Carousel, also named Merry-go-round, is a classic kiddie ride, typically considered as the attractive amusement rides for children in all parks, playgrounds, funfair, shopping centers, etc. It is an amusement ride consisting of a rotating circular platform with seats for riders. The "seats" are traditionally in the form of rows of horses or other animals mounted on posts, many of which are moved up and down by gear-work to simulate galloping, to the accompaniment of circus music.
