KidSteam Brings Back a Piece of American Amusement History for Children During the Holidays and Makes the Cover of the Hammacher Schlemmer Gift Catalog

Dallas, TX, November 04, 2008 --(PR.com)-- KidSteam® brings back a piece of American amusement history for use in your backyard. These kid-powered rides were beloved by an estimated 40-60 million American children while operating at amusement parks across America from the 1940’s through the 1960’s. The rides used no electricity just kid-powered-hand-cranked and move around a train track making the familiar click clack noise of a train. The ride was the highlight of a visit to the amusement park for generations of children many of whom are now parents and grand parents themselves. The ride has created so many enduring memories over the years and KidSteam® looks forward to creating new memories with today’s children with the help of Hammacher Schlemmer.

Harkening back to a simpler time before electronic games and motorized amusement rides there was the kid-powered ride at the local fair, carnival and amusement park. “Many people come up to me and say “I have wonderful memories riding these hand crank cars with my brother, sister or friends”. I can see folks remembering the good times as they gaze at our product. Some folks come to our promotional events with pictures of themselves riding the cars from the 1950’s”. I have never been associated with a product that brings back so many wonderful memories for people” said John Hampton Managing Director of KidSteam®.

Today’s families are concerned about product safety, the environmental impact of products, and the over use of video games. KidSteam® believes that parents and grand-parents today will embrace a product that results in wholesome family fun that is safe, environmentally friendly and healthy.
