The Flying Horses Carousel is the oldest operating platform carousel in the United States. [2] Located in the historic resort community of Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, on Martha's Vineyard, the carousel was apparently first located in New York City before being moved to the island in the 1880s.
When the carousel rotates, centrifugal force drives the horses outward, giving rise to the name "flying horses." The horses in the Oak Bluffs carousel are fixed to columns between spreader panels above and a platform below. [3] A child rides the carousel. The carousel is located in a wood-frame pavilion at the end of Bay Street in Watch Hill.
