1) ? 2) St. Gertrude/ Onward, Christian Soldiers 3) God Save the Queen/ My Country 'Tis of Thee (Given the context, I'm guessing the latter) 4) Battle Cry of Freedom 6) Reveille

This carousel is still owned by Stoner Carousel but no plans for it to operate again.

Key phrase; "IF the money can be found." Moving, restoring and re-erecting an antique wood carousel is a multi-million dollar operation. Many groups and individuals over the decades have purchased a carousel intending to re-open it for nostalgic reasons. But, like the Rocky Springs Carousel, it's an issue of hearts & emotions going before reality. Reality is several million dollars are needed, and sadly, like has happened with so many beautiful, hand-carved wooden carousels, they were sold piecemeal since the value is significantly higher that way.

I helped in restoring this magnificant Dentzel beast back in 1978, at Rocky Springs Park, as well as all the other great classic rides. We had hoped to restore The Wildcat roller coaster, but, unfortunately the Three Mile Island disaster ended that. Tourism in Lancaster County fell to an all time low and the park couldn't afford to stay open any longer. What a Shame!! Thanx 4 posting this beautiful footage. To see where this carousel came from, search "Rocky Springs Saturday Night". I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I don't know why with all the money raised to bring this carousel back WHY it doesn't go back in the NEWLY REFURBISHED Carousel room at the park where it rightfully belongs. Who is in charge of this Carousel Committee and what do tnhey plan on doing? Keeping them in storage forever? Wouldnt life be way easier and cheaper to take the carousel back to the park?

COOL! The band organ is a Gavioli playing Wurlitzer 165 rolls. It's a shame that Dollywood replaced it with their new carousel.

That Gavioli is the inspiration for the Wurlitzer 157

I'm a TN local, and I agree, it's pretty unfortunate that the carousel was replaced with a fiberglass Chance.
