| Sadly, this carousel is in dire need of restoration. The paint in peeling, there are quite a few animals that appear to have had broken legs repaired only with a good dose of wood glue. The reason it's so sad is that all of these animals are, or were, quite beautiful when they had a good coat of paint. Perhaps the economy will turn around and this carousel will get the TLC it truly needs, and deserves. I would love to come back when restoration has been completed, in order to see the difference, which I'm sure will be quite dramatic. Don't get me wrong, the carousel is still worth seeing, and the building which houses it is very unique, typical 1970's architecture. The entire amusement park is in nearly the same condition. The entire amusement park could use a good coat of paint and a few caring hands to apply it. |
