The merry-go-round is one of the oldest amusement rides, alongside the roller coaster. The merry-go-round rotates on a circular platform around a pole, also known as the carousel. 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.

Carousels are often described by carousels. The names give the horses personality and bring them to life. Among riders, Galloper, Jumper, and Roundabout were all favorites. Undeniably, names like Galloper, Jumper, and Roundabout became popular among riders. Although horses dominate the carousel world, lions, tigers, and several other exotic animals fill the stands.
