 Review of Caro-Suess-el @ Islands of Adventure

Decent carousel, and rather creative design. But, it lacks in the follow-through department. I find it rather saddening that the colorful and imaginative characters of Dr. Suess cannot be brought to life on this carousel in as a grand a manner as the typical carousel horse and animals. The prestigious paint jobs, might sculpted poses, and the overall power of the classic carousel is not represented here ... which I think hurts the ride. My advice, keep the idea ... but send the character sketches out to be resculpted and painted by seasoned carousel creators ... give Suesss characters the majesty they deserve.

I dont think IOA wanted it to be a classic carousel. They wanted it to be different, and it surely is.

It is different and Ill give credit as that. My issue comes in that it lacks the "presence" or "overall power" of a classic carousel. It doesnt have the majesty when you look upon it. I dont think this missing element has anything to do with the character or style choices, but rather the paints lack of luster, the character carvings rather flat appearance (in comparison with the majestic horses and animals of the wooden models), and the overall presentation has it almost hidden rather than the showcased visual centerpiece of Suessland it should hold.
