A popular piece of playground equipment which resembles a carnival merry-go-round without the horses or overhead canopy. Children can sit or stand on the platform, holding onto rails so they don't fall off, while other kids spin it around. The ride gets you nice and dizzy, but if you aren't careful, you can fall off and hurt yourself. And if you tend to get queasy, this gets you on the fast-track to Barfolaville.
