Cinderella's Golden Carousel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coordinates: 28°25′12″N 81°34′52″W / 28.42°N 81.58111°W Cinderella's Golden Carrousel is an authentic carousel ride housed directly behind Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World. In true amusement park tradition, this 90-horse carousel plays organ-based Disney classics during its 2 minute ride.
The carousel was originally built by The Philadelphia Toboggan Company, one of the most prestigious carousel companies, in 1917. In 1967, Walt Disney purchased the handmade carousel (and horses) from the Olympic Park[1] in Maplewood, New Jersey. The original name of the carousel was Liberty, and the maidens can still be seen on the top of the carousel. Cinderella's own horse can be found in the second rank of horses. It is the only one that has a golden bow on its tail.
