She is the only one of her kind in existence. A full-size, four abreast, all jumping Spillman Engineering Carousel. Those of us who grew up beneath her pavilion just called her the Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round. No fiberglass fillies here. This galloping cavalcade of hand-carved creatures are original wood, long-haired tails, bejeweled and intricately detailed with flowers, flourishes and flaming eyes. Some of the prancing ponies date to the 1880s. A restoration effort has begun by current owners Rosemary and Warren Deasy, and while in full operation daily, you can hear the mighty Stinson Military Band Organ play live every weekend with over 1,500 selections available from its organ roll library. There is nothing like it on the West Coast. Tickets are only a buck. If you smile big enough, Warren will send you around again. -- Joe King
