Carousel PTC #21, (Grand Carousel) originally opened in 1912 at Savin Rock, where it operated until the 1960s.
In 1936, the carousel was struck by major flood damage, but was restored and continued operation in 1939, until its closure in 1967, where it was shipped to Magic Mountain.[1] The ride was refurbished at a cost of approximately $10,000 by Action Animation Co..[2]
In 1971, the carousel resumed operation in its new home, opening with the park. The park has done extensive refurbishment work on the ride, including replacing most of its original wood horses with fiberglass replicas.
