Caro-Seuss-el reviews

Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Caro-Seuss-el, a carousel in Seuss Landing at Universal's Islands of Adventure.
A classic carousel, with Seuss characters replacing the traditional horses. (That can make this a bit overwhelming for the youngest riders.)

One of the best carousels. It could use a little retouching, as could most of Islands of Adventure, but definitely a cool ride. Almost always no wait. - Eric S

Imaginative. Makes a change from galloping horses. - Mark Moore

Here’s something fun to do next time you are on Seuss Landing. Stand about 20 or 30 feet away from the ride and pay attention to the music playing in the streets of the area. It’s known as “site sound” in UO lingo. Once the ride has started and is spinning, slowly walk up to it. Listen as the song from the area blends in perfectly with a calliope version being played on the Caro-Seuss-el. This won’t work during Grinchmas as special holiday music is played on the island. Then listen closely as the ride starts or stops its cycle. You will hear the music ramp up or down as if a music box or calliope is lurching to life or dying down after being used. It’s one of the fun little touches most guests don’t notice. - Rob McCullough

8/10. Not just your avererage merry-go-round. - Nicholas Gammon

Its a beautiful carousel. Its "horses" are all Seussian characters and its very colorful and fun to ride. I think the parents will appreciate it as much as their kids. - Melissa Faulkner
