Ride broken.

[Bussy]

From The Daily Telegraph Tuesday, September 28, 2004 The famous Luna Park carousel was temporarily closed after a seat broke mid-ride on the weekend. An animal on the historic 1860's carousel fell from its post in the middle of the ride on Sunday forcing the operator to halt the merry-go-round. A Luna Park spokesman confirmed that the cockle slipped from its guide and landed on the floor of the carousel. A cockle is like a merry-go-round horse, but shaped like a chicken. "The guide broke, which meant the cockle dropped onto the carousel," he said. No one was riding on the cockle, which was not damaged. "The Bus is now leaving for Cockle Spit, South Australia"
