Flying Saucer
Bumper cars or dodgems are the generic names for a type of fairground amusement activity, which consisting of small very low speed toy cars, which which draw electrical power from the floor and/or ceiling. Bumper cars were not, originally, intended to be bumped, hence the original name "Dodgem." but in practice this was universally ignored. They are also known as bumping cars, dodging cars and dashing cars. The first patent for bumper cars was filed in 1921
