Tracy and his Trunks

Tracy and his team fabricated many large elephant stunts back in the day, most of which were used in his Jungle Land and Lost River rides and often towered over ten feet. While some “Jumbos,” as Tracy called them, were used for interior décor, most were built for outdoor and wet conditions as they were made with Celastic, a lightweight, unbreakable, and weatherproof fabric that he utilized previously to build his props while working at Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Check out a photo of his secretary, Cornelia Couch, checking out one of his creations circa 1962, and a few other relics.
