It’s always memorable when it’s your first carousel ride. I remember my first carousel ride; I was about six years old, the memories of it still lingers. I remember so well riding one of those with my brother and just pretending that we rode a real horse and that he was going to catch me. Wow. It was like one of the best memories of my childhood.  Even until now, I still enjoy riding the carousel, it is a classic; every person in this world has tried this theme park ride. This is like everybody’s favorite ride and it’s always fun whenever you ride one. It’s nice to visit theme parks and ride a carousel once in a while, it also brings back memories.

The carousel ride started in Europe and it reached in 1900s in United States. In every theme park I doubt if there’s no carousel. If there’s no carousel, it is not a theme park for me. You will usually find this at the center of the theme park where this consists of a platform and the seats start to rotate. The seats are obviously wood and carved into horses and sometimes there are chariots and deer, dog, cats and so on. When the music plays the carousel starts to spin and the horses and the carved animals start to gallop and stop when the music stops.
