  I know very little about it but believe it was released in the mid-1990s.  I only ever saw two of these as a child, both of them at Walton-on-the-Naze Pier.  A plate on the ride's base says the ride (at least the one shown in the video below) was operated/distributed by W.S.G. Operating Co. Ltd., a company who appear to be run by none other than Walton Pier!  So it's possible that W.S.G. imported a job lot and were operating several in the area.

Bier Wagon

 Manufactured by Memo Park of Italy, the Bier Wagon was released in the late 1990s.
