Central Park Carousel

The original 1871 carousel was powered by a mule or horse under its platform, signaled to start and stop by the operator tapping his foot.

[1][3][5][6] The carousel was renovated in 1982 by the Central Park Conservancy from a donation from Alan and Katherine Stroock, with the surrounding landscape restored in 1991.

In statements released as part of the Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign, the Carousel grossed $1.72 million between 2013 and the end of 2015.

[2] The carousel has a 52-keyless A. Ruth & Sohn Model 33 Band Organ playing waltzes, marches, and polkas.

This one is featured in the Marvel TV series The Punisher (though filming took place at the Forest Park Carousel in Queens).
