Here is a view of the Circus Vargas elephant ride set up on the midway. There is a similar unit on the Carson & Barnes Show, perhaps other shows as well. During the railroad circus days a Circus never had carnival rides on their midway. Most circus operators refered to carnivals and ride operators as a "disease" and would not have them on their show. But times have changed. The rides are easier to transport, are self contained units and make good money for the show owner. They have now become part of the circus midway.
