Grand Carousel is a Carousel built by US manufacturer Philadelphia Toboggan Company currently located at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, USA.
History
The Carousel opened at Coney Island in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA in 1926. It replaced an existing carousel and re-used the same building. The ride was relocated within the park in 1932 into a new building designed by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company.[1]
The ride was refurbished in 1969 at a cost of $50,000.[2]
After Coney Island closed in 1971, the ride was relocated to Kings Island. Its structure remained standing at Coney Island until it was demolished in 1985.[3]
Incident
A 68-year-old woman fell from the ride in 1947 and died.[4]
