Hersheypark Carousel

[@TheBlackSheCat]

I heard that this particular carousel was in Baltimore City Maryland for a time. It is so very beautiful. Thanks for uploading this for the KZbin community!

TheBlackSheCat Yep and it originally had a Bruder 107 according to Rory Lehman. There are pictures of this carousel in it's original location with it's original band organ (the Bruder) and it's original housing was built in a similar style to Glen Echo Park's carousel housing. No band organ in the middle of the carousel, instead in an alcove on the side of the building. Just like Glen Echo only that the Bruder 107 ended up elsewhere and the Wurlitzer 153(Number 3839) was bought from Marion, Ohio and they cut a hole in the middle of the carousel to fit it in instead of placing it in an alcove. I would've done that had I owned that carousel, they wasted a valuable wooden PTC board by not putting the Wurlitzer 153 in an alcove!

Such a classic ride. Unfortunately this one thing Florida doesn't have anymore. There used to be a Illions carousel with Carmel, Loof, and S&G horses and a working Wurlitzer 153 band organ. Unfortunately, it was sold about a year ago.

So fast... I love this carousel, and the Wurlitzer 153 band organ also! It plays great!

Wonderful ! Hasn’t changed in 60 years ! Bob

[@whoisthisguy724]

@Wurlitzer157 It's been broken since 2008 and they never fix the poor thing. Really makes me sad...

[@khmam]

It got refurbished in 2019.

[@Wurlitzer157]

@woodencoasterfan Yeah, I think that's quite a shame...

[@AquaSerpent9001]

Wurlitzer157. Nah.

[@whoisthisguy724]

@anglerfly Last time i wen't to Kennywood, their organ had no flutes or glockenspiel either! What's up with that?!

[@Wurlitzer157]

@whoisthisguy724 I'm guessing that this was taken late in the season when the organ starts to need repair.

Now 100 years old...

[@TheRascalFlattsfan6]

that is a very pretty carousel. Its big too! I like carousel rides.

[@khmam]

Roll number?

[@CBF1]

13147. Tune is "Dove of Peace".

[@khmam]

@@CBF1 That song has a nice 3/4 melody to it.

[@CBF1]

@@khmam Indeed.

[@whoisthisguy724]

I believe the Wurlitzer 153 is the most common band organ

[@AquaSerpent9001]

whoisthisguy724. Have you listened to the song American Patrol and watched this youtube channel called wurly? He has a wurlitzer 146B band organ and it sounds cool. I like band organs too, but not wasps. Thanks.

[@AquaSerpent9001]

whoisthisguy724. There are plenty of videos of that band organ. It can play tons of songs. Every song we know.

[@CBF1]

It is.

[@EKParksMinecraft]

and now the carousel was already painted

[@carouselgal]

Great carousel...looks identical to Walt Disneyworld's PTC with exception of the outside row horses were kept original and not modified to jump up and down.

[@AquaSerpent9001]

Good video. By the way, i think the band organ sounds good in it:-) :-)

[@whoisthisguy724]

Sadly, the organ sounds very poorly maintained in this video

[@CBF1]

No. It sounds just fine.
