Carousels are one of the most common attractions when it comes to theme parks and boardwalks around the world. Most of them have horses that go up and down in a circle. King Triton’s Carousel is unique in that it doesn’t have any horses, unless of coarse you count the seahorses. Instead, the steeds on this carousel are colorful underwater mammals and fish like dolphins, sea lions, whales, sea otters, flying fish and garibaldi.
