Carousel/Merry Go Round Rides Info and History - Flat Ride Friday 10

The Carousel, merry go round, or roundabout is generally considered the original amusement ride. The modern version of the ride can be found in thousands of locations worldwide, in locations ranging from amusement parks, museums, zoos and even cruise ships. It is simply the most recognizable and significant ride ever created. But a ride as old as the carousel has a rich and deep history, and the rides we call carousels today have evolved significantly over time.

Special thanks to the Merry Go Round Museum Sandusky and The Carousel Museum Connecticut for helping with this video.
