Gardaland, holiday italy 2010

Here is the first report of the holiday, I have been to Gardaland for 2 day's, unfortunately it rained almost the whole time, but I still managed to ride all the coasters.


Welcome to Gardaland!

Due to the bad weather, I had almost walk-on to every ride, the longest waiting line was for the Ramses dark ride, which was 15 minutens

Gardaland is a cool park, but they really miss a big ride, but as they are building a B&M for the next year, I think that problem will be solved

They have A Vekoma MK1200 Double Loop Corkscrew coaster, the same as Python in The efteling. But this one has the new Vekoma MK1212 Trains, Like on the boomerang in Carrowinds and next year La Via Volta in Walibi World [:D] Which have flexible restraints. Unfortunately, these restraints were very tight for my shoulders. and became even tighter during the ride. But they absorb all the bumps and other things that are painful with normal restraints

I think the trains look very ugly with their brown colour and the light-coloured stickers, but it's still one of the best trains A coaster could have

Here's a few pics of the track and the train. onride pics are shot with permission

Backseat, mijn favorite place for this ride


First drop, gives a nice floater in the back [;)]

Helix with water jets, witch don't make you wet, but the rain does

En the last unbanked turn
















I took the most pictures of magic mountain, but gardaland has a lot of other rides

like Blue Tornado, the SLC with extra helix.
The SLC is of course the coolest coaster of the park. The extra helix is quite fun. I rode it about 50 times

The Blue tornado:










Please don't post yet, more is about to come

The second part

There is much more to do in gardaland next to Magic Mountain and Blue tornado, there is Seqoia adventure, A wierd S&S coaster which was kinda fun


Second day, only test rides. but I had ridden it the first day



They have a vekoma mine train, which was themed pretty well but the ride was just boring and shakey
