For parks with water attractions, show skiing offers a thrilling and high-energy spectacle. Skiers perform synchronized routines, jumps, and tricks on the water, captivating audiences and adding an exciting, action-packed experience to the park’s atmosphere.
Pre-Show/Street Kites
Pre-Show/Street kites are an exciting visual spectacle that can be performed in open spaces within the park.

These kites are especially effective in areas with wide promenades or near the entrances to create an inviting and whimsical atmosphere that sets the tone for a fun day at the park.

Juggling acts are versatile and can be performed in various locations throughout the park.

Penny Farthing riders bring a vintage charm to the park, evoking a sense of nostalgia and whimsy. These performers, riding old-fashioned bicycles, can travel around the park, interacting with guests and adding a unique visual element to the environment. Penny Farthings are particularly effective in areas themed around history or adventure, contributing to the immersive experience.
Stilts
Stilt walkers are perfect for drawing attention and adding a touch of the extraordinary to any area of the park.

Stilt walkers can interact with guests, pose for photos, and participate in parades, making them a popular attraction for both children and adults.
LED/Glow-In-The-Dark Performances
LED performers are ideal for evening entertainment, lighting up the park with vibrant, glowing costumes and props.
