- Flipcommons AI Descriptions (GameplayFeature)A variant of [[gameplay-feature:roto-targets]] in which the targets are mounted on a circular, carousel-style rotating assembly rather than a simple spinning disc. The carousel arrangement fans multiple targets around a central axis, cycling them past the player as the mechanism turns. [[manufacturer:gottlieb]] designer [[person:ed-krynski]] introduced the feature on *[[title:dancing-lady]]* (1966), which carried five carousel roto-targets on its playfield — the first pinball machine known to use this configuration. Like all roto-targets, the carousel variant demands precise shot timing during the [[technology-generation:electromechanical]] era's mechanically driven play, but its distinctive circular motion gives the mechanism a visually striking presence on the playfield.
