A contemporary view of the SOUTH COAST PLAZA Carousel Court. The merry-go-round seen here, installed in 1967, was the first of two that currently operate in the SCP complexes. The second carousel  was set up in the CRYSTAL COURT mall in September 1990.

The original SOUTH COAST PLAZA carousel was built by the Arrow Development Company, of Mountain View, California, who manufactured several rides for Disneyland. The horses are replaced by bunnies at Easter and reindeer during the yuletide season.
