The 1930's and 1940's was a really bad time for Cedar Point. The world was in a state of depression. The park really didn't have money to make general improvements because the guest didn't have a lot of money to go to the park. During this time, park attendance dropped to an all time low. It was Cedar Point's 1906 ballroom that kept the park going. In 1939 Cedar Point renovated it and turned it into an Art Deco style dance hall.

Midway Carousel was added to Cedar Point in 1946. During the 1940's, very few things were added to Cedar Point. When the ride first opened, Cedar Point didn't own their rides. Anything added to Cedar Point before the 1960's was owned by an outside party. The park would rent space to people who would run their attractions. 
Picture
Picture
The ride was placed at the end of the midway. Over the years the park would expand all around the ride.

The ride was brought to Cedar Point in 1946 by the Holzapfel family. The Holzapfel family would operate a few rides at Cedar Point over the years. The Holzapfel family was from Sandusky Ohio. They would operate the ride until they sold it to Cedar Point in 1963.

On Wednesday, September 1, 1993 Cedar Point announced it was building Raptor. To make room for Cedar Point's 12th roller coaster Midway Carousel would need to be relocated. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Midway Carousel closed in September 1993. The ride was carefully taken apart and began its restoration.  It would take 8 months for the park to restore the ride. The restoration cost $250,000. The building was not moved with the ride because it would take too much work to fix it up then it would to build a new one. 
Picture
Midway Carousel would be moved to the former Sky Wheel location that had been empty since Sky Wheel left in 1980.

Midway Carousel reopened on Saturday, May, 7, 1994 in its new location.
