Park News - (5/1/12) Parksmania has posted a fun POV video of Gardaland’s Fuga Da Atlantide ride… in 3D.
    (4/19/12) ParksMania has posted a special new video this week, their first 3D POV video of Raptor. Of course if you don’t have the ability to view in 3D, you can always shut off the 3D and watch in regular 2D.
    (3/26/12) RollerCoasterRevolution has posted that Inferis, the walk-through attraction at Gardaland that opened in 2010 has been closed down for good.
    (2/10/12) The translation I got was a little shaky, but from the sound of things posted to Roller Coaster Revolution, Gardaland has sold their Ikarus ride (Huss Condor) to Miragica. Anyone know if they are planning on having it up and running for the 2012 or 2013 season?

 

2012 - Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs - A 4-D Experience - (11/7/11) Much like Alton Towers, Gardaland, a sister Merlin attraction, will also feature the same Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs 4D Theater attraction in 2012. According to Theme Park Tourist, the Ice Age characters will also be on hand in the park as well, which is expected to cross promote their new ride along with the forth installment of the Ice Age animated series which will hit theates in July 2012.

 

2012 - Gardaland Sea Life Aquarium - (2/1/12) The Gardaland Sea Life Aquarium will open a new attraction about Sea Dragons according to a promo image posted to RollerCoasterRevolution.

 

icon_STOP2013 - Raptor: Genetix - Rumor - (5/12/12) I received an interesting lead on just what Raptor Genetix could possible be. According to the Screamscape spy network, the Nemesis: Sub-Terra attraction that opened last month at Alton Towers was first conceived for Gardaland as a fun  sequel attraction to go along with the storyline developed for Raptor. According to the tale, Merlin management realized the basic story plop and attraction concept would also work perfectly at Alton Towers for the 2012 Nemesis sequel ride.
    So could this new “Genetix” announcement coming to the park be another attraction, similar to Sub-Terra, but themed to go along with the Raptor creature and egg storyline from last year?
    (5/10/12) I’m not exactly sure what this is all about but something called Raptor: Genetix will be coming to Gardaland on May 16. Anyone know more?

 

 

Future Projects - Confirmed - (3/8/07) Blackstone / Merlin Entertainment confirmed that in addition to future growth plans that include building a second hotel at the park, they also are looking at building a small indoor Legoland themed attraction.
