The wheels on the bus roll down the track…at least they might during our intense bus demolition! Join us for the time of your life at the Big Butler Fair School Bus Demolition. Nothing can compare to the sights and sounds of smashing, crashing and bashing school buses. Sparks will fly and smoke will fill the air when our field of demolition pros hits the dirt.

Crunch. That’s the sound of metal crimping like an accordion when two buses come head to head. Crash! Bang! The sounds of tired engines giving out. Demolition is the name and destruction is the game when a fleet of yellow buses circles at high speeds.

Which will be the last one standing when the dust settles? Will your favorite bus emerge as “maddog” of the competition? When it’s all said and done, these buses won’t be taking Little Timmy to school, and only one can be crowned champ of the track!

Our drivers know all the tricks to take out their competition, so this is sure to be a heart-racing show! Don’t miss out on the infamous school bus demolition derby, hosted by the Big Butler Fair. See you at the derby!
