Carousel goes round and round

Can't recall why, but I was never a fan of the carousel when I was little. Maybe it was the constant going round and round that left me dizzy and I was fearful of the painted horses. But now, I'm thinking I've missed out on a lot of fun.

Do you like carousel rides?

I loved them. I always wanted to go on them when they were at the mall in Mississauga. I would always try to find the highest horse and then I felt so high up and ahhhh... nostalgia. :)

I'm definitely still going on some someday.

ahaha.. when I was a little kid I thought this thing looks silly, but fun nonetheless, I will feel like too childish but then I enjoyed the ride anyway, so I had this love-hate relationship with carousel, as for now, I think only the love left, especially realizing how whimsical it actually looks ;)

I do :) I think it is rather fun to ride on a carousel. Maybe not as exciting as when I was little, but still fun! And I love these pictures.

I LOVE them! still. I always feel like a little kid, and it makes me giggle and feel happy. While waiting in line, I scope out the prettiest horse which I want, and half the fun is rushing to it and trying to get it before anyone else! and then I get bummed if some kid gets it before me, haha.

My favorite carousel is in Santa Cruz, California at the Boardwalk, because there's a little dispenser on one side that as it goes around you pull a metal ring out and then try to throw it into a hole on the wall (that's painted like a clown, gotta get it in his mouth) so it's so fun each lap around you quickly grab a ring and throw it! I've only gotten it in once in my life, i think, haha.

I love the look of them but I didn't like riding them. Always made me dizzy.
