Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® is roaring into town with Barnum’s FUNundrumSM, a celebration of P. T. Barnum so big, it is an event 200 years in the making! Hop aboard and go on an unbelievable excursion that brings together performers and characters from exotic countries all over the world - even from places for which there are no geographic borders. From the moment that you arrive, the momentum explodes as The Greatest Show On Earth® comes to life in a way that can only be inspired by the greatest showman who ever lived.
Thrill-seekers may pay for the entire seat, but will only need its edge as a rip-roaring motorcycle troupe performs an incredible feat where seven motorcyclists brave fear and physics in the 16-foot Spherical Miracle. Height-seeking high-wire artists perform atop a wire no wider than your thumb 40 feet in the air, all while at a 45 degree angle. Masters of Musculature use their bodies in the ultimate test to see how far the human body can be pushed in a mind-blowing world of distortion and contortion.
Just as the Ringling Bros.® train keeps traveling from city to city, Barnum’s FUNundrum keeps the energy going with electrifying aerialists, daring acrobatic artists on a two-tiered trapeze and teeter-tottering troupes catapulting high above the arena floor. Each extraordinary act blends thrills and contemporary spectacle to over deliver a heart-racing experience that, until now, was beyond imagination!
And what would Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey be without the funomenal animals leading the way? Barnum’s FUNundrum features fantastic tigers, esteemed elephants, prancing ponies, horses and goats that authenticate the affinity between animals and humans.
At Barnum’s FUNundrum, the funtastic and funbelievable experience answers the conundrum so get your tickets today before this train leaves the station!
How many years in a row now does the blue show continue to feature the "Globe of Death"!!! From the descriptions about this sounds like a reworking of the Over the Top show with a new name.....However there is no mention of the Tom Daughtry??

Fun-un-done...who thinks of these names?
In face, no mention of clowns at all!
No rings, no mention of clowns, perhaps not much longer for elephants. No pegs left upon which to support this circus.
I loved being a part of it in the 80's!
26 clowns, at least 20 showgirls, 20+ elephants, 3 rings, and it was called a circus.
P. T. Barnumdum is rolling in his grave.

It always amazes me, the New York corporate mentality of placing the "registerd" logo next to their title in all of the Ringling press releases.
I'm still trying extremely hard to think of any place anywhere at all with no geographic borders!! - Still, I'm still regularly reading Barnum & Bailey ads from the 1890s where their menagerie contained every animal in the world or kangaroos 2 or 3 feet taller than men - so I should not be too surprised to read that. But it would be nice to see "real" circus mentions
Don't you think this is a play on the word CONUNDRUM which means riddle or enigma?
I have long since given up on which unit is which. It used to be so simple, Gunther was on one and Hugo on the other. Then later Bello was on one and he wasn't on the other.
I'm wondering if there was a warehouse full of stuff from the last show that featured the BARNUM name prominently ...and this show is a chnce to hawk it.
Will daniel do the tigers back?
Yes Rafo will be back with the tigers and Jenny Vidbel's Ponies and Mixed act
THey should take the name Greatest Show on Earth off their ads.The shows are bland at best.NOt worth the price of admission.
What are they carrying on the trains?Must be empty.Youd think that with the shows getting smaller and smaller there would be no need for all those cars.
I guess the family will milk the last dime and dignity out of a once fantastic show.
I guess in an age of mediocrity its to be expected!!
