Great video! How I miss those childhood days riding the carousel at Seaside Heights, NJ. It was an Illions with a B.A.B. band organ that played "current" music from the 1950s. I noticed that this carousel still operates at full speed. Many today have been slowed down for various "nervous Nellie" reasons.
@Jeffers153 "Mary Poppins Medley" and "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Ol' Oak Tree" from roll #14513 arranged by Bob Stuhmer. I've heard this roll many times at Kennywood!
@xGenLovesBroadwayx I love the sound of the band organ as well! Kennywood's Wurlitzer 153 band organ on their 1926 Dentzel carousel is the same way. I've heard a lot of interesting and unique music on it.
You would like it only slightly less than your granddaughter. I still love the carousel. Take a look at my video of the animated animal figurines on the Delacorte Clock in the Central Park Zoo.

I've been on that! I'm seventeen, and I went on it twice, haha! The tunes it plays are possibly the best part.
