Pelican

Hove, August 1997

Manufactured by Falgas, I believe this pelican was released in the early 1990s.  It originally came in realistic pelican white colouration with its wings being the only brightly coloured part.  However, Falgas went on manufacturing the bird for many years and, by the turn of the 21st century, it has undergone the garish makeover that so many continental rides went through at the time.

Fantasy Island, Ingoldmells, June 2017.  This particular unit clearly has the wrong sound chip and thinks it's a horse!  Unfortunately, something went wrong with my camera and slowed the original audio down (as can be heard at the start of the video before the dubbed audio cut in!)
