The Flying Carousel of the Delta Breeze was grounded more than a year ago thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, which also prevented a planned 25th anniversary celebration of the pedal-powered carousel in Central Park last fall.
But that shut down came with a silver lining: time for the Davis Schools Foundation to make some much-needed refurbishments.

A restoration of Seaside Heights’ beloved antique carousel will not be complete before Fall 2022, according to officials of the Shore resort town and the Ohio-based firm that will do most of the restoration work.
A pavilion to house the 111-year-old carousel now under construction along the boardwalk is tangible evidence of progress in the borough’s years-long, multi-million dollar effort to acquire the 111-year-old merry-go-round, restore it inside and out, and then operate it as a public amenity emblematic of the borough’s history and revival as a family-friendly resort.
