Did you see the splash page of MousePlanet -- the article "Forgotten Disneyland Heroes"?
This engineering team did many rides of the original Disneyland, including the Mad Hatter Tea Party spinning tea cups.

... which reminded me ...

Q. What is the status of the center hand-turn-able wheel, nowadays?

Namely, is it in the "slow" (speed governor) condition, or the original fast "no limit" condition?

I think its in the no limit mode because I can get it going pretty quick without that much work on my own.
