Most of the ones I've seen at fairs have been similar - but different. The ones I've seen have usually been on a converted wagon chassis with back to back bench seats and a foot rest that was a few inches off the ground. That made it easier to step on and off. They usually had a awning type of covering to keep the sun or rain off you as you traveled. Somewhere on the wagon would be a poster or banner displaying the name of the outfit providing the service. They traveled at a walking pace so you just got on and off when you wanted. Sometimes they would have a "Donations" jar so you could help out if you were so inclined.

You can always make it as a single wagon and say that you are making it safer to handle in a large crowd?
