The performer, originally from Sarasota, will perform an epic high-wire walk nearly 600 feet cross the skies of the theme park. The “walk the plank” stunt was originally scheduled for last year to celebrate the opening of the new Pirate Island Hotel but the event was called off due to the coronavirus pandemic causing all of Central Florida’s theme parks to close.
Wallenda has performed high-wire stunts around the world, including walks over active volcanoes, the Grand Canyon, Times Square and Niagara Falls.
New this year is Brickbeard’s Watersports Stunt Show.
Officials said the show features Captain Bricksbeard who is on the hunt for more people to join his crew to search for buried treasure. The show features new original music and gravity-defying water stunts including wakeboarding, barefoot-skiing, jump acts and the iconic ski pyramid.
