The Battery’s Long Awaited Aquatic-Themed Carousel Slated to Open Aug. 20
(DNAINFO) Irene Plagianos — OPENS AUGUST 20, 2015 — The Battery’s long-anticipated undersea-themed carousel is almost ready to whirl.
The SeaGlass Carousel, a whimsical ride featuring 30 giant, custom made fish-shaped seats, is finally slated to open on Aug. 20, Warrie Price, the president of The Battery Conservancy told DNAinfo.
The $16 million project, initially meant to open more than two years ago, had been slowed down by rough winters, lingering effects of Hurricane Sandy and, more recently, a delay with needed city permits.
