Mystical Mirage In Desert Grill Review

Between major shows like Christmas Celebration and Let's Dance Feat. Burn the Floor, Desert Grill has "filler" shows. This years might be the best one yet! Mystical Mirage is an up beat African themed show featuring percussionists, an acrobat, and the returning favorite, belly dancers. 
While the belly dancers were outside last Summer in the Cheetah Hunt realm, they are now in doors with multiple drummers and lots of neat lighting and effects. They are very talented and with the drummers supporting them you won't want to miss a beat of it. 
The balancing act was 5 minutes of on the edge of your seat excitement. From balancing on one pole and wooden board to multiple ones while juggling swords and a plate, the kids are going to love this one! 
There are only a few more days to experience this show but you never know when it will be back in between major shows so stay tuned! Mystical Mirage runs through next Tuesday in the Desert Grill and has several showings a day.

I am dissappointed with BGT's lack of shows that go with the theme of the park. I loved both KaTonga and Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy. I also like Critter Castaways and I'm excited about the upcoming Iceploration, but I dislike the fact that the other two recurring shows are simply people on stage singing/dancing to pop songs. The "Lets Dance" show and the show in the Marrakesh theater need to be replaced with something pertaining to Africa/animals. Perhaps remodeling one of the venues to be able to bring back either KaTonga or Cirque Dreams would be ideal.

This is a very professional site with great pictures that capture the excitement at Busch Gardens, Tampa. Look forward to seeing more!

Thanks for the compliments. As for the themed shows, Mystical Mirage was perfectly themed for Africa and was enjoyable too! Be sure to check it out before next Tuesday!

I wrote the comment about the themed shows. Mystical Mirage seems fine since the park does include an Egypt section(I wish they'd keep that as a recurring show year round), however there is a show in the Marakkesh theater that only consists of people singing 50's/60's music and the show in the Desert Grill called "Lets Dance Featuring Burn The Floor" which don't go well with an African/Animal themed park at all.

I personally LOVE Let's Dance Feat. Burn the Floor it's a nice change of pace from the African theme. The 50's and 60's show, Rock A Doo Wop, is there mostly for the regulars which is an older crowd during the week and it is very popular among them! I think that this show would go nicely in the Marrakesh Theater year round though!

I loved the Mystical Mirage and Burn the floor is an excellent show. Both are keepers. "Rock a do woop" needs to go. Katango was so so in my opinion and had run its course. It would be great if they could bring "Circue dreams back" (perhaps in stanleyville theater).
