Danbury Fair Mall
Danbury, CT
The Danbury Mall Carousel is a modern but unusual double-decker Bertazzon Venetian. It features chariots and horses that rock (rather than going up and down) and spinning cars. For more, see this website.

Magical Fish Tale Carousel
Lenny and Joe's Fish Tale Drive-in
Madison, CT
The Magical Fish Tale Carousel was built in 1999. It is a modern, all-wood Dentzel carousel. It is only 20 feet in diameter with eight figures suspended from above - a "flying horse" type where the figures swing out when the carousel is in motion. The figures included are: a hippocampus, a frog, a giraffe, a lion, a horse, a cat, a seal, a whale and a lobster chariot. The panels were painted at a community painting party. There is also a brass ring machine and some posted information and photos about Dentzel history.

Ocean Beach Park
New London, CT
The Ocean Beach Park Carousel was built by Theil and is made of aluminum. It was installed here in 1999 and has about 30 horses and some smaller figures (two elephants, two deer in front of benches). It was purchased from Adventureland Amusement Park in Altoona, IA.
