neovortex2k Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Just came across this article. Interesting. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/31/venice-theme-park_n_4182258.html VENICE, Italy -- VENICE, Italy (AP) — An Italian company that built Coney Island's latest attractions and an amusement park in a never-activated nuclear plant in Germany has unveiled plans to invest 80 million euros ($110 million) for a theme park in Venice. Alberto Zamperla, one of the main investors, said Wednesday the theme park is planned for an abandoned island that once housed an incinerator, bringing economic and environmental benefits by cleaning up a toxic site and creating 500 jobs. The project envisions a 55-meter (yard)-tall Ferris wheel, a rollercoaster and other rides, alongside installations illustrating the Venetian lagoon's fragile ecology and the city's history. Zamperla is loath to call it an amusement park — an easy target for detractors in Venice — and the plan still faces a series of approvals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumba2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 If this park does happen I wonder what type of roller coaster it will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zem Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I have several friends in Italy that would be interested tio hear about this. Hopefully Zamperla can get the needed approvals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scbt Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 If this park does happen I wonder what type of roller coaster it will be? Well, in the rendering it shows a Volare to the left of the ferris wheel. Hope to see this get approved and come to fruition as it seems like it will be an improvement over what's currently on that island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

australianalex Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Wait am I the only one who likes Powersurges as well as Air Races? I think some of Zamperla's flats are pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
