carousel
n.
merry-go-round (ride for children)
Carousel
A carousel (or carrousel) is an
amusement ride consisting of a
rotating platform with seats for passengers. The "seats" are
traditionally in the form of wooden
horses or animals, which are often moved mechanically up and down to simulate galloping. This leads to one of the
machine's alternative names, the galloper. Other popular names are merry-go-round, roundabout and flying horses. Usually, music is looped while the rides spins.
