Simulator Ride Hire in the South West

Funtasia Entertainment offers simulator ride hire across the South West: a mechanical rodeo bull, rodeo football, a festive rodeo reindeer and Christmas pudding, surf and snowboard simulators, and twin race car simulators. Rides start from £350, and every bucking ride comes with its own operator, a soft inflatable safety bed and delivery, set-up and collection by our team from Yeovil, Somerset.

Simulator rides draw a crowd like nothing else: one person rides, everyone else watches, cheers and queues for a go. They work for company fun days, Christmas parties, fetes, weddings, student events and shopping centre promotions.

Rodeo Bull Hire

The Rodeo Bull (from £395) is the classic. Riders try to stay on as the bull bucks and spins, with a soft inflatable bed for when they fall. Our operator adjusts the speed and movement for each rider, from gentle for first-timers to fast for anyone who fancies their chances, so it suits mixed groups. Run a timed leaderboard and give a prize to the longest ride of the day.

For a theme, swap the bull for the Rodeo Football (from £400) at a football party or club awards night. See also our Western party hire.

Christmas Rodeo Rides

For December, our Rodeo Reindeer (from £400) and Rodeo Christmas Pudding (from £400) work just like the bull but fit a festive theme. They're a favourite at company Christmas parties, winter balls and shopping centre Christmas events. See our Christmas party entertainment.

Surf and Snowboard Simulators

The Surf Simulator (from £350) twists and tilts like a wave, testing balance and stamina, and suits beach parties, summer fun days and Hawaiian themes. The Snowboard Simulator (from £350) gives a winter twist for après-ski nights and Christmas events. Both have an inflatable bed and an operator who sets the difficulty for each rider.

Race Car and Virtual Reality Simulators

For something less physical, our Twin Race Car Simulator (from £400) has adjustable bucket seats, force-feedback steering wheels, pedals and HD screens, and two drivers can race head to head. It's ideal for corporate events and exhibitions, and we can add your company logo. Twin Virtual Reality (from £295) puts two players in VR headsets while everyone else watches on a big screen. See all our electronic games.
