Horses stand and horses fly

Two more cool carousels. “The Flying Horses” is really a kids carousel since the chains suspending the horses can’t carry adult weight. It isn’t fancy as some of the others. They claim it was built by a rocking horse manufacturer who had more inventory than he knew what to do with so he built this carousel for a carnival. It kind of looked like that story might be true.
We found another historic Loeff . This one predated the up and down mechanics. These horses just stand but they make up for the potentially less exciting ride by going around really fast. I rode this one. For a quarter…can you believe it? Its organ had been rebuilt and played wonderfully. That added to the authenticity. Another great ride.
