It seems like everything is getting the solar power treatment as evident with the CRStudios carousel. Located at Hudson River Park's Chelsea Cove on Pier 62, it features a green-topped roof that is also equipped with solar panels.
Considering that enough energy is expended when it comes to carnival rides, the CRStudios carousel is a commendable design. Also, if parents take the time to relate the importance of the rooftop to their children, it would inadvertently lead to an eco-conscious educational moment.
