    Mirabilandia | Desmo Race | Maurer Spike Dragster

    desmo race is now open again, but always for a few hours per day mirabilandia should also bulldoze its managament, but in a different way than now, where acquaintances (is it written right?) of old mediocre managers continuously replacing the old ones. divertical and desmo race were both very...

    Mirabilandia | Desmo Race | Maurer Spike Dragster

    Finally desmo race has opened! For 3 days, only a few hours a day and with continuous stops. Now on the website it's again reported as not available. "ducati world is a success" "ducati world is the most important investment in the park's history" riccardo marcante, former...

    Mirabilandia | Desmo Race | Maurer Spike Dragster

    I exhume the thread after years to report that desmo race is finally... still closed! https://www.mirabilandia.it/attivita/attrazioni/desmo-race If I have correctly understood, a serious problem with its rack and pinion system, maybe rewelded last year, prevents the pseudo coaster from running.

    How often is Desmo Race open?

    If I remember correctly, desmo race has been closed since at least July 19. Previously mirabilandia planned the opening at 12 every day, but pratically became 13, 14 and more... and it often stopped after few hours or even minutes.

    Gardaland | Jumanji: The Adventure | Unknown | 2022

    You are totally way off. The meaning was "yes, you're right, it's not perfect, this video shows how this crap is far from perfection". Maybe the netiquette is a bit different in english? I don't know. About that video, i assure you that many imperfections are clearly visible with your own...

    Gardaland | Jumanji: The Adventure | Unknown | 2022

    Madonna, anche nei forum in inglese ci sono "loro"... posso capire un'incomprensione ma addirittura un coro di almeno 5 "like"... Please tell me the logical steps that led you to think that I was alluding that you spoke about perfection? The meaning is totally different

    Gardaland | Jumanji: The Adventure | Unknown | 2022

    raptor in 2011? 20 MILLIONS The mini dive in 2015? 20 MILLIONS legoland (fantasy kingdom destroyer) mini park? 20 MILLIONS Now they declare OVER 20 millions. It's hard to believe those scammers' numbers. In the last few years italian parks fight with bull****s and inflated numbers. Even...

    how volatile is the park's audience?

    Let me explain and translate (i'll try even if i sucks in english) this picture. Datas are collected, before coronavirus, from mirabilandia's newsletter. The line "prima visita" means first visit. 38% of new guests should be a good thing, or not? mirabilania's attendance isn't clearly known but...

    What is the ideal ratio of major attractions to filler attractions?

    For a park owner is 0. What is better than make money only with rides at the level of a municipal park? The number of big attractions depends on the public that a park wants to build. I noticed that mediocre parks have the tendency to indoctrinate families to believe that big attractions are not...

    Coasters that were built too early?

    For some reasons i say ispeed. One reason is not for coaster for itself but concerns the whole park. ispeed was build after the demolition of sierra tonante, a crappy old school wodie without airtime, except for the final part, but it was the earliest park signature attraction. mirabilandia...

    Vekoma Tilt Coaster coming to Energylandia in 202?

    If it's really only 850m long, it's not cheap at all.

    Most surprising coaster addition ever?

    Katun in mirabilandia, under the Loffelhardt-Casoli property. Consider the perspective of 2000 europe, when even major parks didn't have a single decent """extreme""" coaster. They placed one of the best inverted coaster of the world and also a 1200 m beast in a former "luna park", when nobody...

    CWOA | Mandrill Mayhem (World of Jumanji) | B&M Wing Coaster | 2023

    I also have a similar theory but it's just a mere speculation. The only fact is that there are essentially two schools of thought: who usually raise height restrictions and who doesn't, but the "merlin way" isn't commonly seen in really successful parks.

    CWOA | Mandrill Mayhem (World of Jumanji) | B&M Wing Coaster | 2023

    The hilarious thing is that nearly all (or every?) "extreme" coasters bought by merlin have the strange 1.4 m limit, even if there are nearly identical models with 10, 15 or even 20 cm less and even if they are in the same country. In Germany and italy it's the same. This limit it's like a...

    Energylandia | Abyssus | Vekoma Shockwave+ | 2021

    This thing reminds me very much of Gardaland. The only constant: merlin entertainments.

    (Maybe) the dumbest height restrictions and the most unfortunate park in the world

    They can't but they are trained to used other ways such as: "how old are you" "12" "when were you born?". Some guests does not care about age restrictions, but are few compared to the others. Kids pay full ticket if are 140 cm even if they aren't 12 years old.

    (Maybe) the dumbest height restrictions and the most unfortunate park in the world

    Hi, i'm a ungrammatical coaster fan from Italy and I wanted to show you maybe the most ridiculous restrictions. Yes, 12 Year Old to run a coaster! Have you ever seen a park with such stupid restrictions? Here some examples from Mirabilandia: Katun (an enhanced Raptor): 140 cm and 12 years...

    Skyline Park remove Sky Dragster after 3 years

    I apologize for my improvised English and for this OT but i have some words to spend. It was quoted to cost €25 million but it wouldn't be the first time Mirabilandia inflates the actual amount it spent. For example, Divertical was quoted for €20 millions but in none financial statements was...
