History Main / TheKiddieRide

If a TV show targeted at children gets too famous, it's bound to spawn at least one kiddie ride.

* Classic {{Disney}} characters- Perhaps most infamously, [[http://www.imagepoop.com/image/741/Perverted-Donald-Duck-Kiddie-Ride.html this]] one ride which got people wondering what Disney was thinking when they approved the design. It could be FridgeBrilliance (do ducks even have ''[[UnusualEuphemism manhoods]]''?) or it could be a successful case of GettingCrapPastTheRadar of an unfortunate CloudCuckoolander rep that Disney sent to meet with the designers. The world will never know.

* SpotTheDog - Did not sell do well in arcades and malls in the United Kingdom due to the design, but apparently did well enough in Australia to warrant a rumored second design.

'''Note:''' This index is a list of shows and franchises that have been immortalized by having their characters licensed for being made into a kiddie ride, it does not involve shows that featured a kiddie ride in their plots.

* WinnieThePooh

* ThomasTheTankEngine

Ah, KiddieRides. Those things that practically suck the spare change out of your pockets (particularly if you're a parent) and are largely found in malls. The things that attract little kids (and PeripheryDemographic crowds like bored or drunk teenagers) like magnets.

* TheRealGhostbusters - Now you can drive Ecto-1!

Originally introduced as a portable alternative of the carousel, these have since crossed into MerchandiseDriven (and occasionally, MisaimedMarketing) subtrope territory with the introduction of the licensed kiddie ride. Now kids will be able to rent up to one and a half minutes of their favorite characters' time for a dollar or two.
