Efteling Salon Carousel in Netherlands
By William Frisk

The Efteling amusement park in Kaatsheuvel, The Netherlands, has
a salon carousel that is operated daily.  The park is almost unknown
to people from North America but is a truly spectacular theme park with
amazing scenery.  Most rides are more highly themed than American ones
and have specially composed theme music as well.  Friends who have
visited place it in their top 3 or 4 favorite amusement parks.  It is
a total experience that is like nothing else.  Web site at

Plopsaland in Belgium is also worth visiting for those wanting a
different sort of park.  When in Denmark visit Bon Bon Land, home of
the Hunderprut (Dog Fart Coaster):

Disney does not have anything like that!

 [ It's still called the Stoomcarroussel (steam carousel) even
 [ though today it is powered by an electric motor (and the organ music
 [ sounds like an audio recording).  See the carousel and salon at
