Be seated across funfair's top attraction? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bestride

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'top attraction?' is the definition.
'bestride' can be an answer for 'top' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'attraction?' bit.

'be seated across funfair's' is the wordplay.
'seated across funfair's' becomes 'stride' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'be'+'stride'='BESTRIDE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bestride that I've seen before include "Mount" , "Stand over protectively" , "get leg over?" , "Command" , "Dominate" .)
