Notes: According to Walibi Rhône-Alpes, the Coccinelle des Andes and two other flat rides were purchased from Zygofolis in Nice, France.  This information is a bit strange because Zygofolis had a different model Zierer Tivoli coaster.  Pictures of the Zygofolis Tivoli coaster in both 1987 and 1988 show a Medium Tivoli Coaster.  The Coccinelle des Andes is a Large Tivoli Coaster.  Zygofolis did undergo a bankruptcy and change of ownership in it's final years, so it is possible their Tivoli coaster was changed during this time from a medium to large model.  The strange situation is still being researched.
Etymology: "Coccinelle des Andes" is French for "Ladybird of the Andes".
