I love this large carousel! It is really for the adults as it does go quite fast. When the horses move forwards and backwards you can really feel the extra pull (although the last few times I have riden this feature has been turned off) The classic organ on the side also adds to the fun fair feel. - Sunny Daze

I hav said outstanding becos well, it is so much fun. It goes so fast, and it goes up and down backwards and forwards, and the ride is rly long for this type of ride. I agree wit others, i aint an adult quite yet, but it is a carosel for adults, well for most ppl. A bit too big for the young ones becos u dnt hav restraints, but a great laugh. Giddy up horsey, LOL. 8/10!! - Ben Dore

Liked this ride, quite good theming. 8/10 - jack briggs

I love this ride. Sit on the outside horses for the best ride. They go really fast. - Lisa Halfpenny

Another unique old flat ride--more fun than a conventional carousel (you best hold on tight). - Chuck Campbell

Not the simple carousel it looks!!! The horses tend to go VERY fast and you will need to hold on really tight,especially on the outside horses. I would advise riding with a mate if possible and looping the reign over both of your heads and around the person at the back. I would advise against wearing tracksuit/shellsuit bottoms whilst riding as these can make you slip on the seat which wont help you. - Barry Stevenson
