THE BIG BUS barely fits into the Fireball Tim Garage…
ZOIKS! How could anyone forget such a stellar movie like THE BIG BUS in 1976?? Actually, it was pretty awful, but the CYCLOPS was AWESOME! It even had a Bowling Alley on board!!! Check it…
THE BIG BUS was a nuclear-powered behemoth named ‘CYCLOPS” that went non-stop from New York City to Denver and plagued by disasters due to the machinations of a mysterious group allied with the oil lobby. When the driver is injured… a washed up, down on his luck (but used to be great guy) and who used to be engaged to the inventor’s daughter… is brought in to drive the giant bus which includes a one lane swimming pool and a one lane bowling alley, all hell breaks loose!
Sadly, the Bus was eventually scrapped after filming. (Sad Face)
But today’s Fireball SKETCH ponders a younger, faster BUS!! (I couldn’t fit the whole Bus on the Fireball Page) and it neeeeeeds to be built for a NEW MOVIE! But for now, check out the awesome MERCH in the GARAGE!! This is the coolest one yet!!
