History
CircusTrix was founded in October 2011 by Case Lawrence, a former attorney and real estate developer from Fresno, California. Lawrence got the idea for the company after visiting a trampoline park in San Francisco with his children. The first CircusTrix park, SkyWalk, was opened near Fresno in 2011. The second park, dubbed Defy Gravity, was opened in Durham, North Carolina in mid-2012.
In January 2014, CircusTrix announced that they would be expanding to the Asian market with a new trampoline park in Hong Kong under the Ryze brand name. The park was opened in July 2014. The first European park was announced in September 2014 and was opened in January 2015 in Edinburgh, Scotland. By mid-2015, the company was operating 25 parks, most of which were in the United States. By the end of 2015, that number had increased to 28.
In 2016, new parks were opened or are planned to open in locations like Sacramento, California; Clovis; Seoul, South Korea; Lakeland, Florida; Visalia, California; and others. Many parks began introducing American Ninja Warrior-inspired obstacle courses, as well. In June 2016, CircusTrix announced that it had signed an endorsement deal with Kevin Bull, a frequent American Ninja Warrior competitor. As part of the deal, Bull trains in the company's parks and also appears in CircusTrix television and radio ads. As of August 2016, the company operates over 30 parks in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
In January 2017, CircusTrix closed a round of private equity funding with Palladium Equity Partners. According to The Wall Street Journal, the investment "represents the first significant move by private equity in the nascent indoor recreation sector." In March 2017, CircusTrix acquired trampoline park operator Rockin' Jump Holdings in a deal backed by Palladium Equity Partners.
