The Flying Horses

Journaling reads: I grew up on these horses. That is, until Savin Rock closed down and most everything was hauled off to a landfill. Thankfully this carousel was sold to Six Flags in California. We had always called them the FLYING HORSES but they are now called the Grand Carousel. Although as a child, I never wanted to ride in the chariots (as seen in the original Savin Rock photo), they are no longer part of the current carousel. They were gorgeous with gold leaf, and very intricate. As a child I remember being mesmerized by the expressions on each horse - all seemingly different. It saddens me that Savin Rock is no longer in existence, but I am glad that the Flying Horses are still in use. This year is their 100th anniversary, built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company in 1912, and known as PTC #21. Today there are only a few 100 in existence. My hope is that my flying horses are kept at Magic Mountain to be enjoyed for future generations, as everyone should experience a ride on a flying horse.
