Along with the flying machine this is a ride I've overlooked. seeing it as a tame carrousel style family ride. It was only after reading reports of it being a more thrilling ride that I took an interest. I'm told it used to be even more exciting, when the horses could rock a lot more, but this has been toned down due to fears arising from compensation culture. Honestly, this, and it factored in the loss of Noah's Ark and Trauma Towers. Can't we sue compensation lawyers for making our lives a misery.

Even without the rocking this still turns out not to be a gentle kids ride, but a well disguised family thrill ride. This ride is larger than a standard carrousel, which when combined with the high speed of the ride, means a good amount of sideways g-force is created as you spin around.

Despite what it initially looks like this is not a fun family thrill ride, which when combined with the atmosphere created by the carrousel theme and music create a great overall package.
