Sous l'entrée «manège», les ouvrages définissent le spécifique «manège de chevaux de bois», le plus ancien et le plus connu des manèges. Cependant, vu la prolifération des engins de divertissements dans les parcs d'attractions au cours des dernières années, «manège» a de plus en plus tendance à signifier le générique pour toute construction animée, qu'elle soit actionnée sur un pivot, sur rail ou autrement («ride» en anglais), et «manège de chevaux de bois» ou «carrousel» se restreint à signifier celui des manèges où l'on monte sur cheval de bois («merry-go-round» en anglais). 5, record 2, French, - man%C3%A8ge%20de%20chevaux%20de%20bois
