ICE Kids Kraft Cobra

A 1960s speedboat shell. A swaying motion base. A 19-inch screen mounted where the dashboard meets the bow.

Overview

The ICE Kids Kraft Cobra by Sting International and ICE combines a classic kiddie ride with a built-in redemption video game in a single retro speedboat cabinet. The fiberglass shell replicates a 1960s-era speedboat — complete with rope hooks, chrome accents, working head and tail lamps, and a lighted dash panel — while the motion base delivers a gentle side-to-side sway throughout play. Operators can configure the game for ticket redemption or points-only play, giving the unit flexibility across venue types.

Key Features

Retro Speedboat Fiberglass Shell

The exterior is molded fiberglass styled after a 1960s speedboat, with detail elements including rope hooks, real chrome accents, a lighted dash panel with realistic gauges, and working head and tail lamps. The bench seating accommodates a young rider in a position that faces the screen at dashboard height.

Motion Base with Gentle Sway

The quality motion base produces a continuous swaying motion calibrated for young riders — the same physical movement found on standard kiddie rides, but sustained throughout the video game session. The boat moves on its own; no foot pedal input is required from the rider.

Integrated Video Game on a 19-Inch LCD

A 4:3 format 19-inch LCD screen is built into the cabinet and displays the onboard game. The single-control interface uses one steering wheel — no buttons, no foot pedals — keeping the input within reach and comprehension of young children.

Configurable Ticket or Points Payout

An optional ticket dispenser can be added for redemption play. Operators set the unit for either ticket awards or points-only scoring at their discretion. The cabinet ships with a coin acceptor and is DBA (dollar bill acceptor) ready for cashless or multi-denomination payment integration.

Vintage Audio Package

The sound system plays vintage 1960s-style music that matches the speedboat theme throughout the ride cycle, reinforcing the visual theme for both the rider and nearby observers.

How It Plays

The rider turns the steering wheel to guide a virtual water skier around a course scattered with starfish, steering toward ramps and hidden bonuses to collect more. The boat moves continuously on its motion base, so the physical sway tracks with on-screen turns, giving bystanders a view of a rocking speedboat and an animated course simultaneously. Collected starfish convert to tickets or points depending on operator configuration.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

Single-Wheel Control Eliminates Rider Confusion

The entire game input is one steering wheel — no foot pedals, no button combinations. Young riders can engage immediately without staff intervention, which reduces the service calls typical of more complex kiddie ride configurations.

DBA-Ready Coin Door for Flexible Payment Setup

The cabinet ships with a coin acceptor already installed and a DBA-ready door, so operators can add a dollar bill acceptor without retrofitting the coin door assembly. This keeps the unit compatible with both token-based and cashless-currency venue configurations.

Ticket or Points-Only — Operator-Selectable at Setup

The payout mode is set by the operator: add a ticket dispenser for redemption venues, or run points-only for locations that don't carry redemption inventory. The same hardware supports both configurations — no separate SKUs or kits required.

77-Inch Footprint Fits Standard Kiddie Ride Floor Slots

At 77 in L x 42 in W, the Cobra occupies the same floor space as a conventional single-rider kiddie ride, making it a direct swap-in for existing kiddie ride zones without floor plan redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Kids Kraft Cobra dispense tickets?

Ticket dispensing is optional. The unit supports an add-on ticket dispenser for redemption play, or it can be configured for points-only scoring. The operator selects the mode at setup based on the venue's redemption program.

What payment hardware does the Kids Kraft Cobra include?

The cabinet ships with a coin acceptor installed. The coin door is DBA ready, allowing operators to add a dollar bill acceptor for venues that accept paper currency or use debit-based game cards.

What are the assembled dimensions of the Kids Kraft Cobra?

The assembled footprint is 77 in L x 42 in W x 49 in H. That length and width match the floor space of a standard single-rider kiddie ride, making placement straightforward in existing kiddie zone layouts.

How old does a child need to be to ride?

The Kids Kraft Cobra is designed as a kiddie ride for young children, with bench seating, a gentle swaying motion base, and a single steering wheel as the only input. It is built for the same age range as conventional coin-op kiddie rides.

Ideal Placement

The Kids Kraft Cobra fits naturally in family entertainment centers, pizza restaurants, bowling center arcades, trampoline parks, and hotel game rooms where dedicated kiddie ride zones are already part of the floor plan. Its 77-inch length matches the standard footprint of single-rider kiddie ride installations, and the 49-inch height stays within the low-ceiling clearances common in kiddie ride bays. Route operators placing in strip malls, family dining, or soft-play facilities will find the self-contained coin door and optional ticket output compatible with a wide range of location formats.
