Bruce the Clown said...: Rumor always had it that the carousel from Savin Rock amusement park in West Haven, CT, which I used to ride as a kid went to Six Flags Magic Mountain when it retired. I wonder if this is it . . .?; 14 March, 2012 10:40
Eric said...: You are correct. The Magic Mountain carousel once operated at Savin Rock. Back in March of 1971, while Magic Mountain was still under construction, I had an opportunity to photograph the carousel, which had just been completely refurbished. It has been at Magic Mountain now for over 40 years.; 14 March, 2012 11:18
Bruce the Clown said...: Thank you, Eric. A huge part of my home town died when Savin Rock got redeveloped. I'm happy to see that the Flying Horses didn't die with it . . .; 14 March, 2012 16:45
Anonymous said...: That was a pleasant blast from the past. I haven't heard them called "Flying Horses" since I was a kid @ Salisbury Beech MA.
