What is on the ornaments this year?

[thelarsonsix]

If I remember right, last year they changed the requirements a bit (just for 2010) because it was their 50th anniversary year.  They only required five visits to the park during the course of the year.  This year they are back to attending five events.

I think you're close. It was 5 different events and/or festivals. Not just 5 visits.

the carousal

[tiffanylynnt]

I grew up riding the carousel! I'm glad its back, but I don't get to ride it anymore.

Carousel is an odd word. It just looks funny. maybe its the U. It just seems a little off......

[rubedugans]

I thought the same thing, and had to look twice at it.Silly French words!..
Here is the etymology on it...
"a playful tournament of knights in chariots or on horseback" (1640s),
from Fr. carrousel "a tilting match,"
from Italian. carusiello, possibly from carro "chariot,"
from Latin. carrus

Albeit much smaller than last years, I still like that better.

I'm kind of happy I'll get 3 of those this year. Most years the ornament has been neat but not really remarkable.

[sanddunerider]

actually it is about the same size as the last few years.  they had a display showing last severla years, and had them on sale for 10.00 each..

the big thing i did notice is that last years and this years is "lighter" than previous years.  AND all the previous years say "made in the usa" on them....  THESE DO NOT...   mmmmm? wonder if that means anything?

What if.....WHAT IF (mind you I am just trying to be all silly up in here)....WHAT....IF.....

They randomly place ornaments in actual trees throughout the park for people to find!   It's THEMING!

Hahaha, just kidding, but imagine how it would force people to do what we are already doing and look at the details and beauty of the city instead of herding through the City like cattle.

Of course, because this is just a silly lark of a concept, there are many problems with the plan (like hoarding, cost, etc).   But just a silly fun idea.
