Was planning on going today. Thank God I didn't! :lol: Thanks for the post Marc :)

Brad will have RAGE! :wink: Anyway, a great few days as everyone has posted. Thanks to Mark, Ian etc for organising the trip and Vampire tour. May do a trip report later, but here were my highlights: - The costumes at Thorpe were epic. Certainly got everyone talking :-D - Pumpkin beach...

It's even more fun to get off after. :wink:

Looks as though track has started to go up from looking at the webcam on the Gardaland website: http://www.gardaland.it/index_genetix_en.php Looks as if it's either the station or brake run that's up... :--D

Nice find there Matt :wink: But yes, the documents do show that the attraction will feature a dark ride system. One of the documents has a who load of information on it, such as noise levels, and the fact it will have 8 cars etc. It does look like it's going to be a unique attraction...

We have to remember that it is only a guide to the council to outline what the park may due in due course. It's most likely that only half of those things that can be seen will appear at the park. Look at the previous MTDP, many things on it weren't built. Another thing to add, it's most likely...
