Abstract
A carrier is provided for transporting a carnival ride track and carnival vehicle, without the necessity of dismantling and removing the vehicle from the track during transportation. In the use of the carrier, a carnival vehicle, such as a toy train, remains elevated during highway transportation of the carrier. A section of amusement ride track, is incorporated into a trestle portion. When in use, the carrier lowers the track to the ground so that the carnival vehicle, such as a toy train for carrying passengers, can move about a designated track configuration, such as a "figure eight" track design. The carrier includes a retractable suspension system designed to lower the trailer holding the track completely to the ground level, and to raise it for travel over the road.
