Love, love, love this ride! I followed the ride around South Florida back in the early 90s. I would ask the ride owner where he was going next and would follow him. I eventually missed him and didn't know where he was going next! Haven't seen him since. My now-husband and I were definitely NOT meatballs!! I rode it with several of my friends but only my husband and I were able to get back together EVERY time. We hated when the ride had to stop to let the "meatballs" get back together before starting again. I look for that ride at every small carnival but have never seen it.
Hey Duncans108 - we must have been riding Kick Boodie at the same carnivals!! I rode it in the early 90s and was definitely addicted! My now-husband and I were definitely NOT meatballs! We hooked up every time. I used to ask the owner, I can't remember his name, where he would be the following weekend and would go whereever he was. I remember going to Miami a couple times but then I lost track of him because I couldn't make it one weekend. I haven't seen him since. The last time we talked he mentioned having to modify the seat because a girl got her finger crushed. I guess it was pretty dangerous but it was the best ride ever created! I look for that ride at every small carnival, even today.
