Francis' Ladybug Boogie
Above: Francis may be a bug, but he's no lady:
the entrance to Francis' Ladybug Boogie. Below: The cars on Francis'
Ladybug Boogie travel in a figure-8 pattern, moving between two rotating
platforms as they twirl.
Below: The ride units are not tea cups; the
center column is for holding onto, not spinning.
Below: Riders must lean to make the
cars spin faster.
Below: In a nice touch, all the attraction
signs provide access information. The queues are also completely wheelchair
accessible.
Tuck & Roll's Drive 'Em Buggies
Do not confuse these "buggies" with
bumper cars - these move at half the speed they were designed to go,
so even a head-on collision feels like a minor jostle.
Above: Tuck and Roll "speak" as
you drive around the attraction floor. They sound like frustrated drivers
on the L.A. freeways.
Above: The exit gate is a large belt buckle.
Below: The entire ride is housed under a giant umbrella strung with
Christmas tree lights and assorted decorations, such as crayons and
cotton swabs.
