The music on the carousel is provided by a 1916 WurlitzerMilitary Band Organ, Style #153, one of the oldest Wurlitzer #153s in existence. It is a four-abreast carousel, meaning that it has four rows of animals, and it travels in a counter-clockwise direction. Over 1,500 lights decorate the ride.
The two notable non-equine animals featured on the ride are a tiger and a lion. These two non-equine animals qualify this carousel as a menagerie carousel. It is one of the three rides at Kennywood with a start/stop bell that dates back to the origin of the ride.
Restoration
Both the carousel and band organ were restored following the 1975 season. The carousel was restored again after the 2004 season, and the band organ after the 2010 season.
