Located outside The Runaway Mine Train entrance, the Katanga Krewe have brought the Mardi Gras party to an area normally overlooked! A huge Myan statue centrepiece occupies the area with a moving mouth and smoke effects that go off during the flash mob. Again the costumes used in this area are amazing, with bright colours used and lots of bells to make sure you hear them coming! One thing we noticed at this Krewe is that all of the facemasks used are themed into the area as much as they can! With lots of guest interactions, this Krewe was our favourite. The smoke effects from the Runaway Mine Train entrance was definitely our technical highlight from all of the krewes across the park.
Joining the party again for 2022 is the Katanga Krewe, where the party keeps on rocking. The main theming for the krewe has been relocated from to the side of the Runaway Mine Train entrance to the left-hand side of Pizza Pasta. During this move, unforcedly the c02 cannons which went off above the Runaway Mine Train entrance a few times each performance have been removed / not reinstalled. Katanga Canyon should always have actors or some form of entertainment on as it brings the area alive! Another great krewe for Mardi Gras, but we would love to see more audience participation, due to the small space there's not much room to roam around and speak and dance with guests.
