BARABOO, Wis. - Tucked alongside the Baraboo River, beneath the big top sits hallowed ground to anyone who’s ever loved the circus.

Opening day at Circus World brings thrills and some jitters.
"It’s exciting," performer Ian Laidlaw said. "It’s a little nerve-wracking always at first."
"Blast Off to Circus World" is debuting to more than a thousand people in the same city the Ringling Brothers once called home.
"I really just have to zone in and just do what I know," Laidlaw said ahead of the opening show.
In order for the big performance to happen, a lot goes on behind the scenes.
