Origins, Making a Move
Dornroschen, German for “Sleeping Beauty,” was installed for the park’s 1992 season in the location currently occupied by ZoomJets. In 2009, with the addition of Wiggles World, the ride was moved to Rockville and renamed Amerigoround. In Rockville, the carousel sat in the former spot of the Chaos attraction that was removed after the 2005 season.

Grand Carousel has called three different spots in the park home.
Grand Carousel debuted in 1992 with the grand opening of Fiesta Texas.
Moving Back to Spassburg
In the summer of 2017, Six Flags Fiesta Texas announced that Power Surge would be demolished to make way for the new Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster. Fiesta Texas also announced that Amerigoround would be moved to a new location to make way for the attraction’s exit ramp and gift shop.
In November 2017, Fiesta Texas began dismantling the carousel. Once removed, it underwent an extensive refurbishment with an outside company. On July 18, 2018, the ride reopened in its new home next to Sangerfest Halle in Spassburg.
