The pipe you're referring to is the top of interior tent or canopy (the carousel is held together like a tent) and does not extend through the roof of the shrine what had a bulb on it. The steam engine during my tenure was air compressor driven as belts and retrofit, no steam no calliope (pipe organ) - through 1982. Furthermore, there was an 8-track tape player inside the center closet behind mirrors featuring the music overhead on speakers.

The park entrance was where the games section was-is just before the merchandise tents - highly unlikely you could see the fort because of trees removed for Rolling Thunder. Highly unlikely. They blocked the merchandise tents from Dream Street and made the games section - a brand-new venue - and you had to go around the tents and through it now by order of Six Flags management - no fort to be seen, too deep within.
