The Carousel on the Promenade at ICON Park was crafted by Chance Rides for an authentic, distinctive look that has been modeled after the finest antique carousels from years past.
The 36-foot carousel features 30 figures made up of a variety of animals including horses, reindeer, sea dragons, deer, zebras and more.
The carousel features replicas of famous antique carousels hand-carved in the late 1800s and early 1900s, including the “Parker Flag Horse,” “Loof Indian Pony” and the famous “Rose Horse” that was on America’s first carousel in Coney Island in 1876, carved by Charles Loof.
The ride also features two chariot benches for guests of all ages and for people with disabilities.
