29yrswithaGApass Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 This ride looked great at night. Not only did it have a ton of miniature lights but it also had florescent tubes inside the ride's columns that lit up the entire structure.

Yoshi Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I never knew there were 2 sets of bumper cars at the park. I think it's a great idea of the crowds warranted it just like having 2 flumes. It's too bad the park went from having 2 bumper car rides to none, which I hope changes next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankees99 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Probably rode "Traffic Jam" a few more times than "Fender Bender/Skooter." I always made sure to ride each of them at least once every summer. There was just something about where the Fender Bender was located that made it a favorite ride of mine. So many lights, like you pointed out. Damn, I miss the original park!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted July 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Here's a rare view of the Skooters (later renamed Fender Benders). When it was at the park, this ride was much larger than the Traffic Jam ride near the Big Wheel. It usually had a much shorter line than Traffic Jam.

29yrswithaGApass Posted February 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Here are two vintage images of the Skooter bumper cars from June 1975 shortly after the Fun Fair section of the park opened. The ride sure had an assortment of different style cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
