The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey train rolls into Orlando tonight. Fantastic photo opportunities will be available tonight as the Ringling Bros. pachyderm performers parade to the Amway Arena. The all-new 140th edition of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, Barnum's FUNundrumSM, debuts in Orlando this week for seven performances January 14-17.

The Ringling Bros. animal performers will unload at 7:30pm and the walk will begin at 8:00pm (walk time subject to change). Animals will unload at the railroad tracks at the intersection of Hughey Avenue and Gore Street. This pachyderm parade will travel west on Gore Street, north on Division Avenue, east on South Street, north on Garland Avenue, then turn west onto Amelia Street to the Amway Arena.

Spanning more than three centuries, generations of children of all ages have relished the arrival of The Greatest Show On Earth to their hometown. Barnum's FUNundrumSM is a celebration of P. T. Barnum so big, it is an event 200 years in the making! From the moment guests 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. Guests can 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. Thrill-seekers may pay for the entire seat, but will only need its edge as a rip-roaring motorcycle troupe braves fear and physics in the 16-foot Spherical Miracle. Height-seeking high-wire artists perform 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 as each extraordinary act blends thrills and contemporary spectacle to over deliver a heart-racing experience that, until now, was beyond imagination!

All seats are reserved, and tickets are available at www.ticketmaster.com, at any Ticketmaster Retail Centers, by calling 800.745.3000, or at the Amway Arena box office. For group ticket sales and information, call 407.8492098
