London's Fastest Dodgems is a Dodgems track previously located at Funland in Picadilly Circus, London, England, UK.

About

The attraction opened in the "Carnival" floor of SegaWorld London during the venue's last year of existence in 1999, being one of two new additions for the venue that year, the other being a bar situated on the fourth floor. This attraction was added to replace Mad Bazooka and to rival other venues that had similar attractions like Namco Station in London. The attraction's name implied that the Dodgems were the "Fastest" in London.

After Sega exited the SegaWorld venture and Family Leisure took over the space to form "The New Funland", the Dodgems made it over to the expanded and rebranded venue, co-existing with the existing Dodgems track that Funland already had on its first floor. It is likely that the name didn't make it over and that the attraction was simply named "Dodgems".

As with the other attractions situated on the upper floors of Funland, the Dodgems set was removed at the end of 2002 once planning permission was granted to downsize the venue. The whereabouts of this Dodgems set are currently unknown.
