This is the Kiddy Kingdom Carrousel at Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. The rides name is spelled with two R's in carousel so I didn't misspell it. It was built in 1921 by William H Dentzel for another park which is currently not known. It was then moved to the Huntington Park/Germantown area of Philadelphia, PA where it remained until being moved to Cedar Point in 1968 where it opperates to this day.
This Carousel has three rows of which the inner and middle rows jump and the outer row are standers. This carousel has a menagerie of animals which means there are other animals mixed in with the horses and chariots. The menagerie includes 27 jumping horses, 11 standing horses, 2 Bears, 1 lion, 1 mule, 2 ostriches, 4 rabbits, 1 tiger, and 2 chariots. It should be noted that Daniel Muller was commissioned to add ornamentation and decorative elements to the horses and other figures. This carousel may also have a Stinson organ with a WurliTzer facade but it's not known for shure what it is.
Thanks go to the National Carousel Association for the information on this carousel.
