Train ride

A train ride in an amusement park, or a municipal park setting, is an attraction consisting of a miniature train, often running on a permanent or portable track, but sometimes without any track whatsoever. In the latter case, the "trains" are simulated by connecting railroad-like cars behind an ordinary, or modified motor vehicle. This type of ride is often conducted as a sightseeing tour of the surroundings.

If the ride is on tracks, and especially if the service is provided by a non-commercial hobbyist club, or a private backyard railroad, the train can be an exact scale model, often with a live steam locomotive.

Commercial "kiddie rides" often use simple but colorful equipment, with the driving mechanism hidden under vacuum-molded plastic covers.

Some train rides resemble roller coasters, and may not be available to children under a certain age or a minimum height.
