Like the carousel at Six Flags New England, this historic ride has the potential to be great, but it is not. As at SFNE, this ride looks badly in need of a refurbishment. It also looked weirdly unauthentic in places, such as the concrete-like floor which I assume was wood originally. The informational placard spoke of a fine band organ and there was a bank organ sitting silently on the ride, but the park played only piped-in music when I was there. Finally, it is a minor point, but the placard says that it originally was in "a park in Massachusetts." For those of us who enjoy history, why not tell us what park that was.
