Riders are able to board the platform. Around the large central pole, A motor spins the platform. Between rows of seats, passengers ride wooden horses and other animals. The animals are held in place by poles, which are tied to poles. The colorful animals move up and down every once in a while. The movement mimics galloping. In the meantime, calliope music plays, adding to the light-hearted mood.
