By a strange coincidence, a coworker forwarded this article to me this morning covering the same subject. It has more information on the amusement park ride registration system.

Hi Gary, I can only speak of requirements in the United States. I believe these fall under the requirements for amusement park rides. ASTM F24 has the standards, with subcommittee F24.60 possibly handling these types of rides.

Inspection regimes can vary significantly from location to location. There was an infamous amusement park in New Jersey named Action Park that was involved in so much litigation that it got the nickname "Class Action Park".

Hi All, Kind of off-the wall question, but would you know who regulates road trains? These are wheeled vehicles with one typically battery powered engine in the front pulling several passenger coaches behind. These slow vehicles typically operate in controlled environments such as zoos, amusement parks and resorts to get people short distances. Not for public roads as far as I can tell. See an example here: https://www.tdiproductionsolutions.com/portfolio/delga/<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tdiproductionsolutions.com%2Fportfolio%2Fdelga%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cted.eckert%40microsoft.com%7C93469490ed414eb7c55b08da709c3da3%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C0%7C0%7C637946113604451989%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=NqS%2Bue%2BoBIvVTz5FvkKBWZomBsm6t0P%2FaHX9p2cIsKY%3D&reserved=0> So would they fall under the Department of Transportation?
