Cadillac Armbrecht Tacke: fun behind the wheel
Cadillac Armbrecht Tacke is a classic bumper car ride where you take the wheel yourself. The cars move independently across the track. This creates new situations all the time: you can take a wide turn, avoid others or share a ride with friends. The ride is for visitors who want to get involved rather than wait for a fixed, pre-programmed ride. In the evening, the lighting and music create the classic bumper car atmosphere. The music programme can, of course, vary from event to event. It is also important to know the operator of a Cadillac bumper car ride, as there are several attractions with similar names. The ride described here is operated by Armbrecht & Tacke and should not be confused with other Armbrecht bumper car rides.
Dimensions and practical information
Ride-Index lists Cadillac's external dimensions as 32 by 16 metres. The actual track is listed as 24 by 12 metres. This distinction matters: not all of the space taken up by the ride is available for driving. No reliably verified figures are available for the power connection or hourly capacity. The number of cars may also vary. If you want to visit the ride at a funfair, check the current tour schedule and the line-up of rides for that year. The official operator website is a good place to start. You can find technical details on Ride-Index and more attractions in our attractions overview.

History of the Cadillac bumper cars
Ride-Index lists the ride as a Landwermann/Adesco two-pillar bumper car ride from 1997. It first travelled with Hans-Josef Schoeneseifen from Cologne. Robert Tacke from Minden is documented as the operator from 2013 to 2015. Today, Armbrecht & Tacke operate the ride. The operator family also presents Cadillac on its own official website. This is helpful because it allows you to verify the identity of the bumper car ride independently of mere funfair listings. For the current equipment, the database lists Bertazzon New York cars from 2022. However, this does not provide a precise number of cars in use today or a complete history of modifications. Therefore, no such figures are added.
Timeline
Bertazzon New York cars have been documented since 2022. Previous operators were Schoeneseifen and Robert Tacke.

Who is Cadillac Armbrecht Tacke suitable for?
Bumper cars are classic funfair attractions for groups of friends and families. You can decide for yourself how to use the track, as long as you follow the staff's instructions. Whether children are allowed to ride alone depends on the rules in place at the attraction. The sources checked do not reliably state a minimum age or height. Prices and ride duration may also vary from one event to another. If you are visiting with younger children, check whether an accompanying adult is needed before buying ride tokens. For a relaxed first ride, it can be helpful to watch how it works from the sidelines first.
