So Now You Know

Cinderella's Golden Carousel - The carousel came from Olympic Park and was built in 1917 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company. 90 of the horses were from there and they are carved out of wood. There are also 11 fibreglass horses made by Disney, which equals 101 horses! The horses on the very outside of the carousel are the largest, decreasing in size to the smallest horses in the centre of the carousel. Next time you're on the carousel, take a close look at the horses, only one side of them is very intricately detailed - the side that faces outwards, the inside of the horse is very plain. 23-carat gold leaf is used to decorate the horses, real silver and bronze is also used.
