Everyone loves a good carrousel ride every once in a while. You feel like a majestic King or Queen as you get up in the saddle (almost slip off) and allow your hair to sway in the gust of wind.

At Disney, they take the aesthetic of their King Arthur Carrousel very seriously. It takes almost 40 hours to repaint each of the 68 horses on the ride. That’s a combined 2,720 hours just painting the darn things. For perspective, it would take them 113 days to complete. They repaint them every two years.
