Ride filmed May 2023.
This ride was created by Claudio Mazzoli (who has worked for Disney parks in the USA) and Richard Crane. They were inspired by Disneyland's "Pirates of the Caribbean." At the time (1990/92) this attraction was the best in Europe and cost 60 billion Lire (corresponding to about €55 million today). Until 2017, this ride was much better than now: the story, the effects...for example, in the swamp part there was the low fog effect, with real smoke.... Or, in the underwater scene, there was the smoke effect with misting water all over the area).😢❤
They are pumping all the water to the new Lego water Park, I hate all the branding they are doing
It wasn't created by Claudio Mazzoli, It was Richard Crane, one of the best in theming at the time. Mazzoli created the ship in the battle scene and the resturant in the village outside the attraction
it really got better as it went on. loved the forest, crystal cavern, and going under water at the end
The ride feels so big yet so empty. So many underutilized spaces within the ride.
They removed a lot of elements and projections in the last 20 years, also the lighting is all over the place. Check out the original version of this ride that was much better.
The pirates on strike too
Kid: Mom, can we go on Pirates of the Caribbean?
Mom: We have Pirates of the Caribbean at home.
This ride was a masterpiece back in 1992. The story and the theming were amazing, the rooms were huge but filled with details (now half of them have been removed).
Too bad the park isn't run by the local people any more, attentuon to details and to the story is lost, the ride has too many problems and needs to be renewed to come back at its best shape. But we're lucky the ride is stil there considering they destroyed the first big and origina dark ride to make Jumanji wich has problems since day one and is less than half as beautiful as the original "valle dei re"
I like the woods part thats pretty cool. I think other ppl expect way too much. This seems like a fun relaxing ride.
That sea monster animatronic is terrifying!
It traumatized me as a kid, It used to raise its head and open its mouth
@@gaia7240 Absolutely! And, if I remember right, it even emitted some smoke from its mouth! It was glorious and terrifying!
The projector sections were absolutely the weakest part of the ride. The physical theming was done really well, good use of lighting and textures, the visual storytelling was all there. You can see the animatronics are starting to age, which is expected for an older ride, but the captain in the one scene looked fairly twitchy so it might be past time to replace him. It's nice to see smaller parks use creativity and solid design choices to be able to pull off a solid quality ride like this without the huge budgets of bigger parks.
This ride opened in 1992 and it was spectacular. Imagineers from disneyland came to help designing and building the ride. At the time there were no projections on the walls and the experience was unbelievable, at the same level of pirates if the Caribbean. More animatronics, they were new and top technology at the time, more storytelling about two souls guiding you through the whole ride.
Still beautiful today but yes, the projections are very weak.
What? Smaller parks? Gardaland is the most visited park belonging to Merlin Entertainments, the second company of amusement parks in the world... It doesn't seem a small park, at least in my opinion.
100000000000000000% this. Saying this is "comparable to Pirates of the Caribbean is like saying Frosted Flakes is comparable to pancakes. Yes, they both have pirates in them but that was the ONLY thing the 2 attractions have in common. The animatronics that did move were jittery and only had one movement. Lights just "switched" on during scenes for the first half of the ride and then slowly faded up on the second half. While I don't have an issue with using them in rides, the projections were washed out and the "actors" look like they were picked up from a middle school drama club. I understand that this might not have had the biggest budget, but you can clearly tell they blew 90% of it on the sets and the rest of the immersive elements were a total afterthought...
This Is not a small park, or ti be precise It wasn't when the ride was realized. Back in the day It was Majestic.
Now half of the animatronics are broken or removed, the story has been changed so much by the video and doesn't male any sense now. Since It has been never repaired or replaced in time, its still quite good for having 31 years. But the park direction doesn't want to fix all the problem and bring It back to its old beauty
This ride was sooo much better when it opened in 1992
🎩i agree
Even in 92 was lame, and I love this ride.
This is so good! I love the underwater parts. Thanks.
This is really good! I like that the canal design is narrow bringing the scenes closer to riders.
4:28 is where you’ll find the sea monster!
I was singing yo ho yo ho the whole time
That sea monster animatronic used to lift his head and open his eyes and mouth... would be cool to see them fix it. You can see it in the historical video
He never opened his eyes, but he was much more animated and his face looked much better as well
even tho its clearly based off pirates at Disneyland,I honestly thought that the set pieces and props were better than disneylands version by a mile!! disney obviously does a better job with atmosphere and story telling, but damn, this is not a half bad ride! I would love to go on this if I ever find myself there!
