JimmyBo Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Awesome reports so far guys. I'm loving the videos of all the rides that i will probably not ride any time soon. Keep the amazing pics of rides AND FOOD coming. How are the Italian people's attitudes? I remember some people saying that they weren't the nicest bunch last time TPR invaded Italy.

thrillerman1 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I miss Italy. Awesome updates of several parks I'd never heard anything about. Looks like you guys are having more than a blast. Rock it, and many many thanks for all the updates, Robb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 My daughter was looking over my shoulder as I was viewing the latest update. I happened to be looking at the picture below. Her comment was: "Dude, you're sick! Why are you looking at a bunch of dead lions?" Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 ^She must not be familiar with the sleeping patterns of cats, large or small  The Fabbri ride...there is no excuse for track shaping that bad. None. That was crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 It's good to see that the park finally managed to get their Eurofighter open. Apparently, it was announced something like 5 years ago, and they've put it on their website as opening that year every year since then! Apparently, they had some trouble getting final approval from the city. They didn't end up opening it until last August, according to RCDB. Â I seriously considered taking a side trip to the Bari area while I was planing my Italy trip in 2009. I remember the Eurofighter being on the park map at the time, with no indication that it wasn't open yet -- even though they hadn't even started building it yet, apparently! When I e-mailed them to ask if it was open or would be in time for my trip, they said they didn't think it would be, because of the trouble I mentioned. That helped nudge me into not taking the side trip, which was really the right choice for me at that time and for that trip. Â The main reason I'd considered the side trip was because Easyjet was offering an insane sale of only 9 Euros each way for flights from Rome to Bari. But it would have meant rushing crazily to get to both parks on public transportation (plus a cab or two). And more importantly, it would have meant cutting out about half of the things I wanted to do in Naples and Rome, which I really did not want to do! And I'm really glad that I got to spend that time climbing Mt Vesuvius and standing on top of an active volcano, watching (a bit of) smoke come out, plus having more time to walk around the HUGE Vatican museums, and not missing the amazing Borghese Gallery and the Imperial Forum. The credits will come eventually! Â I'm sure I'll get there some time. I really LOVED Italy! And I won't be able to stay away from Mirabilandia, on the coaster front!

larrygator Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I can't wait for the day when Elissa's body finally tells her that she was not raised as a sheperd and lactose intolerance creeps up on her.

Chris Benvenuto Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hello TPR! It's culture day! Â KT just has a look on her face of "I am not amused!" and "Meh, it's just Rome." Â Rome is indeed a place I need to find my way to in the future. I've been to Europe before, but mostly to France, Belgium, Germany and Holland. I totally never went to the more southern parts of it. Well - there's still time, just need to properly plan and invest money into the concept and I'll be there someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simaticable Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Robb, aren't you a little old for a catholic minister's taste? Why, it's not like he can anyway. (I'm not going into detail on the strict Catholic lifestyle. I mean I could, but what would be the point?) Â Robb, you are going to the deepest pits of hell for licking that, and I'm going there for laughing at it. Â Johnny "I'm Catholic, so I should totally know about this stuff" B.

Dailey Enterprizes Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Cool stuff there guys. The cars from the inverted Manhattan Express or Mirage Rosso from Fasanolandia looked like it should have swinged like a suspended coaster given the lack of banking. The eurofighter looked like it needed inversions where it didn't have them and didn't need them where it did. European humor might be the best with the pigs humping. Elissa loves to hate spinning coasters, but I do enjoy seeing her try to ride them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
