California's Six Flags Discovery Kingdom this week announced a partnership with Cirque Productions' Neil Goldberg and his Cirque Dreams entertainment brand to add a new cutting edge dolphin show featuring Cirque Dreams in spring 2013 titled Cirque Dreams Splashtastic - the Most Amazing Show Above H₂0.

This new aquatic production teams up the park's marine mammals with Cirque's company of acrobats, aerialists and Cirque Dreams acts that promise a unique theme park experience. If this is anything close to the quality of Cirque Dreams and Dinner, featured on Norwegian Cruise Line's latest cruise ship, Norwegian Epic, theme park fans should love it.

"We are excited to bring the unique magic of Cirque Dreams to our guests," said Dale Kaetzel, park president, in a Wall Street Journal Marketwatch article. "This mesmerizing new water spectacle is a great complement to our existing line-up of rides, shows and animal attractions making us Northern California's best entertainment destination."

Cirque Dreams Splashtastic joins wildlife shows and animal attractions that include Pinnipeds of the Caribbean sea lion show, Odin's Temple of the Tiger, Birds of the World, Elephant Encounter, and Walrus Experience educational demonstration shows.

Cirque Dreams stable of popular shows include Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy, Cirque Dreams Illumination, Cirque Dreams & Dinner onboard Norwegian Epic and upcoming Norwegian Breakaway, Cirque Dreams Rocks, and Cirque Dreams Holidaze, now in its fourth consecutive touring season and success from The Kennedy Center.
