• The never-before-seen triangular highwire and the crisscross flying trapeze add layers of complexity to traditional circus acts, allowing fans to see more action and more performers simultaneously.
• A high-energy BMX bike stunt scene, where bikes and riders flip high above the arena on ramps and trampolines is an adrenaline rush for the crowd.
• Live music performances add a vibrant energy to the show and encourages audience participation.
• The Double Wheel of Destiny pushes the limits with four daredevils executing daring leaps and somersaults on two spinning apparatuses, 30 feet above the ground while moving at incredible speeds.
• Fans won’t want to miss Wesley, the One Wheel Wonder, a Guinness World Record-setting performer riding the world’s tallest unicycle at 34.6 feet.
• Human juggling, where a performer flips and twists high and fast in the air, propelled by his partner’s feet—a must-see sight.

"Over the past two years, we’ve innovated and deepened the connection between performers and the audience, creating an unforgettable experience,” says Juliette Feld Grossman, CEO and Producer of The Greatest Show On Earth. “At the heart of every Ringling show is a sense of wonder and authenticity.
