Fiery Dodgems, Tales Of Misadventures

Just a short one this time about a fiery dodgems ride. For a number of years we provided attractions to a college near Nottingham. The guy in charge Michael was really laid back and grew to be a good friend.

 

Anyway over time they kept expanding the campus at this college, so we went from attending with 5 or 6 large rides to eventually there was only room for the dodgems.

 

At last even that space was cut down, Michael told me he had lost about a third of the empty space and could I find him a dodgems to fit what was left. None of ours was suitable, but I managed to find another operator with a specially cut down version.

 

The Joys Of Using Someone New

 

Now I had never used this ride before, but to be honest it was all I could find to fit so I explained this to Michael and he was happy to go ahead.

 

The ride wasn't the best visually when it turned up, but the safety checks were all present and correct, and it had received its annual inspection not long before.

 

The first half of the day went off without a hitch. We had games units there and catering so everyone was having a good time.

 

Riding A Dodgem When Your Are Blindfolded

 

Michael came up to me after lunch with a hand full of facemasks. He explained that the dodgems had actually been sponsored by a school for the visually impaired and that a number of students from the school had came to take a ride on them. www.candyflosscrazy.com/blog/?p=1078
