C&S DEVELOPS BUMPER CAR FOR PASSENGERS WITH LIMITED ABILITIES

BY GABRIELLE

In recent years, a number of companies in the amusement industry in Italy have been working on a project designed to make amusement rides enjoyable for people with limited abilities. The project is known as “una giostra per tutti,” loosely translated as “a carousel for everyone.”

C&S, a manufacturer and supplier of amusement park rides, has been involved in the project, developing an amusement park car designed for people with limited or no leg functionality.

The car features a removable side panel and a double throttle control at the steering wheel and foot pedal, to enable passengers with limited ability and able-bodied passengers to control the car. A selector allows either functions to be activated.

A plate on the steering wheel can be pressed at any point to set the car in motion, with either one hand or two. Along the track is a removable bench to enable wheelchair-users to move in and out of the cars with ease. The seatbelts are specifically designed to ensure maximum passenger safety and comfort.

For C&S, the modified cars to accommodate all passengers, marks the start of developing bumper cars that can be used by people with special needs.

BUMPER CAR TRACKS INSTALLED BY C AND S IN LIBYA AND MONGOLIA

C and S, an Italy-based manufacturer of bumper cars for adults and juniors, have installed two indoor bumper car tracks in Libya and Mongolia.

The tracks feature medium-sized bumper cars. The installation of the two tracks took place in July this year, one in the Mongolian capital city of Ulaanbaatar and the other in Lybia’s capital city of Tripoli.

The project saw C and S collaborate with the Mongolian construction development company, Camber LLC, which is involved in a number of urban development projects in Mongolia. Also involved in the project was a local plant nursery company, which exports exotic trees and plants to Europe.

Both tracks feature medium sized cars. As well as being able to ride on the bumper cars, visitors to the new sites can experience other attractions that complement the tracks, including trampolines and a large playground.
