Gojira was by far the single largest undertaking the show
has ever presented... The beast was buried up to his neck,
sedated and restrained. The upkeep and feeding costs
were ridiculous.
Year One of the sideshow was the culmination of a lifetime of preparation and planning... Icons and objects from the
world of horror and legend had been discovered and acquired by the show at great expense, including a two-headed
mummy, the Alien Xenomorph, the living head of Frankenstein's monster and the skeleton of Vlad Dracula.
The following years saw a trend towards more mainstream,
horror-related decoration, as the infamous letter from Rafael Meoli
had arrived at this point, causing an upheaval in the family. It was
decided to cease the sideshow aspect until the truth was discovered
about the origin of the letter and the accompanying crates.
