I think small flatrides like this really should get more engineering love. please provide more vids like this. =)

[@LolaliciousSmiley]

This is a nice supplemental format.

[@csbluechip]

Yes. More detail please. :)

[@Porcf81]

I’d love to see more! I’ve always been interested in the inner workings of these two machines

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

I would like to see and learn about the history and evolution of this type of ride. I know it's one of the oldest rides around. If you are able to do that yeah!

Subscribed to learn more about the inner workings of carousels! 🎠

One of those double decker merry go rounds. never seen those before,

[@michaeltaylor1603]

These were initially hand powered. The steam engine made it possible no only to revolve the machine and make the horses "jump", but to move the entire amusement from city to city. Later on electric motors were used. Even the carving of the animals were done with duplicating machines. Master carvers would do the finish work. Great video of the SOUL of the Mid way, themed park, or wherever one of these marvelous machines call home. Why even malls have them.

Gonna miss this ride when and if the park bites the dust at my first home park

[@mamaowlbear3366]

I grew up going to this park, and Great America was my first job. I am sad that it's going to close in a few years :(

That carousel is a beautiful work of art! :) Good video, my guy. ^^

[@jabbabincs]

This would make a great TikTok :)

[@rayizard5687]

It's actually tied with its twin in Illinois as the tallest

[@ChuckE.CheesesIllinois]

I'd love to get similar footage of the Illinois Columbia Carousel like what you got here

[@petemanhorseman3158]

Love your how it works series!

[@paulnovosel9469]

Please explain how The Cuddle Up at Geauga Lake Park worked!

[@AG7-MTM]

I think another good how it works MINI would be for Pipeline: The Surf Coaster. How does the "wave" feature even work?

[@racefreak9488]

Im Missing your 3d printed miniatures to explain the rides🥲

[@FlightDeckRyan]

[@Grant.Miller]
