Carousel

This is the Looff Carousel at Riverfront Park in Spokane. Antique wooden horses and REALLY annoying music for the people that work there. I couldn't do that.


My earliest memory is on this, and it was really really cool to go back and ride it after 14 years. The kid in white that I keep following is my brother, Jeran. He's a cutie. :P

I LOVE carousel band organ music. I ran a large carousel at a small park in Fresno CA for years, playing CD's of it all day long. I have many different organ CD's and many different songs. That's a FAST carousel! Likely 10-12 MPH!

@koasterkav Yes, it's definitely the fastest I've been on. It's my favorite part of Spokane =)

Annoying music?

I suppose you haven't heard an actual carousel organ.

It STILL plays B.A.B. music sadly. That's why they still don't play the organ.

@koriina There are a few ones as fast or faster than that one. Kennywood Park in Pittsburgh PA has a big Dentzel that goes 15 MPH. I rode it nearly 20 years ago. You can really feel lateral G forces sitting on the outside horses.
