OMG this is the coolest! I wish I had room for something like this in my house!

No I did not make a video when I made my post. I'm pretty sure my post is on the old Arena.

[Sarah-Bee]

I think I've seen it anways, i think I'm thinking of the video on Dream Valley's website

[windsong]

That. Is. So. Awesome.

[Galactica]

OMG you GOT HER-  I am seriously so so so impressed- and SO HAPPY that you nabbed her !  Thanks so much for sharing pix of her, it is SO AWESOME that you have her and the giant light up ponies! (I wanted those so bad, hehe)

[appleponygal]

Wow, you are totally gonna have to open your own MLP museum now!

[sweetstuff]

That is just amazing to own something like that (not to mention those light up ponies, I just died when I went to that post and saw the giant Sweet Stuff - what I wouldn't give to have her!).

Congrats

[Lyra]

Wow!! That's brilliant!

Also, I might show up at your house with a months worth of 20p coins

Can I please come and ride her Sarah?  She looks so cool though! I'm quite jealous of you right now hehe

[Lancer]

Congratulations, Sarah!  I'm so glad this went to a pony collector where it will be treasured.

I was wondering, what is the song it is playing? I do not recognize it...

The music is the MLP advert jingle that was used on some European commercials in the early 1990s.  You can hear a snippet of it on this Hair-Do/Rollerskating Ponies advert - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QrfM5JZ7fE  Different commercials for each set of ponies seem to have had a slightly different arrangement of the same tune. I've never seen the commercial for the Seven Character Ponies but I daresay the tune played by the ride is most similar to that since it was obviously based on the Pony Tales ponies.

I made a film of one of these rides at Watford, so maybe that's the film you saw Sarah?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R8SW-0xlw0  The pony was still there when I was in Watford just before Christmas last year but I don't know if it's there now.

Ha, this is so cute! The little song made me so happy. If I owned it I wouldn't be able to resist riding it all the time... or hiding it around a doorway and using it to scare company.

THis has happened

Lancer, that's great! and it is the video I saw

[Lightning Twirl]

Oh my gosh, you were the one who won that!? Huge congrats!!

Haha really?! Details!

For various reasons (mostly) not including laziness she's still in my hallway. You can't see her when you open the front door til you step inside so she's made a few people jump when they come in the house
