Jeezus Juice Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Awesome, I loved Fuga. Intamin water-coaster goodness! You got some really good pictures of Blue Tornado too. That ride looks great, even if it's an SLC! Looking forward to some more! -Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking86 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 They must have repainted Blue Tornado before the 2005 season. It looked fantastic when I was there last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Riddler Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Thanks for the great photo's. Last year i visited the park for the 1st time and it's fantastic and verry nice. The theming is nice there, Il Cosari is the best dark-ride i've done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that's looking rather nice! I suspect the whole park got a nice sprucing along the arrival of the Screamin' Squirrel. The only thing that really frustrates me about Gardaland is the lack of a big coaster. It needs an iconic ride that is taller than anything else in the park, because the focus is too much on what I'd call "supoprting" rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 ^I agree! Its a fantastic place, but the rides are unfortunately 'only average' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking86 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Oh yes, I forgot about that one. That ride was REALLY impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumguy Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Well dosen't Gardaland have Sierra Tonate? Which I believe is a CCI? Other then that looks like a Italian PCW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Sierra Tonanta is in Mirabilandia, not Gardaland. And its built by William Cobb, not CCI. It may look impressive, but its definately NOT a good ride. Its rough, slow and boring and has no airtime at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumguy Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Oh, I see. Cobb also designed this crap Rolling Thunder here in SFGAdv(my homepark), and it's awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterboi Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I didnt think the pirate ride was up to much when i went but i love Gardaland i think Funga D Atlantide is my favourate ride there mainly cause of the theaming.I Also loved the merlin show in the medievel aerea the effects are really cool in that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
