Amutec Fun Bus Coin-Operated Ride

Made and manufactured by Amutec of Mablethorpe, UK in the late 1990s.

Actually, I thought Fun Bus was made in 2001, along with Smokey Joe.

The voice sounds like they went through so much

[@nicktaff09]

Can older people fit in this ride? That would be funny.

[@bfdigarfielfyinyangyofan2091]

This was released around late 1999.

This bus looks like Hank the Van.

[@ConversusVans]

It is similar in design.

[@ChuckEGreenwood]

+Conversus W. Vans (Paul) They have this ride at the Chuck E. Cheese's in the Eagle Rock Mall in Los Angeles California.

+Devin Schwab and at the CEC in Leominster MA.

The "another coin please" voice sounds so depressed.

[@ConversusVans]

Sorry for not responding to this comment, but yes, it's a little depressed. Many Jolly Roger rides use it, as well.

[@SCroz88]

It's fine. I completely forgot about the comment; I post so many!

[@Jrideguy]

why does this have jolly roger insert coin and hold tight messages?

[@ConversusVans]

You know, when I first saw this ride, I automatically assumed it was Jolly Roger because of those voices, but I've discovered from various KZbin videos that there are other Amutec rides with them.

+Conversus W. Vans (Paul) There's an Amutec crocodile car at Knoxville Center mall that has those same messages. I might try to get a video of it and the Bafco fire truck next time I'm there.

[@ConversusVans]

Let me just list all the Amutec rides I've seen: - Tweenies rocket (believe this or not) - Police bike - Fire engine - A Teletubbies ride (I can't remember if it was Noo-Noo or the Superdome) - Rio Grande train - Amutec Kiddie Coaster - Chuck E. Cheese Photo Car - and this ride

[@ConversusVans]

BTW, here's all the rides I saw here in Sugarloaf Mills (from my recollection): - Amutec: this ride, a fire truck, Kiddie Coaster, police bike and a carousel - R.G. Mitchell: all Hank vans, Fred's Fire Truck, convertible car - Tigger Boat from EMT - Sundance horse from Theisen Vending - Jolly Roger NASCAR simulator I also would've gotten the Tigger boat, but unfortunately, I don't think the ride had any sound. :(

not press start

[@SCroz88]

No, I didn't hear it. It obviously doesn't have one and operates automatically.
