This is one of my favorite carousels, primarily because they take such good care of the horses.  It seems most parks just have a carousel but really don't take care of the work of art that they have.



As you can see by the crest on the side of the horse here that this carousel was made by the famous Philadelphia Toboggan Company, otherwise known as PTC.



I love the really old carousels because the horses almost feel alive.  I don't think any steel, plastic or fiberglass horse can bring a carousel to life.



One last parting shot of the Carousel and it's wonderful house.  Every park should have one of these.



Face-Off sits in the Paramount Action Zone of the park.  It's your standard Vekoma Invertigo coaster which is basically a boomerang inverted.
