1921 Dentzel Carousel
Dorney Park's 1921 Dentzel Carousel features a 66-piece menagerie, two chariots, elaborate art and scrollwork, and an antique Wurlitzer 153 organ that plays favorite American songs. The ride can hold up to 74 guests per cycle. The original site of the carousel was the Northern Illinois Fair Association, where it operated from 1921 through 1931. In 1932, the carousel was purchased by W.A. Sprague and his son, Ronald, from Exposition Amusement Park in Aurora, Illinois. In 1941, Sprague sold the carousel along with his park to Roger Haney. In 1958, the park was sold to Rolland M. Johnson of Haslett, Michigan, and his brother, Lawrence Johnson of Middletown, Ohio. Cedar Point purchased the carousel from the Johnson brothers in 1971, built a new structure to house it, and opened it to the public in the spring of 1972. In 1995, the carousel was transferred to Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom, where it continues to operate today on the Main Midway just inside the Park Entrance.
Legend states that while the ride operated at Cedar Point, the ghost of a woman would take nightly rides on this carousel after the Park closed on one particular military horse designed by Daniel Muller. This horse remained at Cedar Point after the carousel was moved and is not part of the Antique Carrousel at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom.
I usually judge children who choose to ride non-horse animals on the carousel, but at least the Stroot boys have chosen animals based on their fierce hunting skills.
Evan was disappointed that he didn't get to ride the carousel at Golden Gate Park the previous Friday, so we made sure that he got to ride the zoo one on Monday,
The spectacular antique steam Carousel has taken master craftsmen many years to restore. Be dazzled by the immaculate detail, fabulous lights and romantic carnival music that this ride offers.
The centre engine on the ride was originally steam driven ..toot toot, but is now more appropriately operated by electricity.
The facade is decorated with over 100 cut glass mirrors and 800 lights, making it the perfect ride to enjoy when the sun goes down.
Restored vintage carousel in Janzten Beach Shopping Center, which is a sleepy little mall near my house that I like to shop at because it is so quiet and peaceful, which is rare to find. I was there to get new jacket since mine was stolen in the break-in.
