Columbia Carousel

Carousel Columbia and Columbia Carousel are a pair of double-decker carousels at California's Great America in Santa Clara, California, and Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, respectively. The California carousel is the tallest carousel in the world at 101 feet (31 m) tall, while the Illin

ois carousel is 100 feet (30 m) tall. First opening as the Columbia in 1976, the double-decker carousels were built as original rides under the Marriott Corporation, as both parks used to have near identical layouts. Both parks are now owned by the Six Flags Entertainment Corporation following the merger of Cedar Fair, who was the owner of California's Great America, and Six Flags, who was the owner of Six Flags Great America.
