Carousel Music Only During Rides or Continuous
By Gordon Ramsey 

When the Wurlitzer Style 160 "Mammoth" military band organ operated
at Joyland Park, in Wichita, Kansas, it ran continuously from park
opening to closing.  It was the only music in the park.  It drove the
ride operators crazy, but the park seemed dead if the organ stopped.

Joyland Park is probably closed forever, but the organ is being
completely restored by Damian Mayes.  He does not yet know where the
organ will be used when finished.
