Postman Pat

RG Mitchell of Skegness acquired the rights to Postman Pat in the late 1990s, and launched this "new, improved" version of OMC's earlier ride at the ATEI in January 1998.  While at first glance, you could be forgiven for thinking that the ride had not undergone many changes, the interior underwent a complete makeover and included one of Mitchell's trademark "rolling road displays" on the dashboard.  Like its OMC predecessor, the ride has two sound effect push buttons, one for the "toot toot" of a horn, the other for Jess's "Meow".

The movement of the ride also differs from OMC's usual oscillating motion to a more standard smooth forward and back.


Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach Gardens, April 2017.  Sadly, the audio quality on this particular unit wasn't great, but I tried my best!

The ride measured 55" x 29" x 46", and weighed 231lbs.  It cost £2,495.00 to purchase, as of the 2001 price list.
