Thanks to all these wonderful people who are saving these amazing machines for future generations to enjoy. Lets contribute to their continued existence by taking our children and riding them ourselves.!

In 1980, I ran the Christmas carousel at Santaland near Cherokee, N.C.. It was so much fun. It was pure joy to watch children and parents ride. As far as I know it's still there and running. This documentary was so beautiful. I found myself brought to tears, watching. All the best to Jane's family, friends and co-hearts. What a treasure! ❤❤❤

Pure magic and joy! Thanks for sharing!

Thank You For Saving this 1922 Original Carousel, Jane & Family & Restorers, God Bless You all for Buying it & Restoring It to its Former Glory, RIP Jane This will always be your Carousel such beautiful Art Work & Details that go into this Carousel, Carousels are Definitely 1 of my Favorite Rides Roller coasters are my Top favorite its sad that Someone started the fire in the Park in 1984 I hope the Perpetrators are caught for Arson there behavior angers me It'd Disgusting that they tried To Ruin an Historic Carousel omg.

My grandfather was one of the owners of Idora Park. I loved the carousel as a kid! So wonderful to see it and can’t wait to visit one day soon. Thanks so much for saving it!!

Wow, what a beautiful little film and remarkable story. I don't remember the first time I rode this carousel at Idora Park, because I was probably being held on one of the horses by my mother. Years later, a short bike ride allowed me to work summers at Idora Park, my very first job and the first paycheck I ever saw (an actual paycheck! I was impressed). Operating rides in Kiddyland at first, I eventually worked my way up to operating the carousel, probably the best job in the park. Side note: I really miss those French fries (world's best by far). I can still smell them like it was yesterday. Love this little film and big congrats to the filmmakers and to the family of Jane Walentas. What a beautiful and wonderful thing you've all done.

As a Youngstown native, thank you so much for sharing the story!

That's a man who loved his wife. Hope he's doing ok, and lives with the gratitude that finding a love like that is worth more than the whole neighborhood he built.

Refreshing story...Its like seeing an old friend that moved away and is now enjoying their new home ..Thank You for caring for her New York she is your treasure now..We are fortunate to be able to visit it again..

Thank you for saving this carousel. I rode it many times as a kid, and was so thankful to be able to ride it again in New York. Your work has helped it bring joy to new generations of the young and young at heart.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. We just had our Carousel in Hydro, Okla. Restored. Oldest Free Fair.

I love this so much. That carousel was the absolute best growing up in Y-town, OH. Nothing but wonderful memories of Idora Park. It's remarkable how Jane lovingly restored our beloved carousel. My kids and I visited last year and got to ride it! First time since I was a kid. I think I cried happy tears the whole time. Words can't describe its beauty. When the girl in the documentary says it's magic, she's 100% right! My son just commissioned an artist to paint a portrait of Jane's Carousel as a surprise for my birthday. The painting is so beautiful, I wish I could post a photo here. I'm sorry to hear that Jane passed. My sincere condolences. We are so grateful to her and David for saving our childhood memories. 💖

Thank you Jane and David for working on this carousel for so long and bring it to NYC and sharing with us! The glass box is so iconic that even the Apple store on 5th Ave uses a glass box too. Hope that Jane would be at a better place now. I appreciate you. I first saw Jane's Carousel in the movie "Nerve" (2016)

I grew up riding this carousel. Thank you so much for saving it.

Beautiful doc! Happy to have had a small role! This inspired me to visit and take another ride this week while in Brooklyn. Thank you, Jane, for your vision, passion & bringing so much joy & magic to so many people!! - Chris Rutushin/MVHS, Stewart Media Archives Center

Beautiful tribute to the incredible work Jane and David did. I grew up riding this in Ytown and now get to visit it with two daughters in NYC. Thank you.

Thank you for saving it. I am from Youngstown Ohio and have beautiful memories of the carrousel

Glad to see one of Y-town's icons preserved. To the Walentas family, Thank you so much...May one day i'll get a chance to ride it again

Very cool....rode this as a kid, and I'd like to get up to NY and ride it again....Thank you Jane for heading up such an enormous task and seeing it through...

Miss those small parks - and especially Idora Park!

Wonderful story

Thank you so very much for the tremendous accomplishment you have achieved. Being a life long resident of Youngstown, I have fond memories of my days at Idora park. It was such a joy to have the park and it's history live on thru your work.

I remember what it looked like before Idora closed. Visited NY and rode it multiple times, and shocked to see the detail of the restoration.
