The park will feature a variety of entertainment throughout the day, including the return of “Cirque Electric”, and “Gwazi Beats”, a new atmospheric show combining drums, dancers, and stilt-walkers in a pulse-pounding display of music and dance, leaders described in a news release.

The theme park will also bring back the award-winning “Turn It Up!” show at the Moroccan Palace Theater.

The summertime event is coming as the theme park is undergoing a number of enhancements. Over the past several months, the park has brought fresh new looks to popular attractions including Montu, Cheetah Hunt and Stanley Falls Flume, as well as to the park’s Moroccan Village and Pantopia.
