New London — Jeff Mullen, owner of Action Amusements, was working on applying a third coat of paint on the saddle of the Juliana McCourt horse while using an air hockey table as a work bench Tuesday in his arcade at Ocean Beach Park in New London.
The horse was the 4-year-old Juliana McCourt's favorite and the only one she would ride when she visited the park; it was dedicated to her after she and her mother died in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, when flying to Disneyland.
Mullen said taking care of all his amusement rides at the park is "a labor of love." He and an employee started the repainting last Wednesday and the goal for the winter is to paint at least 15 of the carousel's 36 horses. The project will probably take six weeks to complete because more than one coat of paint will be needed, he said.
