A new attraction is set to arrive in its place next week<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

THE carousel on Cardiff\u2019s Queen Street is being taken down after nearly a decade in place and is set to be completely removed by the end of today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a brand new carousel will take its place by next weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work to dismantle the ride began yesterday (March 24). It is owned by Sayers Amusements, which also operates Cardiff\u2019s Winter Wonderland and Cardiff Bay Beach attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter nine years, we felt it is a perfect time to freshen up the attraction to capture something new and exciting on Queen Street,\u201d said Norman Sayers, Director of Sayers Amusements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A council spokesperson confirmed the plans to replace it, stating: \u201cIt is being taken down and replaced with a new one next weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attraction has been a familly favouite on one of Cardiff’s main shopping streets for the best part of a decade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery time we go to Cardiff my daughter, would go on the carousel again and again – one time she even went on it four times in a row – I\u2019m so glad it is only being replaced,\u201d said Anna Humphreys, mother to five-year-old, Tiana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
