The Musik Express has been one of my very favorites since the first time that I ever rode one. We had one similar to this one in New Orleans at the now defunct Pontchartrain Beach. It had similar artwork (the girls dancing, guys playing the instuments) in fact the two end girls are identical to ones that were on the New Orleans ride. Its centerpiece was a brightly colored crown. The Musik Express that is in Dixie Landin in Baton Rouge looke identical to the one in Kennywood. I especially love when the attendants allow you to go forwards and backwards. I love many rides but this one will always be my favorite. Its nice to see that Kennywood has kept theirs intact with the original artwork, colors, etc. because this ride loses some of its charm when the bright colors and lights are missing.
