The last time I heard one of those Band Organs....well I heard a pipe organ last month, but the last time I truly heard a "classic" style was at the 1900 Park Fare. Truly a long while for me! (I like getting a glimpse of this, I like vintage machinery!)

A classic merry-go-round is something that you really don't appreciate until you see a new one! Remember, there's only a limited number of these babies to go around. The expenses of making, (and likewise purchasing), a full-sized band organ, hand-carved, ornate, carousel would almost never be "justified" today. Really the only way that a park as new as KI gets one is if another park closes... and one did for KI, kind of.

KI had one (and recordings from it are still available), but what happened to it is a mystery to some. The facia for it was on the carousel long after the mechanics were removed.

All indications are that it will be returning this season, at least if a tweet from Don early in the offseason is to be believed: http://twitpic.com/do971a
