A few days ago I spotted four "Falgas KYT" cars in an amusement park in Austria ("Wurstelprater"), gathering dust and probably waiting for better times.

Here is the first one:

And in the back you can see the other three cars:

There's just not a whole lot of call for these relics from the past. Not fully sure as to why. It's not like the intended age group wouldn't be just as entertained now as they were, back then. Electricity needs vs profits, perhaps? Or, more likely cost of repair/purchase over profit.
