2000s RG Mitchell Coin Operated Ice Cream Van Kiddie Ride - Hank's Ice Cream Van

Filmed at The Pier Bandstand Amusements, Weymouth on May 22nd 2019.

RG Mitchell released "Hank's Ice Cream Van" in 2001. This van had the an ice cream display panel with seven push buttons. It would appear this was an upgraded version of "Mr Softy's Ice Cream Van" (which only had six push buttons on its interactive panel)...but both Mr Softy's and Hank's versions were available alongside one another in 2001.

This is my third time filming this ride. Alas, the rolling road and interactive panel didn't work on this model. So I still need to find a better example to film!
