Santa Monica Pier Merry Go Round in motion.

A video of the Santa Monica Pier Merry Go Round (PTC #62) as it operates during a cycle. I hope to make a return visit to this carousel very soon. My very first ride on a carousel was on this merry go round back when I was 3 years old, or in 1961. According to Jim who is the operations manager of the merry go round for the city of Santa Monica, they hope to have both Wurlitzer band organs restored and playing again soon.

I never heard of "Last Chance on the Merry Go Round". Is it on a CD? Thanks for your response.

See my videos of this carousel, it shows the Wurlitzer 146 now in the middle of the carousel

I don't hear the organ in this video?

Thanks for the update on the organs! I knew they bought back the original 146, but I didn't know they still had the 153. Do you know the record album "Last Chance On The Merry-Go-Round"? It was recorded from one of the organs.
