I am guessing none would know what it is to be honest. I know of 4-5 antique carousels here in StL and no brass rings.

You're right so far. I have no idea what it is.

If you were on the outside horses you would lean out and try to pull a brass ring as you went by.

Correct gentlemen, There would be a dispenser that had brass rings, if you could "grad the brass ring" on your pass by, one of 2 things could happen. You would receive a prize (usually a free ride) or there would be some sort of target/ game to throw the rings, which would also result in some sort of prize.

Here is a YouTube video showing a carousel with the rings.

We all know about Half Dollar Holler going in this winter. Have any of the current "citizens" heard or seen anything else going on at the park over winter? Anything getting touched up, remodeled, fixed or fancied up? Winter is when the sparkle and shine gets added to SDC, so things are all ready to go again in mid-March. Zephon, Copper, Steamfreak, Doc Speleo, Mr. HeHaw, and others...I'm talkin' to you! Whattttttts up?

I know the Hospitality House is getting a remodel, the floor is being torn up and replaced, new lighting and other things.

Not only that, Copper, but I heard that some of the PTB want to get rid of the murals.  Talk about causing an uproar if that happens!  Let's pray that it doesn't.

No Way!  That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a long time.  I hope you are wrong.

I would just be happy if this remodel helps the HH become less of a bottle neck during the mass exodous at the end of the night.

In all honesty, If the cave tour had it's own seperate entrance building just off the square instead of in the Hospitality House itself, that would free up a lot of space and would help with the traffic.
