matteocrepaldi Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 In September you should be fine, especially in week days because the kids are back in school. I think one day is ok to do everything multiple times. Personally I would do one day Gardaland and two days Mirabilandia!

JordyC Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 ^Thanks for the reply. That's interesting, since I thought Gardaland was the two day park. May I ask why you would spend two days at Mirabilandia and only one at Gardaland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Personally I like the rides at Gardaland but after one or two times I ride tham I have enough. The only exception could be Raptor but with no single rider is difficoult to get many rides now. At Mirabilandia there is probably less to do overall (if you are not into the waterpark) but you could easily spend one day just riding iSpeed and Katun!

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk We have the same judgement about the 2 parks. Gardaland was for us an 'average' park, 1 day is more than enough. Mirabilandia on the other hand has Katun, Ispeed and Divertical..........nuff said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordyC Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. I will consider staying a day longer in Mirabilandia (especially since the second day is free!). But normally, every major ride and all the coasters + re-rides can be done in one day, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster-mm Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Yes, it can easily be done in 1 day. Of course it depends on how crowded it is. We visited the park on a busy day a couple of years ago and we rode all 3 the big rides multiple times on 1 day, despite the horrible operations in the park. Didn't care about the other rides/ attractions though.....Katun, Ispeed and Divertical was all we cared about[emoji12] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eamania Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 According to rumors from Mirabilandia 2019 season there will be a new big coaster! In what area of the park will you find? Will there be enough space? We tried to take the measures. http://www.mirabilandiaforever.it/2017/08/28/novita-2019-mirabilandia-location-dimensione/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoBruz199 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 ^That's some interesting speculation right there. I do hope it's gonna be something significant, since Divertical didn't really make that big a splash for the park. Pun intended. By the way, they're having a huge 2018 water park expansion! They've announced 6 new slides, a new wave pool, VIP areas, and much more! No details about what the slides are going to be, but still a very welcome addition. The waterpark hasn't gotten anything new since it opened in 2003! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the fact that they've worked together for their last two themed area expansions, Far West Valley and Dinoland, I'm fairly sure they'll do that again.

jedimaster1227 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Parques Reunidos has sent us a press release announcing the development of Ducati World at Mirabilandia! Parques Reunidos, one of the world's leading leisure park operators, and Ducati, one of the most iconic motorcycle manufacturers in the world, have signed an agreement to develop Ducati World at Mirabilandia. Mirabilandia, located in the Emilia-Romagna region – where Ducati brand was born—is the second largest theme park in Italy as well as the second most visited park in Parques Reunidos’ portfolio. Mirabilandia’s visitors will be able to enjoy this exclusive and innovative Ducati experience, and will reach new adrenaline levels through their excitement for Ducati motorcycles. This thrilling project will occupy an area of approximately 35,000 m2, and is expected to open to the public in 2019. Ducati World will transform Mirabilandia with the power of the first area themed after a motorcycle brand. It will attract motorcycle fans both from Italy, a country famous for its automotive culture, and from abroad, thanks to a variety of attractions that will engage the public with a real motorcycling experience. The park will incorporate the latest technologies; among the projected attractions there will be a new generation roller coaster that will replicate the experience of riding on a motorcycle. There will also be simulators, virtual reality, and children’s attractions. The agreement with Ducati also envisions a showroom where visitors will find the most iconic Ducati models. Similarly, visitors will be able to learn about motorcycling history and about the socio-cultural context in which the Italian brand has grown through the 90 years it has been operating. To top it all, the park will also include a Ducati shop, where visitors will have the opportunity to buy all sorts of official Ducati and Ducati Scrambler merchandise; and themed restaurants. Mirabilandia is located on the Adriatic Riviera, near Ravenna, and at the heart of one of the most prosperous and most touristic regions in Italy. The park offers a wide variety of shows and attractions, including the Caribbean-themed water park, Mirabeach, and a number of theme areas such as Route 66, Bimbopoli, Dinoland, Far West Valley, and AdventureLand. With an ample offer, cared-for facilities, and location in a natural environment, Mirabilandia has become the entertainment complex of reference in Italy. For Fernando Eiroa, CEO of Parques Reunidos, “This partnership and investment will transform Mirabilandia, empowering the park to attract visitors from all over the world. Ducati World continues the Italian strong tradition for sports and automotive and provides an engaging and innovative experience for motorcycling fans. Ducati is a global brand with a great reputation, as well as a strong local presence.” “Ducati World will give visitors a chance to live an exciting journey inside the Ducati brand” stated Alessandro Cicognani, Ducati Licensing and Corporate Partnership Director. “Thanks to this agreement, together with Parques Reunidos we’re developing the first motorcycle themed area in an Italian amusement park. Mirabilandia’s location, at the heart of the Motor Valley, adds further value to this project dedicated to fun”.

LeoBruz199 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 ^As an Italian, I can safely say you've just literally described every single Italian theme park in a nutshell. Yeah our parks are utter crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 It appears this Motorbike coaster will in fact be a set of racing Maurer Spike Coasters. Not entirely enthused by that I must admit. https://rcdb.com/15717.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordyC Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I am not too keen on that, to be honest.. But it fits their announcement, I guess. a new generation roller coaster that will replicate the experience of riding on a motorcycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rill'o'beily Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 a new generation roller coaster that will replicate the experience of riding on a motorcycle. Tbh even the zamperla motocoaster feel more like an actual motorcycle than the spike coaster, did the one at skyline and it's... very ehhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh even the zamperla motocoaster feel more like an actual motorcycle than the spike coaster, did the one at skyline and it's... very ehhhh I know rider's reactions to Sky Dragster weren't great, however, from the beginning stages it sounded like this type of coaster could be easily modified for each installation, so I'm hopeful that themeing can help delivery the proper ride experience.

Canobie Coaster Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Sky Dragster didn't wow me, but it was a decently little ride. Maybe adding a racing component will make the ride stand out a bit more. My worry would be capacity. Maybe it was just Skyline, but they didn't send the next train out until the previous one returned to the station. Each run took 30-40 seconds and each bike seats 1-2 riders. Assuming each bike has 2 riders and each dispatch occurs every 30 seconds, that's a max of 240 riders per track per hour. But I'm guessing a lot of people will want to ride alone to control their own speed. How busy does Mirabilandia get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoBruz199 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'm done. I am so done with the Italian park industry. For the first time in five years people were actually hyped. This was supposed to be a return to form for Mirabilandia, and when we heard we were getting a motocoaster, we all thought "Hey even if it is a Zamperla, how bad could it be?" And then this happens. Honestly, this makes Coney's steeplechase look like Tron. Honestly this is probably the biggest letdown of 2017. Vergogna, Mira... Vergogna... *that means shame on you in Italian btw* Am I overreacting? is it too much to ask for an Italian park to not make itself to be the laughing stock of the coaster community?

Canobie Coaster Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 ^ I'd personally take the spike coasters over the Zamperla motorbikes I've been on, but I admittedly enjoyed the spike coaster more than most people on the Oktoberfest trip.
