Kid's World (Carwardine Parks)

TV advertisement jingle
For 1990, the original jingle was used, though for 1991-2000 a new jingle was created by Dan Sawyer:
 * KID'S WORLD! It's all fun & games! KID'S WORLD! Where else could ya play?
 * K-I-D-S W-O-R-L-D! KID'S WORLD!
 * KID'S WORLD! It's all fun & games! KID'S WORLD! Where else could ya play?
 * KID'S WORLD! It's Kid's World, come on!

After a brief period of not using a jingle, the original jingle of the old Kid's World was rewritten and rearranged by Greg Everett for the 2003 season, and has been used ever since:
 * At Kid's World, fun surrounds you. It's happening all around you.
 * It's fun that makes the magic moments, every face tells a story!
 * Big dizzy spins, jumpin' up and jumpin' in,
 * Riding down, climbing high, it all begins!
 * At the neatest kids place you've ever seen...
 * Share the moment at... Kid's World!
 * It's a great big world at... Kid's World!
