Description
It is a special time when the carnival arrives in town. Everyone has their favorite ride, but every carnival or fair has its merry go round. Colorfully painted and bejeweled, there are three general types of carousel horse, depending on its stance: "standing figures" which have at least three of their feet on the ground, "prancers" with two front feet in the air and two on the ground, and "jumpers" with all four feet in the air, represented as if they are running. Jumpers are the ones that move up and down. Carousels are, together with roller coasters, one of the oldest amusement rides still in use.
Ottoway Amusement Company's carousel photographed at the annual Neewollah Festival, Independence Kansas 2016.
"And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game."
