File:2000s Coin Operated Digger Kiddie Ride - Bob The Builder Scoop

Description
Filmed at Wellington Pier, Great Yarmouth on April 7th 2017.

First shown in this country by Jolly Roger Amusement Rides at the ATEI in January 2000, Bob the Builder was a massive hit for the UK market. As Postman Pat started to fade out of favour, Bob the Builder replaced him. It seemed this ride could be seen outside almost every amusement arcade or supermarket for several years.

Sorry this video is so out of focus. As previously stated, I was having some problems working my HD camera at the time. Seem to have ironed them out now but a few of the Norfolk films were victims of the "blur plague" unfortunately! So it looks like I STILL need an HD film of Scoop! Oh well, at least the audio is clearer on this one than on the one I filmed at Cleveleys.

I am currently working on a website about coin operated rides, particularly those made (or at least commonly distributed) in the UK during the 1950s-90s.

If anybody has old photos/video footage that they wouldn't mind sharing with me, please e-mail me at coinoperatedrides@hotmail.com or leave a comment below. I would be eternally grateful. Thank you! :)
