When in motion, the ride played the Jimbo theme tune.  There were four push buttons for sound clips taken from the TV show.  The original version also had moving "goggle eyes" but the covers often became smashed so the design was updated.


Watford Market, March 2014.  This unit was in very nice original condition with all original sound effects.
