Video: The Making of the Seabreeze Carousel
By Andrew Lardieri

While Seabreeze Amusement Park is set to open in May of this year (with
pandemic guidelines, unfortunately), here's a little video documentary
explaining how the most well-known carousel that operated at Seabreeze
Park in Rochester (PTC #36), with its blower driven Wurlitzer 165 band
organ (no. 4292) burned to a crisp in 1994 as we all know and how the
current Verbeeck 165 organ and carousel (PTC #31) came into place today.

Sadly, this documentary leaves out the fact of that four of the original
horses from PTC 36 were salvaged from the unfortunate calamity and are
on the carousel to this day. At certain points you can hear various
tracks from the Dynamic Recordings produced CDs of the original 165
Carousel Breezes Vol. I & II. Enjoy!
