The MOST requested carousel by far. It took forever to try and explain its story in a way that an average person can understand!

Personally, I like the term carousel much better. It sounds formal and correct.

ANYTHING carousel related just finds me, it's a little crazy. It's also crazy that the herschell spillman motorized carousel horse is not an original idea.

Carousel History Inspires a Road Trip! 🚙 💨

Last weekend we were excited to welcome JD Foltz, and his friends Isaiah Gingrich and Jaxon Woleslagle! They traveled from Hershey and York, PA to document the history of PTC #9 here at the Carousel at Pottstown.

JD took a ride on the hippocampus while filming a special video for his girlfriend, Diana, who lives in Colorado. Diana is a dedicated carousel enthusiast and is on a mission to preserve carousel history and spark interest in carousels across the country through her social media pages.

You can follow her journey and passion for amusement history on her new page and popular Instagram with over 10,000 followers!

We love knowing that the story of PTC #9 is being shared far beyond Pottstown—and helping to keep carousel history spinning for future generations! We can’t wait to see what Diana puts together about the Carousel at Pottstown! ♥️🎠

Most people think that carousels are only for children...but you'd be surprised.

Most people don't realize how carousels were just seen as "equiptment" and not much more than that.

There's nothing better than Kennywood Memories, and The Kennywood Carousel has spun millions of memories around. ❤️
