Great carousel...looks identical to Walt Disneyworld's PTC with exception of the outside row horses were kept original and not modified to jump up and down.
Such a classic ride. Unfortunately this one thing Florida doesn't have anymore. There used to be a Illions carousel with Carmel, Loof, and S&G horses and a working Wurlitzer 153 band organ. Unfortunately, it was sold about a year ago.

Sadly, the organ sounds very poorly maintained in this video

I'm guessing that this was taken late in the season when the organ starts to need repair.

@Wurlitzer157 It's been broken since 2008 and they never fix the poor thing. Really makes me sad...

So fast... I love this carousel, and the Wurlitzer 153 band organ also!
It plays great!

@Wurlitzer157 This is a rare kind of 153. VERY SAME as the one in lake compounce. Sounds the same, BUT IT HAS NO GLOCKENSPEIL WORKING!!!
It might be a little diffrent than the lake compounce one.

@anglerfly Last time i wen't to Kennywood, their organ had no flutes or glockenspiel either! What's up with that?!

Tim Trager is selling a 153 duplex with almost the same facade.

@anglerfly If i had the money, i'd buy Tim's organ in a heartbeat!

I believe the Wurlitzer 153 is the most common band organ
