Enjoy the charm of riding a genuine antique wooden horse on this classic and timeless ride. Kings Island’s magnificent carousel was manufactured by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, Philadelphia, Pa., in 1926 and is the oldest ride in the park. It is one of approximately 90 carousels built by the company from 1904 to 1934. It was officially labelled #79, and is among the 11 rides that remain that opened with Kings Island in 1972. During the 1937 flood in Cincinnati, some of the horses were swept away, but rewards were offered for them, and parts were returned from as far away as Memphis, TN. The 48 hand-carved horses have been restored several times since then. The carousel’s band organ was built by Wurlitzer in 1918. It was purchased by Kings Island in 1972 for the park’s new and valuable old carousel.

Wurlitzer Duplex Orchestral Organ Style #157 A.K.A. The Queen of Kings Island. I wish Cedar Fair would take more care and restore this band organ.

It was sounding really good earlier in the summer. I was the guy who got it working. This winter, I plan on doing more repairs, and of course, a tuning, it will sound VERY good!

+William Coldiron Not exactly. I offered to fix it earlier in July as a volunteer. Kentucky Kingdom has a band organ, and I think the fair company owns one of their own. In this video, the roll it switches to at 7:05 is not tracking correctly, I need to get back to the park. I think it would be sort of ironic if the Christmas rolls it used to play during Winterfest play during Halloween Haunt!

+William Coldiron The Kentucky Kingdom band organ is having trouble with sticky keys. The Kentucky State Fair band organ is owned by North American Midways Entertainment; which has been at the Indiana State Fair (event occurs during the KY State Fair) for the past 2 years. Should be back at the KY State Fair 2016.
