Capell Bros Carnival
Posted By thecircusblog on December 1, 2011
This photo was taken from the free circus stage, 1954? In this photo can be seen top right corner, the Spitfire ride. This ride was considered a major attraction on carnivals. It later was converted into a Paratrooper by the Siebrand carnival. The Siebrand’s actually invented the Paratrooper. Their mistake was they did not put a patent on the design. This opened up the market to the professional ride manufactures. Hence hundreds were manufactured and are quite common to this day.
