A photo for the theme of
what on earth is going on? in the Vintage Photos Theme Park.
This photo shows nine or more people who are riding in a open vehicle that's popping a wheelie (see a
cropped version for a better view of the contraption). Painted on a wall in the background are the words "Missouri [Mu]le." What in the world is happening here?
After some searching, I learned that the Missouri Mule, "known for its strength, hardiness, intelligence and even temper," is the
state animal of Missouri. In addition, I found an Ultimate Rollercoaster article about
Harry G. Traver, a roller coaster designer and founder of the Traver Engineering Company, who created the "Missouri Mule," an amusement park ride also known as "Bumping Autos." Could this be a picture of the Missouri Mule ride?
