World of Rides is offering amusement operators a new model of soft-impact bumper car to address safety fears over hard-impact dodgems. The twin-seat car, suitable for children aged six and up, is fitted with a programmable timer that allows the operator to adjust speed, ride duration, and price. Batteries can run for eight hours between charges, and sockets are fitted to minimise the need for setup when cars are charged overnight.
Says the firm: “Bumper car rides always enjoy constant multi-use by families, so their income levels are not dependent upon footfall alone, and neither are they weather-dependent, as they can also be safely operated either indoors or outdoors.”
It cautions that they are not suitable for running on sand, but says its customers do include “coastal resort operators who make either wooden or plastic portable tracks to put on top of the sand”.
Each car measures 175cm across and 100cm high, and weighs 115kg without batteries.
World of Rides recommends a minimum 7.5x7.5m track for five bumper cars, with a perimeter barrier 30cm high and safety railings 100cm high.
