There's actually one of these cars in an amusement park in the US. I forget where exactly, but I remember seeing pics of it on one of the Japanese toy forums. At any rate, I would love one of these set up in my backyard, right next to the swing set!

Those are just beautiful. I could easily see one of them causing friction in my marriage if I ever came across it, because I would drag it home and place it in the garage where my wife parks.

I believe there is just enough space in my bedroom for that little item! :yeah:

Thanks Ed, it was that first pic that I've seen before. So it was a traveling carnival? Boy, if one of those rides ever shows up in my neck of the woods, I'll lose it. :smiley1:

I'm scraping my really young memories, but given that Goldrake was so popular in french language Canada (i used to watch it on the french station), ...Conklin's maybe? Specifically when the old Montreal expo site had a carnival? or maybe even Quebec City if there was any carnivals there?

There's one of the CollectionDX-pictured ones in Kiddyland in Kennywood Park, Pittsburgh, PA. It's the only one of the styles I've seen that don't look horrible.

Couple of pictures I took of it a few years ago. (I'm forced to go back every d4mn summer, and it was still there last year.)

There are several others of it scattered around the US.

For a while on eBay, there was a coin-op ride of Aflodai from Mazinger.

You know what, the coin op Mazinger is in a really dead mall around here.
