A Big buy

[hosscat]

Okay, for a while no I've been looking into the Kings Island organ, the organ itself has been discussed before but not an actual buy thread,

The organ is a 157 Wurlitzer playing 165 rolls originally from a park in New Jersey.

It was in the Paul Eakins collection and then sold to Taft Broadcasting in the early 70's.

The facade was originally gold and red but the White and brown seemed to look better on the carousel. (Well, that's my opinion)

The organ was removed in 2007 when Dick Kinzel cut the organ contract with the Stinson organ company, the organ was moved into storage for 2007 at Kings Island and never returned to the carousel sense.

Today the organ is probably not in working condition anymore unless it is in a safe environment which I highly doubt.

The organ is rumored to be in Flight of Fear, I always try to look for it while riding, also some parts of King Cobra are in there.

So does anyone know who to contact so I can acquire this organ?

I wouldn't pay much if any of the condition, and I want to spend the money on maintaining the organ.

I think a donate would be very nice or even if the park still wants the organ, I could advise them on how to maintain it,

I just want it playing again, and again I know the organ has already been discussed but I just want to know.

Thanks!

I cannot imagine Mr. Kinzel, Cedar Fair or Kings Island selling the organ. The publicity that could result from such a sale would not be good. And that's assuming the organ doesn't currently reside in the collection of a member of the Board of Directors of Cedar Fair, or a friend of one of the members. I'd like to think that would not happen. As to who to contact, I'd think the park's General Manager, Mr. Greg Scheid, would be a good start...
