Again - Can you guess the price for this? One hint - ain’t coming cheap!
This is the classic rocket ride encountered in front of supermarketsduring the 1960s, recalling a time when a single nickel and imaginationwas the only requirement a child needed. An authentic unit refurbishedto its original state, including the details of its tapered nose cone,bulbous body, and symbols suggestive of space travel.
Made of sturdyfiberglass, the rocket ride uses an electric motor to provide the sameone-minute "traveling" motion that it provided nearly half a centuryago, including gentle rising, diving, and banking left and right; thespeed of motion is controlled by turning the handle bars. A built-insound system produces rocket sound effects, including take-offprocedures, countdown, lift-off, and flight.
The coin box takes dimes; coins are easily retrieved. Resting on a platform ofpolished aluminum diamond plate–the classic metal flooring forcarnival arcade rides–the ride rolls smoothly on four casters.
