Skylark24! There was a time when I had a (very) brief interest in coin operated rides (how their varying designs worked, their manufacturers, choices/execution of certain IPs they bought, some people's [often unrealistic] ideas for them and whatnot), and that was one of the channels I came across. The owner (Desirée) opened her own Weebly site called "The History of Coin Operated Rides" but left it unfinished, though there's also an active Facebook account.
Regarding individuals buying such rides (even licensed ones) for non public use: there are rare cases where it literally happens. Amber the Fangirl owns four of them (a Bear in the Big Blue House boat, an R.G. Mitchell "Hank" van and, more recently, Little Red Tractor and Fetch the Vet).
