Blessing the feed with this STUNNING carousel. I’ve ridden it 4 times now. I have a favorite carousel now, and this is it. Fun fact about this ride, I was chatting with a TM for the attraction and there is SEVEN different soundtracks for this ride, each with their own unique ride cycle.

I'm low-key obsessed with this ride. What a magical way to capture the essence of a classic, vintage amusement park ride in a new, flagship theme park. It's a complete overhaul of the entire formula of a carousel while still delivering a relatively familiar, yet seemingly supremely elevated, ride experience. It oozes with expectation subversion while still seeming to deliver the core, classic carousel experience. The ride system is wholly custom and absolutely fascinating. The presentation looks stunning. This thing is bound to be iconic.

Seems appropriately poetic that the crown for best-themed carousel be passed from IOA to UEU.

Watching it I couldn’t help but think it’s exactly the kind of thing Warner LeRoy would have done at Great Adventure given the money and technology. It also reminded me of the Crystal Carousel at the World of Sid & Marty Krofft or the one at House on the Rock.
