Description
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this centerpiece of Steeplechase Plaza at Luna Park showcases the artistry of four distinct masters of Coney Island style craftsmanship: William F. Mangels, Marcus Charles Illions, Charles Carmel, and August Wolfinger. While the ride eventually transitioned to an electric motor, it remains a highly preserved piece of amusement history. The indoor setting offers a nostalgic ride for all ages, along with a modest bit of air conditioning to help visitors escape the outdoor heat.
