Description And Comments
A merry-go-round to be sure, but certainly one of the most elaborate and beautiful you will ever see, especially when lit at night. For the 50th anniversary in 2005, a special horse was added in tribute to Julie Andrews and her iconic role in Mary Poppins. She is a white "A" horse, with bells all over, hence her name, "Jingles." To find her, she is the horse closest to the handicapped ramp.
To clarify, the horses on Carrousel are graded based on their location, so the best horses are on the outside, those being the "A" horses. The ranking then progresses inward typically till "D" or "E".
Touring Tips
- Open for Magic Morning Hour
Unless there are small children in your party, we suggest you appreciate this ride from the sidelines. If your children insist on riding, there is rarely more than a 15 minute wait for the attraction. While nice to look at, the carousel loads and unloads very slowly.
