Ah, kiddie rides. Those things that practically suck the spare change out of your pockets (particularly if you're a parent) and are largely found in or near shopping malls. The things that attract little kids (and [[Periphery Demographic]] crowds like bored or drunken teenagers) like magnets.
 
Line 8:
If a TV show targeted at children gets too famous, it's bound to spawn at least one kiddie ride. If it has an [[Ear Worm]] theme tune, the ride will play it every five minutes to attract attention.
 
'''Note:''' This index is a list of shows and franchises that have been immortalized by having their characters licensed for being made into a kiddie ride. It does ''not'' involve shows that featured a kiddie ride in their plots, those belongs in another trope.

Word of warning: The Japanese are very fond of kiddie rides. Expect to see quite a number of them, especially in [[Misaimed Marketing]] territory.

It could be [[Fridge Brilliance]] (do ducks even have ''[[Unusual Euphemism|manhoods]]''?) or it could be a successful case of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] of an unfortunate [[Cloudcuckoolander]] rep that Disney sent to meet with the designers. The world will never know. [[Please No Natter|And we'll leave it at that.]]
** Also from the maker of said Donald Duck ride: Donald not spicy enough for you? How about getting laid by [[Marsupilami]] [http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3462/3376244737_0a34cc48dc.jpg instead]?
