ICE South Beach KC Cobra and KC Cobra

A gel coat fiberglass car body on a swimming motion base. Working head and tail lamps. Real chrome accents.

Overview

The ICE South Beach KC Cobra is a kiddie ride built on a swimming motion base, finished in a bright blue gel coat fiberglass body with real chrome accents and working head and tail lamps. It ships in the classic KC Cobra form in the South Beach blue colorway, giving operators a visually distinct alternative to the standard unit. The ride includes a built-in ticket dispenser and is DBV-ready with MEI bill acceptor compatibility for street route deployment.

Key Features

Swimming Motion Base

The seat platform moves through a continuous swimming motion during play, producing a side-to-side rocking sensation that mimics vehicle movement. The motion is visible from outside the ride, making the occupied unit active and noticeable on the floor.

Gel Coat Fiberglass Body

The car body is formed from gel coat fiberglass, which holds color across high-contact commercial use and resists the scuffing and fading common on painted plastic shells. The South Beach blue finish is part of the molded surface, not a wrap or decal layer.

Real Chrome Accents

Chrome trim pieces are fitted to the exterior of the car body rather than chrome-effect plastic or printed graphics. These read as metallic from a distance and contribute to the vehicle's realistic appearance at floor level.

Working Head and Tail Lamps

Functional lighting elements are built into both the front and rear of the car body. The lamps illuminate during operation, reinforcing the vehicle aesthetic and adding a lit accent point visible from multiple approach angles on the floor.

Lighted Dash Panel

The interior dashboard features an illuminated panel visible to the rider during play. Combined with the working exterior lamps and chrome trim, the lit interior reinforces the driver-seat experience for young riders.

How It Plays

The young rider steers through a town course collecting coins, jumping obstacles, and grabbing gas cans for speed boosts — the ticket payout scales with the number of coins collected during the run. The swimming motion base rocks the car body throughout the play cycle, so the ride reads as active from the surrounding floor even between button inputs. Bystanders can see the exterior lamps lit, the body moving, and the dashboard illuminated through the open car design.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

Flexible Payment Configuration

DBV-ready construction with MEI bill acceptor compatibility means the unit can be configured for coin-only, bill, or combined payment depending on the deployment environment — covering both venue and street route placements from the same hardware.

300 lb Rider Capacity

The rated maximum rider weight of 300 lbs is higher than many kiddie-class rides, reducing operator liability around weight restrictions and allowing a wider range of young riders to use the unit without requiring staff intervention.

Durable Fiberglass Shell

Gel coat fiberglass holds up to repeated contact from riders and bystanders without the surface cracking or color degrading the way painted plastic panels can. This reduces cosmetic refurbishment frequency in high-cycle commercial environments.
