The man whose father managed Steeplechase park for over four decades told me that circus acts were always the most popular attractions. A great number of circus luminaries performed in the rings at Sea Lion Park, the successor Luna Park, Dreamland and Steeplechase, not to mention the Coney Island Hippodrome Co. in 1908, various Bostock-owned and presented ventures, side show personalities, etc. RBBB was preceded by an extraordinary array of talent, whether they realized it or not.