This ride is 30 years old, It used to be even better
Был в этом парке 6 раз , атмосфера отличная .
I see the monster remains un repaired and un cleaned.
Such a shame
Oooh this ride has problem but the falling turret was cool and I like that it ends underwater.
wow it’s different than the pirates of the Caribbean over at Disneyland in California
The use of projector screens just makes the ride seem cheap and flat. This reminds me of a slightly better version of the pirate ride at Six Flags Over Texas. Cheap and underwhelming.
It's almost as if they went over budget and had to scale back some of the rooms and scenes.
It looks quite decent ❤
I agree with what has been said, it's sparse and the projections kind of take away from it. That said, it seems like an awesome structure as far as the ride vehicles and track, it has potential it just isn't there.
It used to be better trust me, new owners are being cheap now
진짜 환상적이고 신비롭네요
Why in the world did you focus mainly on the back of the boat in front of you?
This ride is very impressive
Props were good but they need to hide the projectors better and improve on the animatronics. Projection has the same issue with Disney Shanghai. WHen you don'e have enough animatronics, the space feels empty.
Turn down some lights, especially of the "projections" or LED screens whatever hey might be, and you got a worthy rival of Pirates of the Caribbean and Pirates in Batavia. Pretty long, lots to see, great design and use of color and theming. All in all a very cool ride.
nice
This ride looks amazing! What music was playing at the end that was edited out?
The soundtrack is called "the black skull" by Raniero Gaspari, its on youtube
Not sure about the design choice of having two boats linked. The drops on the ride weren't huge, but the linkage seemed to slow down the boats as they went over them.
It's almost similar to Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean rides in certain parts.
A billion times better than disney
Why are they replacing animatronics with screens?
Screens are not that interesting, they should use modern tech like robots as "next gen animatronics",
instead of screens. EDIT: not meaning the projectors that project on actual scenery- those look great!
What camera are you using?
Visually it looks fine. They could have cut back on the open spaces since they aren’t filled up with anything.
I think I know this ride.
Why was it muted at the end of the ride?
This is very impressive i love the projections is done awesome and the lighting blends well with the background and Change colors to fit with the scenes. Me personally its better than pirates of the Caribbean at the Disney parks
Needs way more props/animatronics just a wasted opportunity
This probably looks a lot better in real life when the camera brightness isn't adjusted.
The finger wiping off the lense was the most exciting thing about this ride.
The camera focused to much on the left side. Felt I was missing some scenes.
What are those hanging hissing things at 02:20 ???
Bats
Can somebody translate the dialogue, please? I don’t speak Italian (in fact, I thought this was Spanish until the very end, where the ghost said “arrivederci”).
Everything feels like its soooo close to being good but just slightly off. The colors are beautiful and some of those practical sets are great. But then it's immediately followed by a largely empty corridor. They have some animatronics but most of the movement feels pointless yet a lot of scenes would benefit from more kineticism.
It's 30 years old, many things broke down and they replaced it with projections
All these comments hurts, I've been to this park when I was little, and everything was a sight to see. But they've been taking more and more decisions based on money and are ruining all the attractions
Dr😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
The sound is mistimed. It’s completely off. And the animatronics are aging badly.
Looks very cheap and like it could have a lot more done to it
the original version of 1992 was way better and ahead his times, animatronics' movements were better too, they made this cheap 2.0 version of the ride to cover years of lack of mantenainance, with projections completly disconnected to the original stories, the origina version was way more dark and misterious, with diffused fog (in the forest for example... It's not a mistery: Merlin doesnt love animatronics...
The old Version was better.
Projectors ruined it for me.
Nice set design. No animitronics...what a waste
the entire area of the forrest was boring. there was so much that could have been going on through there.
Cool not as good as Disney Shanghai
How is this a intimin ride? Seriously Sally dark rides should have done the entire thing as they specialize in dark rides. They would have done a much better job than whatever this is.
This ride is from 1992, then cheaply updated (removed many animatronics, changed storyline and added projections. Sally dark rides better stay away from this, we have enough cardboard cutout rides around the world made by them
This was just sad. All that money and apparently no one w/ the vision to use it properly.
