Filmed at K-Mart in Williamsburg, Virginia on September 25th 2013.
I'll be first to admit I know next to nothing about American rides. My speciality is rides made (or at least commonly distributed) in Britain. However, I am interested in all kiddie rides and do want to cover those made in other countries on the website eventually so, when we were on holiday in the USA back in 2013, I was eager to find some rides to film.
I found three outside K-Mart in Willamsburg, including this charming little horse. Somebody else had obviously already inserted a coin so I was lucky enough to be able to operate him for just one quarter!
He seemed to be in perfect working order - I'm guessing these are his original colours and music?
I have no idea of his age or who made him. So I'll turn it over to all of my American ride fans. Any information on him will be much appreciated!
UPDATE: Greenth1ngReturns tells us that "This ride was manufactured by Kiddie's of Puerto Rico and marketed by Just Kiddie Rides Inc. of Farmingdale, New York. Can't find a year on it, but I'm going to guess it's probably from either the late 80's or early 90's."
