Mickey Mouse Car

 Manufactured by Elektro Mobiltechnik of Germany, this was one of the earliest in their wide range of Disney kiddie rides, released in the mid-1990s.


Skegness Pleasure Beach, June 2017.  This unit had been refurbished with a Stamar timer.

There are several versions of this ride.  The first is the one shown in the video above, on the high long EMT base.  I have fond memories of these in Woolworths clothing departments in the 1990s.  I seem to recall them playing the same music heard on the EMT Pocahontas carousel and Modhesh rides but can't be certain.

The second version was released on a smaller EMT base around 2002, meaning the coin slot had to be moved into the wheel arch of the car.  This version was distributed in the UK by Northern Leisure Kiddy Rides.


Happyland Amusements, Bournemouth, September 2020

Later versions were made by GeWeTe/Merkur Gaming.

Most of these seem to play either the "Mickey Mouse March" or "It's a Small World" when in motion.  There is a push button inside for a car horn sound effect.
