1990s Coin Operated Tiger Kiddie Ride

Filmed at Claremont Pier in Lowestoft on September 22nd 2012. This unusual two-seater tiger is another ride that I know very little about. I first ran across him at Claremont Pier in 1998 and he looked relatively new then (Having said that, he hadn't aged too badly when I took this film 14 years later so who knows how old he is!) There was also a matching lion ride on the pier at the time, and another identical lion at Joyland in Great Yarmouth. These were the only examples of these rides that I ever saw. As they were all on the Suffolk and Norfolk coast, I'm inclined to point the finger and say these were probably made by JM Kiddie Rides. They certainly have a JM feel about them. Having said that, there's no sign of them ever having had any manfacturers' markings and JM usually did mark their rides. There's also a side to these rides that makes me think they may not be British at all. But I suppose they could come from a European mould and then have been made by one of the Norfolk-based companies in this country. Another interesting fixture is the carousel pole at the front of the saddle. Maybe the tiger toy was originally made to go on some kind of juvenile carousel? If anybody has further information, I would love to hear from you. Having been part of our sister channel Skylark24 since 2010, The History of Coin Operated Rides finally has its own YouTube channel!
