For me, the rides themselves aren't really the point of this endeavor.... it is the journey to these rides that I will be cherishing the most!

They did an incredible restoration job on the animals and horses, but unfortunately the new driving mechanical motor and drive shaft is too slow. When it operated at Playland at the beach from 1913-1972 it was one of the fastest merry go rounds running in excess of 22mph. It also had 4 operating band organs that were positioned on the inside of the riding platform next to the inner panels that protect the motor and drive shaft
This is the very same 1905 Charles ID Looff carousel that operated at Whitney's Playland at the Beach in San Francisco from 1913-1972
