- I have grown up with this antique carousel and it’s Wulirtzer 146-A over the years I went to Casino Pier. It was built in 1910, it was moved to its Casino Pier location in 1932. It miraculously survived Hurricane Sandy back in 2012. However, shortly after the disaster that wiped out the original Casino Pier and Funtown Pier, the carousel was sold to the Seaside Heights Historical Society. It took its last spin on April 7, 2019, then was in the process of restoration up until it reopened to the public on July 3, 2024. The tunes playing are The Century Girl & Lovin Sam’ (The Sheik Of Alabam’)
The last tune on roll 13177 and first tune 13101 respectively as identified by my good old friend @andrewlardieri4110. As for the 146-A, it’s condition as said by him as well is grade A, but it could use some tweaking here and there, but it is much better than it once was before restoration. Also, they only turn it on when the ride is moving for volume reasons as he told me as well.
The band organ is wonderfully tuned! Thanks for sharing your ride on this carousel!
You’re so welcome & yes it is much better than it was, as long as it stays maintained!
Old memories in a nutshell from an old pal, great video!
Thank you so much and yes it sure is, but yet new at the same time!
