This third Merry-Go-Round at Olentangy Park opened for the 1910 season. It was moved to another part of the park in 1922.[1][2][3]

Description

The Merry-Go-Round was an amusement device where riders would mount wooden sculptures of animals that would simulate a riding movement along a vertical pole for each sculpture. It was operated by electricity, and a central organ provided music.

Injuries

Mrs. Harry Funk received a scalp wound when she was thrown from one of the merry-go-rounds in June 1912. Dr. R. P. Elder dressed the injury after the ambulance from Pletcher-Brown was able to arrive within four minutes.[4]
