Unforgettable
Added in 1981, The Carousel measures 80’ in diameter and 35’ high and weighs 36 tons! It is embellished with more than 20,000 lights, and It is billed as the largest carousel in the world. We were impressed.

Wowzer…very ornamental…that must be a sight…did you ride it?

It was just ornamental . . . no rides offered.

This thing is huge – you must have a wide angle lens to capture all of this!

Yes, a wide angle Nikon zoom 16mm.

Hi Lois,
It’s beautiful! I haven’t rode on a carousal in ages. What memories this brings back. Have a great day!

so much detail. I am also wondering if you rode it.

They were not offering rides when we were there. Just ornamental and so very beautiful.

wow, it’s beautiful. Are those angels or swan-people the ones with white wings?
May 4, 2011 at 7:14 pm
I think they are meant to be angels.

I think it would be on my bucket list to ride on a carousel like this one! Thanks for the memories of our visit there!

Hard to walk past that and not be amazed!

Wow! This has got to be the Hope Diamond of Carousels. It must be a visual feast to see it up close.

This is amazing; very dream-like.

Wow, I can see why this would be unforgettable! I love old fairground rides, and this one looks something very special.
