Mirabilandia Discussion Thread

[The YetiI'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

DiVertical? Really? I'm gonna go ahead and say this name is dumber than Cheetah Hunt. I'm interested to see where this ride goes, but I want to see this name get changed STAT

[matteocrepaldiI love donkeys more than me.]

I don't know where but this photo is in the blog too.

[ernierockerWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

I think out of all the 2012 projects, this has to be one of, if not the most intriguing project for me. It might be the mysterious (and almost ridiculous at times) information that the park has released about this ride, but I find myself checking the progress of it each day. Really interested to see the coaster sections starting to go up and what the final product will look like!

Totally. Also, I like bow-legged women, so this shot in particular was a pleasure to look at.

You know, RoCo...when I read THAT comment I have to admit that your avatar was choosen perfectly

Thank you, sir.

Agreed. This one has snuck up on me as "one to watch" for next year. Cost-effectiveness aside, I'd love to see this lift system used in a dark ride/coaster, too.

Sea World San Diego's Journey to Atlantis uses a similar elevator system indoors with projectors...

Am I the only one who's really disappointed in the coaster choice? Water coasters do nothing for me, I just think of them as extended flume rides. IMO a hyper coaster would be a much smarter investment, but I am inTerested to see how this thing turns out.

No it would really not be.
This parks need a big family thrill ride, and that's what they are getting.
I'm also positive that the worlds biggest water coaster will bring more guests than Italy's biggest coaster.

*Slaps forehead hard*

Of course... I've only ridden SD's JoA once, and I'd totally forgotten about it. Yeah, the elevator lift is the best part of that ride!

[David Hthe ghost seems to think there is a "Donkey Fairy"]

Remember, folks, even if you don't like water rides, and/or even if it's not open in time for the TPR Italy tour, Mirabilandia is an amazing park. And it's the only park in the world with TWO top 10 coasters. So, if Divertical is open and you like that kind of coaster/ride, then it's an extra bonus. Even if Divertical isn't be the reason to go to Mirabilandia, Katun and iSpeed are!

Okay Ill admit a hypercoaster would make the majority of rides too intense, however this water coaster is still very tall and fairly fast, so Im not entirely sure it'd be classified as a family ride.
