Luneur Park, Italy - Reopening 2013

[Martyn B]

Through Google translate:

The oldest amusement park of Italy "Luneur Park" was created in 1953, but closed its doors in 2008.

Lately threaten some European parks to be closed or have already announced that withdrawals in existence. Fortunately, there is also the opposite and the park will reopen in 2013 under the name "Luneur".

The park will have 16 new (especially Zamperla) attractions open. Even some old-Luneur attractions will reopen with a new look. The total cost of € 16 million

Fab looking Pinfari Mine Train is reopening! How many parks will Rome now have? It is shaping up to be one of the most epic cred cities

According to RCDB, 3 of their old creds are SBNO. Only 2 of which I can see mentioned on the map above. They are:

The fabulously tackily themed Pinfari Mine Train (http://rcdb.com/1309.htm)

The big apple (http://rcdb.com/1308.htm)

The one that's not listed (which is arguably the most interesting of the three) is the powered Pinfari of WTF?! (http://rcdb.com/1307.htm)

I went on one of those powered Pinfari things when it was at Blackpool and it was really, REALLY fab. Much better than the Mack equivalent.

^Was that that Tokaydo Express thing? I know I rode it when I was about 9 or 10, and remember enjoying it. I just put it down to me being a kid, but I've got no proper recollection to the point where I'd be able to say now if it was actually any good or not.

Yep, that's the badger. It had surprisingly high-G on the turns. Likewise, my memory may be a little faulty, but I was always shocked to find that I enjoyed it more than every other ride at Blackpool that wasn't the Nash.

I do remember it being a bit slow over the straight bits though, but absolutely hammering through the corners.

Seems as if the park has sort opened already:

And apparently, the park is now run by the people behind that Cinecitta World studios park.

Might this actually reopen in 2015? According to this July 2014 article, it might just open next month.

PS: Is that a roller coaster I spy in the foreground?

This park a Pasaje Del Terror when it first opened which was just left to rot apparently, so for me, it's a really interesting project.
