I'm so glad Busch Gardens has made an effort to return to themed shows. It's not the Broadway-level production of Iceploration or Katonga, but at least it actually looks like it belongs in a jungle-themed park. 1000x more memorable than Turn It Up.
I like the fact it’s primarily an ice show which has a slight narrative, but it’s modern music, including some very popular songs and a few less known but exciting pieces. The fact it’s pretty much a “silent narrative,” outside the open and close makes you follow the “lead” they’re expressive, but that’s figure skating, it’s not using actors, which was distracting two shows ago. This is a cool show, I think it’ll do well over its run.
I haven't seen this show live yet, but it looks amazing on video. Super excited for the future. I liked Turn It Up, but this is definitely a welcome change.
I used to hate seeing the ice shows change, when I was young, because I liked “Around The World” and “Hollywood Live” a lot, but it felt like “Turn It Up” had run its course, and “Remix” was a bridge. I like this show.
@@BuschGardensJunkie- I never saw “Katonga,” only saw “Icesploration” once and didn’t care for it, but “Around The World on Ice,” “Hollywood Live on Ice,” and “Turn It Up” all had themes. “Around The World” and “Hollywood” more so than “Turn it Up.” I kind of like there’s a “story,” but it’s an ice show, not a play, and this one keeps the more recent music.
@@brandonedwards5793 Imo Iceploration was the best show they had for years but this one is second I wasn't a fan of the story for "Turn it up" there was also a show before Iceploration that had a dragon on a projector and they'd sprinkle water from the ceiling which I believe was the best show they had but Iceploration was amazing too
I was there august 11 and the show was a little different the lion looking guy with the zebra girl. He swung her in circles by holding her by only one foot. It was truly incredible.
@@BuschGardensJunkie yess they did it was amazing omgg i loved them i gave them to the skaters now apparently were not allowed to take pics with skaters anymore
I like the old show “Turn it up” better. When I watch ice skating on TV, the male, female, and couple are dressed in outfits that flow with their skating. The music enforces the skating they are doing. It is beautiful to watch. While I appreciate the new show's attempt to incorporate Busch Animal themes into the ice show, I must admit it fell short. The essence of a visit to Cheetah Hunt is the thrill of a roller coaster ride, not a hunting trip. Similarly, at the Real Music festival, the main attraction is the live music, not a wildlife theme. For instance, it would be odd to hear the ABBA group singing “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” and not Mama Mia. The benefit of Busch is its diversity. You can see the animals, go on rides, hear music, go to festivals (Food and Wine), visit animal hospitals, etc. Ice Skating is beautiful to watch. The new show takes away that beauty. Now, there are folks who like the new show (my wife included). I go to Busch about three times a month, and the ice show was my highlight and the top priority of my visit. Now, if I have time, I will go and see it. I realize that Busch put a lot of effort and resources into this production, and it will play until at least the Christmas production comes out. I'm hoping that Busch will do focus studies and see if this show will continue after Christmas. Fortunately, “Turn it Up” is on TH-cam, so I watch it there.
I thought that it was a perfect fit for the park. I enjoyed the story and the performance. I do have to disagree with one point, the Cheetah Hunt thrill is the feeling that you are the cheetah on the hunt for you prey on a roller coaster. Not sure how the new show takes away from the ice skating beauty, it was all beautiful. Personally I wish it was a little bit longer I enjoyed it so much.
Interesting, I didn't realize anyone was a fan of Turn It Up. A lottttt of people complained about Turn It Up being generic and low-budget, and this show seems like an attempt to address those complaints by restoring some elements of what made past shows like Iceploration and Katonga popular, like the safari theme and some hint of a narrative.
@@jonathanbishopmusic - Saw Icespolation once, during its last weekend, wasn’t sad to see it go. This more reminds me of “Around The World” and “Hollywood Live,” with a little bit of a story.
To the original commenter, “After Christmas?” Based on Busch Garden’s history, this show will be around until probably Spring 2029 or Spring 2030. I think most of the regular shows have run around five years. I think “Turn It Up” went eight years, because of COVID. Without COVID, I don’t think we would’ve seen “Remix,” which seemed like an “Interim Show” after the original version ran 5-6 years. There’s too much time and effort put in for this to last six months or so. It’s too good.
