The "Americana" Carousel at the Mall of America is a reproduction style carousel ("a hand-painted contemporary version of the classic American merry-go-round"). It features 34 figures and one chariot. Despite its lack of historic value, it is in great shape and wonderful in its garishness which will hopefully instill appreciation for carousels and ensure their preservation.
