History

The Carrousel was built by Philadelphia Toboggan Company in 1917 for the Detroit Palace Garden Park. It's original name was Liberty, and was the 46th, out of 87 carrousels that the company built. The carrousel was moved around 1928 to Olympic Park in New Jersey, where it was in operation for 39 years. Olympic Park closed in 1967, and Disney then purchased it for restoration and installation in the Magic Kingdom in 1971.
