2024 - Disaster The Blockbuster Tour - (7/28/2024) For anyone interested, a fun second video focused on just showing off the “Tornado Fury” portion of the new Disaster - The Blackbuster Tour attraction at Movieland Park can be found below, shot by Parksmania. This clip shows the experience from the front car of the tram, but also shows the rather awkward way the trams exits the attraction by slowly going into reverse and backing up the whole tram out the same front door that it entered through. The computer animated experience does look pretty fun still, as sort of a way of mixing the fury of a film like Twister in with a lot of roadway violence and crashing cars, as you would experience on something like Universal’s Fast & Furious attraction.
(7/28/2024) Today we get our first look at the new DISASTER The Blockbuster Tour attraction and grand opening celebration that just took place at Movieland Park in Italy. Thank you to HermyNeiParchi.it for for sending their footage link to Screamscape! Check out the video below and you can look the site for more theme park updates. The attraction appears to be inspired by the Backlot Tour attraction made famous by Universal Studios Hollywood, as guests board a long tram like vehicle and go on a driving tour around the park, past various prop vehicles, themed set pieces, and some interactive effects scenes, some enhanced by live actors. This includes a hillside Flood effect sequence, their own version of a Jaws style encounter, and a fun immersive tunnel section (much like Universal’s Kong). All together, this looks like a pretty fun addition to the park.
(4/2/23) A reader visiting Movieland Park in Italy spotted a poster on the wall for a new upcoming attraction at the park called Disaster The Blockbuster Tour. Concept artwork isn’t always accurate, but you can see that this looks to feature two-car long trams taking a backstage tour through some “famous” movie studio style disaster scenes that appears to include sharks, a tornado and maybe even a giant ape on a rampage. The interesting thing is that the park kind of has a similar style attraction right next door to this new area called Magma 2.1, though in that case it’s more of a large adventure jeep able to drive through water and on a more wild and rambunctious ride experience.
For reference, you can see a fun video of the Magma 2.1 attraction experience below. My first thought was that maybe Disaster was an expansion to the Magma 2.1 attraction, but the longer guest trams would simply not be able to manuver through the more action oriented stunts on Magma that were designed for the smaller single-car trucks. UPDATE - Constuction appears to have continued throughout 2023, so this wont open until at least the 2024 season.
