In the 1970's Rod Link, who was running the Olson Shows, retired the Olson title and ran the carnival as "Link Shows". It just wasnt the same though and at the end it was nothing like the heydey of Olson. I can remember the awesome midway of the late 60's early 70's at the Ill. STate Fair with Olson Shows. The age of the high-capacity spectacular was just dawning and the spectaculars of the day (Sky Wheel, Skydiver, Zyklon, etc.) were the minority and the standard majors were the majority. Perhaps there were even more rides in total than nowdays counting all those majors,and each delivered its own thrill. Add to that a good amount of shows , including 10 in 1's, girl shows, plenty of grind shows, and of course many dark rides and funhouses. The big capacity mega spectaulars are here now to stay, but I'd go back to those old days in a heartbeat!
