First up we have the Merry-Go-Round:

The game was changed up in the 17th century, where riders now had to spear small rings that were hanging over their heads. No jousting was involved, but it was still a cavalry spectacle that commoners would start to participate.

I'm not sure if it's still there, but the amusement park Knoebels in Pennsylvania has a Merry-Go-Round that if you're on the outer edge, there's a spot where you can grab metal rings from as it goes around. Not sure if any other park has something like that., but it's a neat concept that adds a little more zest to the ride and calls back to this ancient history.
