Real question is can I pay to try it! I get car sick if I am not driving...this prolly not the best idea to attempt.

I remember seeing a Wall in Surubaya, Indonesia back in '79. The thing was packed.

I remember seeing the Wall at the Minnesota State Fair back when "Royal American Shows" ran the Midway. They had a dog that sat on the back of one bike, a 1/2 or 3/4 midget & later a Kart. The cable stanctions in the $ bill photo are exactly as I remember. Neat collection of almost antique bikes.

I have seen them both ways, with board walls and a metal sphere,at the old columbus fairgrounds, but only with Motorcycles.

Seems like in the mid to late 40's I saw the drome at the Illinois State Fair. I don't remember any cars or lions. I didn't go to the show, but saw a metal sphere set up at Lincoln City, Oregon a couple of years ago.:)
