Carousel

This article is about the fairground ride. For the stage musical, see Carousel.

English: A carousel is a fairground ride consisting of a rotating platform with seats for passengers. The "seats" are traditionally in the form of horses, which are moved mechanically up and down to simulate galloping. This leads to the machine's alternative name, the galloper. Another popular names are the merry-go-round and roundabout.
Español: Un carrusel, un tiovivo o unas calesitas son atracciones de feria que consisten en una plataforma giratoria con asientos para los pasajeros. Tradicional, aunque no necesariamente, los asientos suelen tener forma de caballo o de cuadrúpedo similar y suben y bajan mediante mecanismos para asemejarse al galope de los animales.
