Crescent Park Carousel — Attraction in East Providence

I've been coming here since I was a boy. My parents brought me any chance they could and now I bring my wife kids any chance I can. We come here to get away from every day life and because this carousel brings us joy. We never left here ever without a smile. Until today when I came real close to giving an attitude check to the ignorant beared kid there with the backwards hat who has the very difficult job of sitting there in the center of the carousel. I noticed a few times him staring towards my wife halfway through the ride. But it wasn't until there was a break between the loud circus organ music when I heard him yell at my 50 year old wife who sat right beside me on the ride "not to throw the rings from the inside" and "he's only said it 11 times". THE ONLY THING that held me back from going off on him was because I don't have a filter and I wasn't about to ruin other people's time for one asshat that didn't have enough respect to walk over to me to address his issue in between rides. After they ordeal I walked around the whole parameter looking for any signs that says "not to throw rings from second row in", or any row for that matter. And out of all the signs there out in the open, not one regarding ring toss! Neither me nor my wife are wreck less people. Absolutely NO ONE, including our kids were in any type of harms way. Either way. That boy needs to check his attitude towards anyone going there spending their money to have a good time. And properly learn how to address any issue...

We took our grand kids yesterday entering the parking lot this blonde approached us and was very rude to my husband telling him to turn the car around that you can’t park her but she could’ve said it in a nicer way then we parked our car and we’re walking up to the window without children grandchildren and their this woman was posting a sign of carousel was closed and you couldn’t buy a ticket it happened to be the same blonde I asked the young lady who is that woman she said she’s the manager of it well she did some people skills because she wasn’t very pleasant to us at all she was hanging out where the carousel is behind it where she scolded us not to park hanging with people just having a cigarette and having a hell of a time she needs to be trained with people skills...

Took my special needs child for a ride and the attendant proceeded to use the belt on the horse, which was way to small, to strap her in. I mentioned they had a larger one at the control station and the attendant just ignored me. Then I tried to get a few rings and pass them to my daughter to throw at the clown but they wouldn't allow that. Finally as the ride was crawling to a stop I was scolded for removing my belt to get off and help my daughter. It stopped within 10 feet...On top of everything the music wasn't working and no one thought to maybe get a boom box. The "merry" go round just spins in silence while the teenagers in charge yell at you...I realize everyone is concerned about safety but come on!...Not fun, after one ride...
