Martin & Vleminckx has announced that, as part of Magicland's multi-year investment plan, a new wooden roller coaster will debut at the park in 2027! The Gravity Group, LLC/Gravitykraft Corporation will design and manufacture the coaster and Martin & Vleminckx will install it. (Photo courtesy of the TPR Park Index.) https://mvrides.com/en/news/magicland-and-martin-vleminckx-ltd-announce-a-landmark-partnership-for-the-first-wooden-rollercoaster-in-italy A strategic agreement between Italy’s leading amusement park and a global industry innovator marks a major milestone for the entertainment sector in Europe. The new attraction will debut in 2027 as part of an ambitious multi‐year investment plan. Valmontone (Rome), January, 7 2026– MagicLand, the largest amusement park in Central and Southern Italy, and Martin & Vleminckx Ltd (MV Rides), one of the world’s foremost manufacturer and builders of wooden roller coasters, are proud to announce a landmark collaboration in the European entertainment industry. This agreement – the first of its kind for Italy – will bring to life the country’s very first wooden roller coaster, scheduled to open in March 2027. The partnership represents a strategic step in MagicLand’s long‐term development and reinforces the park’s ambition to consolidate its position as a leading entertainment destination in Europe. A Strategic Partnership That Elevates the Italian Amusement Industry Martin & Vleminckx is globally recognized for manufacturing and delivering iconic wooden roller coasters across major parks worldwide. Their arrival in Italy through this collaboration marks a turning point for the national industry, introducing a construction model that combines craftsmanship, cutting‐edge engineering, and strong thematic integration. The new wooden coaster designed and manufactured by The Gravity Group, LLC/Gravitykraft Corporation and delivered by Martin & Vleminckx Ltd will be a signature addition to MagicLand, designed with a modern engineered timber structure that delivers a smoother and more dynamic ride while preserving the authentic character of classic wooden coasters. Full details of the layout and thematic concept will be revealed over the course of 2026. A Key Milestone in MagicLand’s Multi‐Year Investment Plan The project, supported by a €15 million investment, is part of a broader strategic development plan that will reshape the park’s offering over the coming years. MagicLand is currently undergoing an unprecedented phase of expansion and enhancement. In 2026, the resort will introduce major new water slides at MagicSplash, the Caribbean‐themed water park, alongside additional improvements aimed at elevating the guest experience across both parks. These initiatives form part of a larger investment program announced by MagicLand’s ownership, designed to accelerate growth, strengthen competitiveness, and position the resort among Europe’s most innovative leisure destinations. MagicLand’s Growing Role in Italy’s Leisure Landscape Over recent years, MagicLand has firmly established itself as a major point of reference within the Italian amusement industry—not only for its new attractions and investment strategy, but also for its unmatched seasonal entertainment offering. The park is now widely recognized for hosting some of Italy’s most spectacular Halloween and Christmas events. Thanks in part to a strategic partnership with Il Regno di Babbo Natale in Vetralla (The Kingdom Of Santa Claus), the original narrative universe written by Giorgio Onorato Aquilani and one of the country’s most renowned Christmas‐themed experiences. These seasonal events, combined with the park’s continuous development and expansion, further strengthen MagicLand’s positioning as one of Italy’s most dynamic, engaging, and fast‐growing leisure “This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of MagicLand,” says Guido Zucchi, CEO of MagicLand. “Working with Martin & Vleminckx allows us to introduce an attraction that is truly unique for Italy and highly distinctive on a European scale. This project underscores our commitment to continuous innovation and our ambition to offer memorable, high‐quality experiences to guests of all ages. It is a cornerstone of a broader strategy that also includes significant investments scheduled for 2026 and beyond.” Official statement from Martin & Vleminckx to follow. “Bringing Europe’s most exhilarating wooden coaster to life is a milestone for us,” said Chuck Bingham, Senior Executive Vice President and Sales Director. “Partnering with Magicland has allowed us to fuse bold design, precision engineering, and beautiful theming to create an experience that will redefine thrills for guests.” About MagicLand MagicLand is the largest and most visited amusement park in Central and Southern Italy. Located just outside Rome, it offers 40 attractions for all ages, themed areas, live entertainment, dining experiences, retail shops, and Europe’s largest planetarium. The resort also includes MagicSplash, a Caribbean‐themed water park that will expand further in 2026 with new major slides and enhanced guest areas. With its growing portfolio of attractions, world‐class seasonal events, and strategic partnerships, MagicLand continues to strengthen its position as one of Italy’s premier leisure destinations.

Thanks I was wondering that. Of course it doesn't mean Darien Lake will, but was I was just curious what the difference was between the two regarding the brakes -
-
By Sportsdude360 · Posted
According to the project manager it should be finished sometime in late April. Opening to the general public might not happen until may. -
Promises, SFA added an additional brake caliper to their brake run so the didn't have to worry about the trains bumping in the station -
does anyone have any idea on when tormenta will open? will it happen to be in early march when ill be in the dallas area? or is it expected to be much later in may or something

There could also be insurance/legal reasons why Darien Lake only runs one train. Remember when New Jersey said that Kingda Ka and Zumanjaro could not both be in cycle at the same time? -
Dumb question, did SFA run two trains on Superman? Just curious if the brake run (insanely short) was good enough there to prevent bumping the train in the station, and if that could be a change made to Darien Lake's ROS. Because of how the park is run I don't anticipate them running two trains any time soon, but it would be nice if they could.
-
Plenty of train parts now! I still hope Superman at SFA gets saved not scrapped! -
Screamscape is reporting that SFA's intamin trains showed up at SFDL. That would give them as many as 4 trains possibly on a ride where they only run 1. I know at least 1 is for parts, if not both, but it's a small start https://x.com/Fightingmoon342/status/2006265493662113793/photo/1

Bumping this thread so I can echo a similar question. Which week(s) have the peak Spring Break crowds? I last visited in late April 2023 with minimal crowds and perfect weather. However, this was a couple weeks before Big Bear Mountain opened. Also, per usual at the time, Lightning Rod was closed on my visit, so I am itching to get back soon for these reasons. -
I would ride the crap out of that slow moving, suspended, Puss in Boots ride! someday, I've GOT to get to Singapore.
