Carnival Rides and Side Shows - End of an Era


This movie gives a very good pictorial, action history of 1967 carnival rides
and side shows. Most of
this disappeared a few years later. Of particular interest are the motorcycle
riders warming up before their rides inside their circular, wooden drome
called "Drome of Death" or 'Wall of Death". Unfortunately, the actual
daredevil motorcycle ride not shown in movie but can be seen on youtube.com.
A fun movie. This motorcycle show was dangerous and there were injuries and deaths along the way.

The footage of the actual carnies gave this film a certain compelling authenticity.
