The Carousel or Merry-go-round is the oldest form of amusement ride! "carousel" dates back to 1650, whereas "merry-go-round" only dates back to 1729.
The American variety almost always goes clock-wise, and the European form rotates anti-clockwise. Reputed because the horse is always mouted from the outside?
The organ with the Carousel will be in the centre.
The Carousel is either a jumping horse (galloper) or a stationary horse.
I am never going to get old, I love the Carousel ... Ride the St. Augustine, Florida Carousel at Daveport Park (next to the Library) ... My Grand Daughter's Eve & Mia Dorego do because Grandpa AccordionMan make the Music here ... Andy Bakke,
