Merlin secures deal with Fox for Ice Age ride

Merlin Entertainments has teamed up with 20th Century Fox with the view of launching a 4D attraction based on the popular Ice Age movie franchise.

Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs - The 4-D Experience will debut at two Merlin parks in March 2012 - Alton Towers in the UK and Gardaland in Italy.

Designed and supplied by SimEx-Iwerks, the immersive attraction will combine 3D film footage from the third movie in the franchise, with an array of synchronized physical effects.

Too bad they couldn't get a 4D film of a good film.


Should be good otherwise I guess

It appears that Ikarus (Huss Condor) and Inferis (haunted walk through) are no longer listed as attractions on the park's website. Inferis only opened in 2010.

True. Gardaland has confirmed that both Ikarus and Inferis will no longer be available in 2012. Ikarus was sold to Miragica while Inferis was in my opinion one of the worst horror walk through ever and it's better this way.
With Raptor opened last year I wasn't expecting much for this season. I hope for something in 2013.

Gardaland has sent us a press release about their extension of park hours for the remainder of the Summer!

Starting from the 15th of June Gardaland presents Night is Magic, the unbelievable night fun that will extend the opening hours of the park until 11 PM for the whole summer until the 9th of September. An extra 5 hours of extraordinary fun to experience an unforgettable evening in the enchanting setting of the N.1 Amusement Park in Italy.

Night is Magic will bring along all the enchantment of the night, turning the place into a dream location thanks to a fascinating atmosphere rich in dazzling lights, colours and fantastic attractions, made even more scenographic by the night, letting Gardaland’s Guests enjoy unmatchable emotions.

On the 15th of June the arrival of Gardaland Night is Magic will be celebrated with an unprecedented, electrifying event: “Number One… Night is Magic”, a memorable party in the company of the legendary DJs of Radio Number One Edo and Luca Viscardi, who will bring along the best from the 80s to today, in the Valley of Kings square, where eight amazing female dancers will show the public irresistible choreographies for you to dance along to. Valley of Kings square will hence turn into an open air disco! For the first time ever an aspiring DJ, chosen between all participants of the contest created by Radio Number One and Gardaland “DJ per una Notte” (DJ for a night), voted by the users of the http://www.djperunanotte.com website, will be able to perform a 20-minute session of his own music set. Nothing better to kick-start the night fun of Gardaland, the Amusement Park that keeps surprising all its Guests with constantly new offers in a young and stimulating context.

What an unmissable opportunity it will be to enjoy the Park’s fantastic attractions in this wonderful night setting, rich in fantasy and fun, that will make Guests of Gardaland experience real open-eyed dreams. The untameable wings of Raptor, the Only Winged Rollercoaster in Italy, will take its courageous passengers into an electrifying adventure which, with the arrival of the sunset, will become really unbeatable, allowing them to hover in the air, vaulting under a starry sky, stars which will look almost within reach between one inversion and the other and thanks to an exciting descent from an impressive 33 metres of height. Only recently Raptor won the silver medal in the category “Best race in Europe” as part of the annual rankings of Parkscout Awards 2012, a prize that gets assigned based on the judgement of an international committee of experts!

But Night is Magic will also be the right occasion to discover Gardaland’s new additions for 2012: L’ERA GLACIALE L’ESPERIENZA 4D, a fantastic multisensory adventure that combines 3D images taken from the blockbuster cartoon and an incredible variety of special effects.

And let’s not forget about the magnificent shows staged by the exceptional artistic cast of the Park who will know how to make Night is Magic even more special. Jewel of the crown is the outstanding conclusive show Il Sogno di Gardaland (Gardaland’s dream): a unique spectacle that, for the first time, will bring to the Park extraordinarily evocative 3D images projected in the setting of the Valley of Kings. A romantic and spectacular show that will lead spectators into a wonderful journey suspended between dream and reality. Sabbia Magica: la Forza della Natura (Magic Sand: the Force of Nature) will also provide unforgettable emotions thanks to the skilful hands of Paolo Carta that will give birth to incredible sand drawings. A surprising spectacle that will let you discover just how strong is the tie uniting Earth with nature. Also not to be missed Magical Adventure – a musical show, ritual and mysterious that, with the power of magic, will teach the crowd of Gardaland Theatre to respect the Universe in which we live and Magicalchimia the show on stage at the Castello di Mago Merlino (Merlin’s Castle) where magic potions will transform as part of an event that will provide emotions to spectators of all ages.

Gardaland Hotel has also put together an exclusive package for the summer that will allow its Guests to enjoy a real VIP holiday. The Gardaland VIP package includes: two-night stay; international buffet breakfast at the Wonder Restaurant; Magic Happy Hour at the Relaxing Café; buffet dinner (house drinks included) at the Wonder Restaurant; combined ticket 2 DAYS AT GARDALAND PARK + 1 DAY AT GARDALAND SEA LIFE AQUARIUM that grants 2 entries to Gardaland Park and 1 entry to Gardaland SEA LIFE Aquarium in 3 days of your choice; a Plush toy of Prezzemolo, the one and only mascot of Gardaland; special GARDALAND EXPRESS VIP pass, valid for one day, granting fast access to the most coveted attractions of the Park; reserved seats at Gardaland Theatre to witness fantastic exhibitions and get photos taken with the artists (valid for one show); OZOSI’ treatment, in-room process of ozone-based sanitization. Price of the stay starting from € 131.00 per person a day for two adults and one child, aged between 3 and 12 in a standard room, with a double bed and a single armchair bed.

This long day of fun will cost 37.50 euro for the full ticket and 31 euro for reduced ones (children younger than 10, army men, seniors above the age of 60 and accompaniers of non-self-sufficient disabled people) but tickets and season passes for families of 3, 4, 5 people, combined tickets to visit Gardaland Park and Gardaland SEA LIFE Aquarium will also be available along with a multitude of convenient opportunities reserved to those who will purchase their ticket directly from the http://www.gardaland.it site.

With the specific aim of enjoying the Amusement Park also during summer nights, Gardaland launches a great initiative with an evening ticket from 6 PM to 11 PM for only 16 euro: five hours of unmatchable fun in the enchanting setting of Italy’s n.1 Amusement Park! The evening pass for the whole season is offered at 51 euro with free parking.

http://www.theparks.it/gardaland-p1/notizie/2013/01/la-novita-2013-di-gardaland-e-quelle-nel-cassetto-n1333/

Beat the Christmas holiday parks begin to reveal the news that characterize the season of fun 2013.

Today we talk about Ben and his choice to add to the amusement park only a new show. The partnership between Dreamworks and Merlin led to the creation of a new show that will take the title of "Madagascar Live!: It's Circus Time".

As the name implies it will be a live show that will stage the characters of the famous animated film.

In short, even the shadow of one of the innovations that were announced with continuous ricorrersi of unofficial.

We are talking about the project, already deposited with the town of Castelnuovo, for the creation of a "Twist'n'Splash" attraction already in the drawer for several years, which presumably could occupy the area left blank by the Medieval Tournament.

Nothing done even for a copy of "Nemesis Sub Terra" attraction that should perhaps take advantage of the current storyline created by the Raptor.

This season, like last year, will open its doors to the public as early as the week-end of March, with the celebration of the Carnival of "Parsley in Maschera". Here you will find all the information regarding schedules, attractions and entertainment provided.

An interesting innovation is the implementation of an important event dedicated to the catering trade. On 23 and 24 May in fact Gardaland will host EuroChocolate 2013 that will be accessed by purchasing a special ticket at 15 euro. Here all information.

I wonder if the Madagascar LIVE show will be more or less the same one that's now at Everland.
