Talk:Kiddie ride

All aboard!
Yes, came across this article and, on reading it, decided to give it a bit of a brush-up in terms of readability and grammar. I intend to copyedit for grammar, syntax and clarity and, having just done the section on music, will also remove some of the more WP:OR statements as I have done there. I think that the Ride pricing section should go entirely, as this appears to be unverifiable, or should be backed up with sources. Anyone care to take a look and find some sources for this article?

Come on sources!
Right, I am fed up editing this article with *%¨@ grammar, spurious claims and a lot of horseshit original research, I have deleted the whole section on pricing which you can find below:


 * ==Ride pricing==

In the United States, the standard price for rides is $0.25. The coin mechanism, however, can be changed to accept tokens or other currency. At all Meijer grocery stores the horse rides by the check-out lanes only cost 1¢.

In the United Kingdom, most rides costs 50p a ride. Paying £1 on machines that support it would usually give the buyer 3 rides.

In Malaysia, ride pricing varies widely. In some grocery stores, rides go for as low as RM0.20 a play. In many grocery stores, small supermarkets and low traffic malls, it's usually RM0.50 a go if it's a base ride or RM1 a go if it's a carousel ride. At high traffic malls, large supermarkets and hypermarkets, a base ride usually costs RM1 a go while carousel rides costs RM2 a go. Many rides at high-traffic malls have a note acceptor as well for convenience. Sometimes it is normal to find a base ride in an area of the mall costing RM1 a go, while in another area in the mall another base ride costs only RM0.50 a go. Rides at amusement centers and some supermarkets run on tokens costing between RM0.50 to RM1 apiece, taking one to four tokens a play depending on the setting and cost of the tokens. One local supermarket chain called Giant, however, offers free kiddie rides at most of their outlets. The rides on the chains' premises all have their coin mechanism replaced with pushbutton switches that start the ride when pushed.

In Singapore where kiddie rides can be found in abundance outside shops in most areas, the rides usually cost S$0.20-S$0.50 a go, while rides at shopping malls can cost up to S$1 a go for base rides and S$2 a go for carousel rides.

If you would like to go source this, please reinsert it!  Captain Screebo Parley! 11:45, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Added history
The Atlantic just recently published a rather interesting piece on Kiddie Rides with several citations. I've went ahead and tried to add a history section based on the information from the article. RAM (talk) 18:04, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
