Either way, some contend the amusement Mecca is bound to lose. “It’s a symbol,” said Judi Orlando, president of the Astella Devel- opment Corporation, an advocate for the revitalization of the neigh- borhood. “This just means another piece of Coney Island isn’t there.” Orlando, who insisted she was not privy to details of the auction, said rumors began swirling last week that the Department of Parks and Recreation, and other city agencies, would bid on the carousel. “We have no jurisdiction or any capacity to buy it,” said Julius Spiegel, Brooklyn’s commissioner of Parks. “But if the city bought it or if someone donated it to us, we’d make sure it stayed in Coney Island.” Last month, a rough draft of long anticipated development plans for Coney Island indicated that the carousel would play a prominent role in revitalization efforts. Kate Collignon, of the city Economic Development Corpora- tion, said at a May 3 meeting that the ride was slated to move to the boardwalk, where it would act as a centerpiece attraction. Manufactured in Coney Island in 1919, the ride was transport- ed to a park in New Jersey, where it stayed until 1932, when it was installed in an arcade on Surf Avenue at West 12th Street. Over decades, the carousel remained a jewel of the Saltzstein family, which operated the ride until July 2001, when James Mc- Cullough, already a co-owner, purchased the storefront after Choose your doctor. Choose your coverage. Mike Saltzstein, its last operator, died. McCullough could not be reached for comment by press time, but Spiegel and Orlando said that, because of the carousel’s location off the boardwalk and across the street from other rides, it had been a financial drain for years.
