    Description

    The Greatest Show on Earth was a suspended dark ride taking a tour through scenes depicting various live entertainment.

    History

    The Greatest Show on Earth was originally located in the Casino building, opening as the Wonderful World of Entertainment in 1978 with a different layout. The original scenes were reconfigured with a new ride and building constructed for its move into the main park. The ride closed after 8 years of operation to be replaced by a Burger King restaurant.
