What is a kiddie ride error? A kiddie ride error may refer to a mistake that can be found on a ride. Many of these error can range from rides having the wrong decals and/or color scheme (e.g. a Jolly Roger Jollytown Tow Truck having the wrong color scheme, or a UK Jolly Roger Scoop having German decals), to rides even having the incorrect sound chip (e.g. a Northern Leisure Waverider playing some ‘roundabout’ song instead of its original audio). In some instances, errors can also refer to when certain kiddie rides are somewhat a little broken or mute.
A lot of errors on some units of kiddie rides have been spotted. Here's a full list of some.
