Without canopy - 1980s Whittaker Brother flyer
The Big Top Circus Double Ride was released by Whittaker Brothers at the Amusement Trades Exhibition in January 1978. The ride featured two of Whittaker Brothers' "Mini Rides" range, the Mini Monkey Car and Mini Elephant Circus Car, and was available with or without a canopy.

When in motion, the ride played Gavioli Fairground Organ music.

The canopied version was also used as part of Whittakers' three ride module for large arcades and supermarkets.
