| A carousel had been in operation at Central Park since 1871. The original carousel was powered by a blind horse and mule. The current carousel was manufactured by the Stein & Goldstien Company of Brookyln, for a trolley terminal outside Coney Island. The carousel was moved to its present location when a fire destroyed the previous one in the in the fall of 1950. This carousel features the largest hand carved figures ever constructed. 
The outside horses are 3/4 the size of an actual horse, A Ruth Sohn band organ playing Wurlitzer 150
music roUs provides the music and is original to the carousel. To this day the carousel and its figures
are hand painted.
