“The Spiegeltent is a luxurious and exciting setting for some of the most unique and exhilarating performances to be seen in Tropical North Queensland,” Mayor Julia Leu said.

A massive slingshot ride has been set up next door near in Dixie Park set to launch passengers 60m into the air at 160kph in 1.5 seconds. The amusement park was judged a Gold Award ride at the 2018 Sydney Royal Easter Show.

Port Douglas Carnivale officially kicks off on next Friday 25 May.
