2000s Coin Operated Van Kiddie Ride - Parkdean Sidmobile

Filmed at Waves Amusements, Prestatyn on May 3rd 2017. I'm not entirely sure of the story behind this ride. It appears to be an official factory-made modification of R G Mitchell's Hank's Hot Dog Van. The ride features a fibreglass model of Parkdean's mascot, Sid the Seagull, on top of the van and plays the "Sid and Lizzie" tune. I presume this was originally intended to be sited exclusively at the arcades on site at Parkdean Resorts. I have no idea how many of these were made. I saw one at Parkdean in Pendine Sands a couple of years ago (I don't know if it's still there so possibly that was the same one seen here). If anybody has further information about the release of this ride, please let me know! I am currently working on a website about coin operated rides, particularly those made (or at least commonly distributed) in the UK during the 1950s-90s.

I would be eternally grateful. Thank you! :) Connect with us on social media!
