Circus World


The Circus World Amusement Park in central Florida was filled with original circus artifacts. Most of the wagons were from the RBBB show however, where they went after the 1956 closing until they arrived at Circus World is somewhat of a mystery. A couple were found at Goodman's Junkyard in Sarasota. A couple came from private ownership. RBBB rail cars were also there and very well documented in articles by Bob MacDougall.
Two wagons that keep coming up in the conversations are the Hagenbeck-Wallace cookhouse wagon # 54 that was bought in 1981 from Jerry Booker and the RBBB generator wagon # 11 or perhaps # 111. Does anyone have any photos of these two wagons at Circus World? Would you be willing to share them with us? You can email me at tigeract@thecircusworld.com
