Drayton Manor ?? Alton Towers ?? Going back to holidays with my parents , I recall most seaside resorts having them. 8)
Sorry this isn't the West Midlands, nor the UK, but this thread has reminded me of a holiday I took in Rhodes (Greece) in 2017.
I stayed in the coastal town of Ialysos, which had a 'road train' running around the town. I took a ride on it one afternoon, was very pleasant!
Guess where I could be today.
