Bounty children's swing
Pirate ship swing ride by Berthold Bossle
Operator: Berthold Bossle
The Bounty children's swing ride takes young funfair visitors on a pirate adventure. This ride by Berthold Bossle combines the image of a ship with a swinging motion, designed especially for children. Rather than elaborate loops or great heights, it offers a manageable adventure.
Bounty is one of the children's attractions that stand out at fairs with a clear theme: climb aboard, take a seat and experience the ship's motion. Kirmes Moers lists the ride specifically under operator Berthold Bossle.

Bounty children's swing ride: manufacturer and features
The Bossle showman business from Dinslaken operates Bounty. The Ride-Index ride database attributes the ride to the Italian manufacturer SBF Visa and lists it as a pirate ship. “Piratenschiff” is also recorded as its former name.
Bounty is a classic example of children's entertainment: an easy-to-understand theme turns the ride's motion into a little adventure. The ride's appearance and story matter more than technical records.
What it's like to ride the Bounty children's swing ride
The ride centres on the ship's motion. As the swing moves back and forth, the view of the fairground changes with each movement. It gives you a little feeling of being at sea, without the need for a fast, large-scale ride.
The pirate theme makes it clear what to expect even before you board. Children can get a good look at the ride from the ground and see how it moves. This is especially helpful the first time: unlike an ordinary roundabout ride, it doesn't travel in a circle but swings back and forth.

Bounty was announced for Kirmes Moers, among other events, in 2026. A children's swing ride with this name also appears in the official plan for Soest Allerheiligenkirmes 2026. This makes the pirate ship one of the family-friendly attractions that complement the larger rides.
With its simple, instantly recognisable idea, Bounty fits in well with a funfair visit with younger children.

Who is Bounty suitable for?
The swing ride is aimed at younger visitors who enjoy a little movement but aren't ready for big swinging rides yet. How well the ride suits a child depends on how they feel about it. More cautious children can watch the movement from the side first.
Check the current age and height rules directly with the operator. If you're visiting the funfair with several children, it's worth looking at the other children's rides to find something suitable for each age.
