HUGE news from Six Flags St. Louis - after nearly 6 seasons, the Carousel is finally back in operation. To celebrate the momentous return, they have added a carousel horse to the marquee sign
The Grand Ole' Carousel has been closed since 2019 when it was announced that they would be doing a complete and extensive renovation to the ride.
The ride was originally developed by Philadelphia Toboggan Company
Each horse has been painstakingly redone. Taking all of the paint off down to the plaster.
Once to that level it was patched and sanded and then the paint layers were added one by one.
Jewels were added and each horse was given a distinct identity and name
The results are a ride that has literally been brought back to life
With that being said, the two war chariots are still missing - the park says that they will return later this season once they complete some last minute touches
It has been nearly 6 seasons in the making - was it worth the wait?
Perhaps, all we know is that it is nice to have the attraction back in operation
