Project Overview
When this Ethiopia-based buyer first contacted us, his question was straightforward: “I don’t want to spend everything on one big ride. What combination actually works for a children’s park?”
That’s a question we hear often — and honestly, it’s the right one to ask. After 20+ years supplying amusement equipment across Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, we’ve seen too many first-time investors burn budget on one headline attraction while leaving the rest of the park thin on content. Families don’t stay for one ride. They stay when there’s enough variety to keep kids moving.
After several rounds of communication and an online showroom review, this customer finalized a 7-ride package totaling around US$100,000: electric bumper cars, windmill trampoline, Chicken Run track ride, Marine Guardian Train Ride, Swing ride, Platinum carousel, and Jumping ride.
How the Project Started
The customer first contacted us because he wanted several amusement rides suitable for children and family visitors.
Like many new amusement park investors, he was not only asking for prices. He wanted to know which rides were worth choosing, which products were popular in the current market, and how to combine different rides into a workable project plan.
During the communication, some products were requested by the customer himself. For other ride types, we recommended suitable options based on children’s play habits, operation frequency, visual appeal and budget control.
Instead of pushing a single expensive ride, we focused on building a balanced kiddie rides package. The customer could clearly see what each ride would bring to the project and how the whole amusement area could work together.
Customer Visit and Trust Building
The customer reviewed our product showroom and factory workshop before moving forward with the order.
For overseas buyers, price is important, but trust is often more important. Before confirming the final ride package, the customer looked at our product showroom videos, factory workshop photos and real equipment details. These materials helped him understand that the rides were not only pictures in a catalog, but real amusement equipment with production, assembly and delivery support behind them.
Through the showroom and workshop materials, the customer could see different product styles, ride structures, production process and actual equipment scale. This gave him more confidence in our manufacturing ability and project service.
After further communication, the customer recognized our product selection ability and was satisfied with the overall equipment proposal.
Selected Kiddie Rides Package
The final package was designed as a mixed children’s amusement ride solution, not a random product list.
Each ride has a different function in the park. Some rides are used to attract children at first sight, some are suitable for parent-child experience, and some can improve visitor participation and repeat play.
Electric Bumper Cars
They are popular because children and teenagers can control the cars by themselves, while parents can easily understand the play experience.

Net weight: 190KG
Battery power: 48V/45A

LED Lighted Bungee Trampoline
The Mobile Bungee Trampoline was included to add active play and movement to the park.
Children like jumping, climbing and moving, so trampoline equipment can help make the amusement area feel more energetic. It also gives the project a different type of attraction beyond mechanical rides.
Area: 1.8 × 2.4 meters
Height: 4.2 meters
Chicken Run Ride
Its cartoon appearance, gentle movement and clear route make it suitable for kids who prefer safe and easy riding experiences. This type of ride also helps the park add a small themed attraction without the high cost and space requirement of a large roller coaster.

Height：1.7m
Vehicles：6 Chicken Passenger
Capacity：12P
Power Supply：13KW /380V
Animal Design Trackless Kids Train
Mini kiddie train rides are easy to accept in children’s parks because they are not too intense, and they can serve both kids and family visitors. The marine theme also makes the ride more attractive in photos and helps create a more complete amusement atmosphere.

carriages
Maximum Speed: 7 km/h
Minimum Turning Radius: Max 2.5m

Cat Swing Ride
The Cat Happy Swing Ride was added to bring gentle excitement to the ride mix.
Compared with very calm rides, a swing ride gives children a stronger feeling of movement. It is a good middle option between classic kiddie rides and more exciting amusement rides.

Power: 6KW
Dimensions: 8m long*7m wide
(including fence) (maximum top size
8.5m)

Platinum Carousel
The 16-seat carousel ride was selected as a classic visual attraction.
A carousel is still one of the most recognizable children’s amusement rides. It is suitable for younger children, parent-child visitors and photo scenes. In a small amusement park, a beautiful carousel can also improve the overall look of the project.
Equipment Voltage: AC380V
Equipment Power: 3KW
Guardrail Size: φ7m
Passenger Capacity: 16 people
External Dimensions: φ5.3m*6.5m
Time Jump Amusement Ride

It is more active than a carousel or mini train, but still belongs to the family-friendly kiddie ride category. This helps the customer create a better balance between gentle rides and more dynamic rides.
Capacity：16 persons
Voltage：AC380V, 3-phase, 50Hz
Power：11KW
Fence Size：φ10m (included)
Diameter : 10m × Height 5.8m
Why This Kiddie Ride Combination Made Sense
This package was built around one simple idea: let the customer create a complete children’s amusement area without overspending on one single attraction.
The package includes driving, jumping, riding, swinging, and themed track experiences. This makes the park more interesting for children and gives families more reasons to stay longer.
For the customer, this combination also made the investment easier to control. Instead of spending most of the budget on one large ride, the project could have multiple attractions, more ticket opportunities and a richer visitor experience.
That is why this type of high ROI kiddie amusement rides package is popular among investors who want to start a small amusement park, family entertainment center or children’s amusement zone.
Layout Design and Customization Support
After the order is confirmed, our engineers can help the customer with equipment layout planning according to the actual site.
For amusement park projects, product selection is only the first step. The next step is to make sure every ride can be placed correctly, with enough visitor space, safe distance, entrance and exit areas, and reasonable walking flow.
If the customer provides site dimensions, drawings or photos, our engineering team can help make a suitable amusement park layout plan. We can also revise the drawings according to the customer’s requirements until the plan is more suitable for the final venue.
Customization can include product color, theme design, voltage configuration, logo placement and other details. This helps the equipment match the customer’s project style instead of looking like separate machines placed together.

Production, Delivery and Installation Plan
Once the drawings and product details are confirmed, the equipment will enter production according to the final order requirements.
During production, we will arrange manufacturing, assembly, inspection and packing based on export standards. Before delivery, we can provide production photos or videos so the customer can follow the progress.
After the equipment is shipped to Ethiopia, we can also arrange engineer installation support according to the project needs. For customers building a new amusement park, this is important because correct installation and commissioning can directly affect future operation.
Customer Feedback
After installation, the amusement park has officially opened and is now in operation. According to the customer, the rides have been well received by local families, with strong visitor numbers during the peak season.
The customer is very satisfied with the product quality, overall appearance and our project support. Based on the current operation, the customer expects to recover the investment in approximately six months. If the project continues to perform well, they also plan to expand the park and work with Carnee Rides again on the next phase.
