I used to spend quite a lot of time chatting to the ride operators while waiting for the chance to snap people "enjoying themselves" and they told me that it was becoming more and more difficult to cover their costs. The cost of transport, maintenance and running costs of a carousel are considerable and would be lucky to break even in a tiny place like Emmerdale.

Also on the cost of an outdoor ice rink would be nowhere near, ?65,000, these ice rinks do not use real ice, they made of some sort of hard plastic or resin. No freezing is involved.
It was a very impressive set up for a small village.
