VR 360 Looff Carousel On Ride POV Santa Cruz Beach Board Walk 2024 06 21

The Looff Carousel is located near the Riverside Avenue entrance to the park. The carousel has 73 unique horses and two chariots or seats, and is a 'pure' carousel as all the horses were carved by one master carver. The Looff Carousel is one of six remaining intact in the United States.

The carousel includes a brass ring dispenser. Riders on the outside jumping horses can reach out and try to grab rings which then get tossed at the target which is a large clown's mouth. It was originally manually operated but was mechanized around 1950. It is one of only twenty ring dispensers still operating in the world. Sometimes, riders keep the rings to remember their visit.

The carousel also has three band organs: the original 342-pipe Ruth & Sohn band organ from 1894, a Wurlitzer 165 band organ from 2007, and a Wurlitzer 146 band organ from 2011.
