Idlewild: New for 2010!

This was annouced today.
The Royal Hanneford Family Circus

Christmas is coming early this year for guests and fans of Idlewild & SoakZone as the Royal Hanneford Family Circus will return during the park’s 2010 season.

The Royal Hanneford Family Circus last visited Idlewild & SoakZone back in 1997 and from the day they left our guests have never stopped asking for the circus to return. We’re thrilled to bring the circus back to Idlewild – summer can’t come fast enough!

The Circus will take place June 12, 2010 – August 22, 2010 with three shows running daily Friday through Monday and two shows daily Tuesday through Thursday. Guests will be able to enjoy the circus under a big top tent behind Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

Family owned and operated, the Royal Hanneford Family Circus is sure to be a special treat for families and children of all ages. Tentative acts and performances include comical clowns, quick change artists, and daring acrobats such as the Flying Fernandes Family performing exciting, top of the tent, aerial acrobatics on a giant rotating Space Wheel and more.

I remember when they last visited Idlewild. I have a rack brochure about it somewhere. I'm surprised they didn't add another ride or two.

I have never been to Idlewild, but have heard a lot about it because I go to Kennywood. For big fans of the park, having this poular show back is a big thing.

I believe they were at the York Fair this past year. If I can remember, they were located in most of the one side of Memorial Hall.
