Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach Gardens, April 2017. Sadly, this unit had been heavily refurbished and altered.  It ran on a single 50p coin with the start button activation having been bypassed.  Neither button produced any sound effect, and it also gave a disappointingly short ride!  Alas, I have yet to find a better example to film!  The audio heard on this unit was later used on Jolly Roger's Vending Bus and Jollytown School Bus, among others.

I can remember riding one of these at the Galleria Shopping Centre in Hatfield back when it was new in 1998.  I could have sworn that unit played the Little Monster theme tune but, apparently, the generic engine sounds heard in the video above were more commonly used on this ride, so I am presuming there are two official versions.
