I always wanted a full size carousel from the early years of the last century - restored to it's glory....
And I wrote a poem about something similar - but since it's much longer, I'll post it somewhere else maybe. |

Yeah, but it would make sense if I had the same reaction on roller-coasters. ..but them I can ride all day, I miss my son. .. Michael doesn't DO roller-coasters. ...hmm well he's coming out sometime in the summer... I see a trip to 6 flags! |

I used to operate the World's Largest portable roller-coaster... I detested everything about it! The only way I rode it was when I was on the clock and being paid. Carousels are okay, I guess, but... sooo boooring... Like watching grass grow on a circular lawn... :) I like the Paratrooper (ran one of those too, with a guy named "Long Tall Sally" :) ) and I don't like Ferris Wheels. I don't like being stopped at the top, because it makes me feel trapped, like I can't get out. |

Carousels make me happy... They're a door to somewhere else.... Roller coasters are something some devil invented. |

Neil.. this was my favorite carnival ride... the Chasco Fiesta would have one for 2 to 3 week's for the month of the Chasco... The year that puppy came to town.. my son and I went every weekend... and rode... a lot... was a different color though. Spoiler: click to toggle That's a beautiful Carousel! Glargg... |

I'd love to.... but that's pretty expensive, what they're asking (of course, those figures are if you want to name the horse).... I could probably send a hundred in the next month or so.... Boy I'd really love to go back east and see it. Even 10 years ago we could have - but now, well, it's just not a thing we could do. Especially now. |

That's complete bummer... I love to watch them, it bring's back magical memories... I have always wanted to buy one of the "new" re-make's of one of the old horses... they sold them a lot in the 80s.. but I never could afford one.. <sigh> Eventually I'll get one.. if Michael can spend a 1k on a dog.. I can on a piece of wood! I'd looove to have this guy in my "game room" Spoiler: click to toggle

Yeah, I always wanted one too - I had a "paint it yourself" one I got when we still lived in Vegas. Unfortunately, it came with some sort of resin "coating" on the plastic, and I spent years trying various things I looked up to get it off - because you couldn't get paint to stick over it - never could get it done. Finally gave it to BB&S in SLC when we were up there one time. I should have paid the other hundred for the wood one.... *sigh* It was unpainted too - but of course it wouldn't have had the resin issue. |

I could make one of those (I'm a hand carver and woodworker), but the time involved would be astronomical. There's a reason that carved items like that are very expensive. A self-employed woodworker has to make about $25 an hour to justify staying in business, and a horse like that would have several hundred hours of work in it. |
