The Carousel is a
classic merry-go-round ride, on a grand scale!
Unlike on traditional carousels, where the horses are suspended from a
large pole and follow and "up and down" movement, the horses on
Loudoun's ride are freestanding and rock back and forth as the carousel
turns round!
The ride is also about twice the size of the average carousel, making
it a very dominant feature in its position, right in the middle of
Pirate Cove.
The Carousel was built by Zierer
and was brought to the park by Henk Bembom in 2002, to replace the one
which had stood in the same spot during the previous management.
