Classic Storefront Rocket Ride

This is the classic rocket ride encountered in front of supermarkets during the 1960s, recalling a time when a single nickel and imagination was the only requirement a child needed.

An authentic unit has been refurbished to its original state, including the details of its tapered nose cone, bulbous body and symbols suggestive of space travel.

Made of sturdy fiberglass, the rocket ride uses an electric motor to provide the same one-minute "traveling" motion that it provided nearly half a century ago, including gentle rising, diving and banking left and right; the speed of motion is controlled by turning the handlebars.

A built-in sound system produces rocket sound effects including take-off procedures, countdown, lift-off and flight.

Resting on a platform of polished aluminum diamond plate — the classic metal flooring for carnival arcade rides — the ride rolls smoothly on four casters.

The coin box takes dimes; coins are easily retrieved.

6-1/2 feet high x 5 feet long x 2-1/2 feet wide.

Plugs into AC.
