The ride plays the Postman Pat theme during motion. The sound playing during attract is the horn going "Honk Honk" then the van drives away. (in this case you insert the coin near Pat) It has an yellow seat for a child to sit in and the coin slot is placed inside the ride. The speaker is placed on top of Jess' head. It has Pat driving the van with Jess the Cat sitting in the back. Postman Pat still remains the benchmark too, judging by the comments we receive from our customers. However, there was no stopping the momentum it had gathered Postman Pat became the benchmark and catalyst for the themed ride industry, and since its launch almost every popular children's character has been turned into a ride. The remarkable sales of the Postman Pat ride, which ran into thousands of units, clearly upset some manufacturers, some of whom appeared to go to great lengths to disrupt sales. Their cries had a note of shrillness however, as if for the first time they were aware of the limitations of some of their own products. OMC were new entrants into the children's ride market, and many non-licensed ride partisans looked down their noses at the new Postman Pat ride, saying it was either under-engineered, over-engineered, over-priced, over-rated, wouldn’t last, and asked who would buy it anyway. The ride continued to be enhanced, ironing out the niggling (but justified) feedback from customers. Both Woodland Animations and OMC Electronics were delighted with the results. 1992 saw the sale of some 450 Postman Pat rides. And by the spring of 1992 they were being shipped in volume. ![]() The first five Postman Pat children's rides from OMC Electronics, were sold in December 1991. The next improvement to be made to the design was to enlarge the cash box so that it wouldn't get overfilled so quickly. Improvements were made to the design and the ride was trialled again. However, OMC Electronics were in financial trouble and decided to give it one last try in a bid to save the company. It was disappointingly unsuccessful and the idea was almost scrapped all together. Designed by 3 people, the first prototype was made in 1991 and sited at a children's play centre in Gloucester.
