The playful drawl of carousel music leads you to an open stable area instead of the flashing multicolored lights and circular platform that you had probably been expecting. That is not the only thing unusual around these here parts either. Instead of the usual faux horses, hippopotamuses, otters, and multiple other animals found on muggle carousels, you are greeted by enchanted statues of hippogriffs, griffins, unicorns, dragons, blast-ended skrewts, thestrals, and even sphinxes. The hippogriffs expect you to bow before riding them, the unicorns whinny, the dragons breathe fire, the blast-ended skrewts toot flames, the thestrals flap their bat-like wings, and the sphinxes claw at the ground and may ask you a riddle or two.

Each animal is equipped with a saddle, seat belt, and golden pole to hold on to while you ride. Where to exactly? Around the festivities of course! Each of the life-like statues has been enchanted to not roam outside the boundaries of the Summer Street Fest. They should, in theory, prance around the perimeter but do not be surprised if they create their own paths - especially the dragons.

So step right up, select your creature, and enjoy the ride.

OOC: Have fun riding the enchanted carousel creatures, and interacting with the carousel helper Vashti Amstern (AlwaysSnapesGirl)!
