Hey boys and girls,

I took my family to the Wild Animal Park recently and saw that they have added a new attraction. The Wild Animal Park Carousel.

Due to the heavy African influence at the park the ride has an almost tiki vibe to it. Its super nice and the motor is extra quiet. Nothing like new technology on an old standby.

Here are some Pics.

This is the view of the entire ride with the bundled grass roofline and mounted masks around the perimeter.

Wonderful animals on the ride. Modern expoxy and fiberglass techniques produce some amazing detail. The high gloss paint job is excellent too.

Hummingbirds. The jet pilots of the bird kingdom.
