Zman are 12 to 18months behind the rest of the world. If you want/need the English printing id recommend putting it on you 2018 birthday list, not your 2017 Christmas list ;(

As far as I understood it right, HiG wanted to publish the expansion befor Easter. At least it sounded like we would be able to buy it with our traditional Easter orders at CundCo.

Another Dutch website that has announced the 10th expansion.
They say its expected to be available from april 2017. Description is the same as before, they advice to use it with new artwork, since the tiles are in the new style, but is playable with the old artwork and expansions.
It does say that with the basegame, this expansion can be played with up to 5 players, but with the first expansion Inns&Cathedrals a 6th player can join. So do they mean there are 6 circusdirector meeples in the expansion?

Gosh, that's such a poor name (as is the German original). Look how it flows in conversation:

"Which expansions do you want to play with?"

"Can we play with Under the Big Top?"

"Oh yes, I love Under the Big Top!"

Everyone will probably just call it The Circus anyway, so why didn't they just call it that?

It gets even more confusing when you play Carcassone Under the big top under a big top. It's what I'll be doing next time the circus comes to town....play carcassonne the circus at the circus...this ks why I'm not allowed in inns and cathedrals anymore....

Agreed. We've refering to it as the circus so far and we're not thinking of changing  :)
And Decar, are you also actively looking for towers, catapult, hills etc?  ;) i do wonder how that works in a river....

Ive saod before: I'm disappointed everytime I see a catapult...I'm not sure I would play in one though!

You've given me a great idea for a craft project....water proof tiles!

"Under the big top" eh?  They missed a ton of opportunities here.  If they are including ring masters, they should have put in a few lion meeples that could maul them.  Through clever tile placement a player can join a feature containing a lion with that containing a ring master and remove both from play.  To be honest, I think clown meeples would have been better as it would have been fun to have a small bag that appeared to hold only 4 or 5 clown meeples, but when you turned it over 30 came out.

Years ago people would try to take funny photos while on amusement park rides.   On a few of them the people where playing board games like Chess and Monopoly examples (one of which has foul language unforunately).  If you figure out the waterproof tiles, we can play Carcassonne on a log flume.

Under The Big Top is such a weird title. The Dutch title will just be The Circus.

Not that I'm interested in this new-art-only expansion... ;)

Out of the different titles that have come out now, Manege Frei, Het Circus and Under the big top, I also like the Dutch one the most, I think just because its a clear title to what the theme is for the expansion. So we'll probably end up calling it that
