HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The carnival fairgrounds of RodeoHouston are taking shape!

On Monday, SkyEye flew over NRG Park as the familiar amusement rides were being placed in the spaces between stadium and the Astrodome.

The 2020 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is already boasting more than 80 rides for cowboys and cowgirls to hop on.

There are returning rides coming back to the fairgrounds, including the trademark carousel, grand wheel and sling shot. The "New York New York" ride is making its debut this year.
