This wonderful amusement park is home to roller coasters (oblivion, raptor, mammut) dark rides (jumanji the adventure, i corsari, magic house) water rides (colorado boat, fuga da atlantide, jungle rapids) and many great themed areas (peppa pig land, fantasy kingdom, kung fu panda academy). Gardaland is also home to the legoland water park and sea life aquarium.

I’m going to gardaland in a bit. I’m gonna take a flight to Cassina di Pecchi. And I might as well go here. This was helpful. Also this park is very good because the entrance is really cheap unlike universal,Disney, and others.
That outside of the Jumanji ride is beautiful! love it
Loving the European content from the legend and molly, our favourite vloggers, if you ever find yourself in the north of England and wanting a pint give us a shout
Ok, so, some Gardaland Fun facts, since I am from Italy and have been there MANY times.
- "Foresta Incantata" used to be an old minecart dark ride with some cool practical effects, but got converted into some kind of weird walkthrough/dark ride thing if I remember correctly, and it requires a wand that you purchase separately. As you can imagine, it wasn't really popular enough after the first few times it ran, so it's closed
- The T-rexturant actually used to be (if my memory isn't playing tricks on me) a dinoausr themed 4D theater wayyy back then. It got closed and didn't do anything much with the building when the 4D theater was transferred in a much bigger one near jumanji (still running to this day with some rotating screenings) until it got converted in a restaurant.
- Magic loop wasn't magic loop before: it was "Sequoia Adventure", when both it and Shaman (before was named Magic mountain) didn't really have any themeing. Of course, when the Shaman re design came to be, they needed a better theme for the "magic" variety there, and so "magic loop" came to be. Ridden it a few times and yea, it's rough.
- Speaking of Shaman, the re design was suppoused to also have a VR element to it! I was one of the lucky few test subjects that were doing testing in a closed, ticket "soft opening" you could say, but was more of a beta test. Unfortuantley, to the contrary of other VR coasters like when Galactica at Alton Towers used to have it, the headset wasn't attached to the train itself, so few folks (like me) almost had their headset snatched out at the exit of the second corkscrew. Experiment failed because of those reports (and capacity issues as well), and now you have a simple re theme. You can see some remenancess of the VR experience in the TV screens of the queue btw.
- There were also plans of Raptor as well having an optional VR experience, but were cut short when Shaman test failed. Remenances of that can be seen in the mini screen on those recording cameras (this one more of a theory, so take it with a grain of salt)
- Magic house used to have an slow elevator that lead underground to the pre show, with also the Mage talking to you, but it was either taken out because of capacity issues/maintenace issues or just closed for this season.
- Those "character" based flat rides used to be in Fantasy land before the Legoland expansion. The ride that was where now those are also used to have a very old "flying dutchman" (I think is the name of the model? Is like 4 spinning wheels that have caged cars attached to them going up a tower) flat ride that I think was then sold to Spain due to maintenance costs.
- Jumanji has a.. troubled history. Went through 3 re designs now. First, it was an Egyptian based dark ride, then it became a cyberpunk+egyptian shooting dark ride, and now came all the way back to a normal dark ride, but Jumanji instead. Gardaland keeps boasting about how they are the only authorized park to make a jumanji attraction (not to be confused with land, that goes to Chessington instead), which is a weird selling point to me, but ok.
- DId you know Gardaland actually made some videogames? Yea, point and click adventure games. Seemed like they were trying to make "Prezzemolo" (the park mascot) also a cartoon icon, but didn't quite get popular enough. You can find the discs of them online and also an ISO of the game on Internet Archive, if you wanna see some weird stuff.
Hope you enjoyed these fun lil facts from a local! x3
Lots of great info, thanks enjoyed the read.
Strange hearing everyone complaining about blue tornado as a rough ride, here it's considered as one of the best and a classic of the park, together withe green coaster
I've been to this park. Very fun and interesting
