The Grand Carousel is the oldest ride at Kings Island, debuting in 1926 at Cincinnati's Coney Island. During the 1937 flood some of the horses were swept down the river from the park. A reward was offered for them, or pieces of them, and parts were returned from as far away as Memphis, TN. | Kings Island
