Times ridden: 1 ~ Ride experience: 9 ~ Appearance: 9 ~ Fun factor: medium ~ Nausea factor: low ~ Reride factor: low ~ Evaluation: Greeting all those who pass through the park gates is this marvelous double-decker carousel named Columbia. Built by Chance in the mid 70s, and opened along with the park, Columbia looks fantastic, especially at night. Its double-deck seating allows for passengers to choose to sit either on the lower level, or the unique second level. I choose the later. Riding on top, riders will get a terrific view of the main gate area and fountain, while not being surrounded by many wandering guests making their way through the park. Riding Columbia was a unique experience I wont forget, afterall, these are pretty rare to come by.
