A dodgems ride, also known as bumper cars, typically occupies a space of around 30 to 50 feet in diameter, depending on the design and size of the venue. The ride consists of a circular or rectangular arena where electric-powered cars move around and collide with each other. The overall footprint can vary significantly based on the number of cars and additional features like barriers or seating for spectators. In amusement parks, these rides are designed to accommodate both safety and a fun, engaging experience.
