Kennywood Memories: The Thunderbolt and the Grand Carousel

[whoisthisguy724]

The band organ sounds a sour and out of tune in their recording. It's been sounding much better recently. I have 68 recordings of the band organ, which has been freshly restored for the 2011 season.

No way! Being from 1988, this clip brings back great memories of Kennywood before the Phantom and whatnot. If you want some newer stuff, you should check our Charles J Jaques Jr's book, "More Kennywood Memories"

This is terrific and I go to Kennywood every year and I miss Tony Scaramento but let me tell you this that Jack Putnak is now at the Carousel and Keeps the spirit alive just like Tony did and he is such a great person and so full of joy and loves everyone- it is a joy to have him run the Carousel and ask him the history of the ride .

I love this program. However when the video talks about the Pippin they use a POV from the Racer instead. (Here it's 0:39-0:45)
