About Us

We build the best, longest lasting merry-go-rounds/carousels available. We have available, parts for most Theel rides. We also have for sale genuine cast aluminum merry-go-round horses, painted or unpainted, along with stands to support them.

How We Got Started

In 1948 two brothers, Carl and Eugene Theel started building amusement rides in Leavenworth, Kansas. I acquired most of the patterns for those rides in 2001 and moved them to La Cygne, Kansas where I now produce them.
