The Biggest Carousel In The World

I'm in the middle of reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman, and in it, there's a scene were the main characters go to a place called "The House On The Rock". This is described as a column of rock on which someone built a fantastic looking house in the 50's, I think it said. People started coming to see the house, so the guy started charging them. And thus began the history of a place that sounds like the most tackiest tourist attraction ever.

Indeed, the book describes a huge carousel (yes, spelled with a 'u', the correct British way), called The Biggest Carousel In The World, which was built ONLY to lay claim to the biggest carousel in the world.

As these things turn out - it's real!

Take a look at this pic, and weep at The Tackiest Thing In The World:
