Technically this is a cockerel, since it's a boy, and the carousel is English.

This angle on the carousel rooster looks horrifying, because you can't see its eyes!

My brother-in-law and his wife took me to Six Flags in NJ as a Christmas present...it just took a lot of time to finally schedule it. :-D

That said, the scheduling was EXTREMELY fortunate, because we learned at the end of the season that they were going to dismantle Kingda Ka, the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world at some point in time. If we had not gone then, I would have never gotten to ride it, so I'm super happy that worked out.

They were playing Tears for Fears.

The carousel ticket cashier asked if I had singles, and I said, “I will give you all my singles if you change the music.”

She asked what I wanted, and I said, “Calliope music? Something that you would hear on a carousel?”

She called over The Manager, who explained that they can no longer play The Old CD because “this” is what The County wants…

What can I say: I guess wanting Eighties music on a carousel is very Jersey of you, Bergen County.
