You see, offset from the center of the mall, is a very large semicircular atrium behind the tiny food court. In this atrium is an enormous C. W. Parker carousel.
Carousel rides are $1 each on this antique machine. It is in good shape, but nearly-inaudible music comes from tiny speakers scattered around the ride instead of from a proper band organ. It is so quiet that you can easily hear the shuddering and creaking noises coming from the operating carousel. The machine is gorgeous, with many figures and two chariots. It is a four-row machine except for the one row in front of one of the chariots. That row has not four, but SIX little kiddie ponies, perhaps so that this could claim to be a six-abreast machine.
