The two carousels
located at
Knoebels
have a
historic past. The first, added to the park in 1976, is a
small merry-go-round
that is located
in
Kiddieland.
This beautiful carousel
was built by Stein & Goldstein in
1910.
The
Grand
Carousel, voted
the best carousel by
Amusement
Today in
2007
was built in or around 1912.
The carousel
was
built by
Kramer Carousel Works and the
frame and 63 hand carved horses were built by
Charles I.
D. Looff.
It was relocated to Knoebels in 1941 from
Riverview
Park in New Jersey.
It
is one of the few carousels remaining with a working ring dispenser.
The
outside
rider who reaches
and
grabs the
brass ring as
they pass,
receives
the cost of the ride in tickets.
The carousel is
equipped with three
band organs
to
provide music for the riders. Your child will
just love the carousel at Knoebels.
