Did you ride it? Nice pic David... They just tore down the last carousel that was on Jantzen Beach, it was there in the 1890's it was the big horses and chariots ...I was sorry to see it go away.
I didnt have a quarter!!! heheh Yea not many around.. here they have the one that I rode as a kid from Pleasure Beach all restored at the Beardsley zoo and the one that I rode at Savin Rock in New Haven is restored and at Lighthouse park.. nice they restored them and they operate them indoors now..
Yep.. there used to be two amusement parks here one here in Bridgeport at Pleasure beach and one in New Haven at Savin Rock.. I went to both many times when I was a kid [link] they sold off most of the Savin Rock one but they have s few of the horses that were on one of the seven carousels there in the Lighthouse Park carousel in New haven now [link]
