Magenta Lizard Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 There's some more behind-the-scenes clips of Origins on KI's snapchat from yesterday. Pretty cool. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 My Dad and I caught the 3:00 show on Fathers' Day (Sunday), and it was just magic! That ring performer blew us away, and the new, sideways strength/acrobat piece interlaced with the trampoline act was superb! I must say, I love the Egyptian (or Indian)-sounding music during that exchange. It is absolutely mesmerizing! Very good show! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 With regard to the unidentifiable music, has anyone here considered that perhaps some of the music was composed specifically for this show and thus can't be found by song recognition apps? That would be really cool if they created new music just for our show. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 That's a good question, Goble. I have been trying to look for the last 2 songs (Hand2Hand/original DuoFannick (trapeze) ending*) for the past hour now and no luck! *I don't know if the finale music has changed; has it? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeastFarmer Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Magenta Lizard, this is for you! I saw Cirque Imagine at Kings Dominion on Tuesday and Carowinds on Thursday. At KD, the emcee pronounced the title "EEEMAHJEAN" This KD show was really good; the bike guy was the same one from KI last year. The bike guy at Cwinds was good, but seemed unsure of himself at times. The performers at Cwinds, I recognized from KI were two of the "clowns"-they guy who gets the girl, and the tall one. The other "clown" was a female. (KD had a female clown too). The black and white performers, I recognized most of them too. KD had the act with the red bowling pin juggle, Cwinds had the ring. Both locations had some added acts that were great. Cwinds theater is smaller with a lower ceiling, so instead of the clowns coming from the ceiling, they had a metal track that went from the back of the theater, from the ceiling, almost like a zipline. Both parks were not crowded (coaster waits were almost like ERT at Coasterstock, for example, I was able to ride Fury 325 4 times in 29 minutes!) but at KD, there were only maybe 75 members of the audience, and they were not very active. Cwinds, on the other hand, had a packed audience, and they were most certainly into it! Clapping, oohing and awing. I even saw some people crying at points. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastien6221 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 How long are the shows? And what does a Saturday schedule look like? Might go watch it. Sent from my N9130 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Shows are a half hour, but try to get there at least 10 minutes before the show officially starts.... Doors open a half hour before the show starts. Saturday, shows are at 1:30, 3:30, 5, and 7. All other days are 3, 5, 7. Except Tuesday, they get that day off. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 So, I saw Cirque with the new acts and... it was bittersweet. The first new act featuring the woman with the rings was amazing- she reminded me of the Pokemon Hoopa! However, the second one didn't totally wow me. That is probably because I still very much miss Yannick. In fact, I got super sad (I hardly ever cry, but I was very close to tears) at the start of the ball act as he always helped set this act up. However, I did get a bit of closure after the show as I got to talk with someone about where DuoFannick is now. So, will I see it again? Maybe. But only for that one new act! Also, the drummer is back 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 I have a young friend I made through Cirque who was acting as director of where we (his family, and a couple other groups of children and parents who are big fans of the show) sat during yesterday's shows. He wanted to try out sitting in some of the different locations where the performers come out and interact with the audience during the shows. Usually he prefers the fifth row center, where the two monkey/lizards come through a few times during the preshow. For the third show last night, we were all sitting left front. We left open seats next to the kids in the front row, because often the performers will choose such seats to sit in and "play" with audience members. I sat in the row behind, intending to get some pics of the shenanigans. When I realized it was close to the part where they come off stage to sit, I got my camera app up and ready to take pics of the performers with the kids. Suddenly, Mike (the one I used to refer to as Suspenders) was sitting next to me! I had the presence of mind to switch to front facing camera, and he immediately caught on and posed for a selfie! It's particularly cool because as I've watched the show, I'll admit he has grown into my favorite. I love this cast! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I've become a fan of George (not sure if that's how he spells his name), the Juggler/Pilot/Artiste. I'm just enjoying the reactions of every new audience, and the neat little touches, such as: The skateboard and "Call me!" gag behind the painting sequence, and: The blue light balls added to the drop vines. One thing that is glaringly in need of fixing is the new intro of the show between the 'pre-show' and the sway pole. I think they could start what has been the pre-show at the top of the hour, so that there's not this awkward pause in the action (although, the cat-laser gag is a cute touch). Gave the 5:00 show a standing ovation! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Jorge Petit. He has a performer Facebook page you can follow: https://www.facebook.com/JorgePetitArtist/ One of the showings yesterday, the first light-ball wasn't attached properly and fell from the catwalk. It made a surprisingly loud "thunk" but fortunately didn't hit anyone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Dangit! I heard on Monday from an employee outside the theater that the reason they were opening the doors late was that they were practicing with a new performer, but he didn't know anything beyond that. So is there a new juggler/painter, new act(s), or just an empty hole in the show? Going to miss him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 New juggler. No paint or act to take its place. BUT...he may be back....and many may stay and perform until August 21st....(original end date was the 14th) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 If so, that is so awesome! Doing a little happy dance over a possible extended season. I know one young fan who would be really happy to hear that too since she'll be missing a week of shows. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 I really enjoyed seeing the new juggler!! I miss Jorge and want him back but I also wish I could have seen his replacement more than just today. Maybe they could keep him on and the two could do a juggling duo He's a fine juggler, and super expressive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tretsujin Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 While I would have liked to see the new juggler we won't be there again until next Friday (we normally go every weekend but can't this weekend). That being said, we go to every show each day we are there hoping to get the painting, so I am very happy Jorge should be back before we go again. I have a few vacation days I am taking from work over the next couple of weeks and the hope was we get to go to more shows for more chances at the painting.

Thrill_Biscuit Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Last night, when Don and Greg were climbing the ladder to get to the Mystic Timbers announcement podium, people in the crowd were going "Okay.... okay.... ohhh-kaaaaay" like the Origins clown-acrobats! I also like the new juggler! Glad to hear Jorge is coming back! The "Artistic Artiste" scene had grown on me, and it was sorely missing from the show. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricsun Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 BUT...he may be back....and many may stay and perform until August 21st....(original end date was the 14th) That makes me happy to have an extra week to get to see it. My July has been crazy and I haven't had a chance to return to KI since the end of June. I want to see the show at least two more times!
