What A Great Entrance !
On the inside were rides such as Whirlpool, The Human Roulette Wheel, Human Pool Table,
The Giant Slide and a three tiered carousel
called El Dorado.

The Ferris Wheel at Steeplechase.
______________________________________________________ Tilyou built an enclosed two-acre
glass-n-steel pavilion as the centerpiece
of his Steeplechase Park.
Rain or shine..
the crowds came during the summer.

Steeplechase Combination Badge

He was a horse thief down in Waco.

Steeplechase Park Badge

These badges were tickets
and they were punched for
admission to the mechanical,
(wooden) Steeplechase horse ride.

Steeplechase track -
This is an overview of the mechanical horse track. The horse race ended at the Blow-Hole Theater.
But their fun wasn't over yet...
A strong gush of air came from the floor and people
were chased by a clown with an electric paddle.
