Theme Park Review's Italy 2012 Tour!

[jbottgenDoes Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

Very beautiful park. Need to add it to my "one day I will get there" list.

[Hilltopper39Don't make me kick you in the donkey!]

Shock looks awesome! I've always thought it would be really cool to have a major coaster with a single car train, the forces on that thing must be insane!

Now someone build a 200ft wild mouse....

[Der Der DongtDid the donkey fairy give me this title?]

Were you guys able to figure out if Shock was supposed to get a darkride part or some theming before the launch?
The way it is now looks kind of unfinished.

Today was a day of "random stuff" - from visiting a small park called Fiabilandia, to spending some time at the beach and just hanging out. We were in a resort town called "Rimini" and here are our adventures...


For the next couple of nights, we will be base camped in the Italian beach resort of Rimini.


Taking a break from theme park to check out the beach!


Ooooh! I should pick up a few things!


After a visit to Rainbow Magicland, and a long drive, we could use a night chilling with a few beers!


"That's right, bitches, I own the joint!"


Our first liter of beer... Gone!


Now onto our second liter!


Kevin is still working on his first!


I love licking the head!


Almost done with liter #2!


Robb hanging out with the owner of the bar!


Great photo bomb, guy!!!


"Would anyone like to buy a rose from this zombie?"


I bought Nolan a rose because I'm hoping to score with him!


You two get a room!!!


"Hey Robb, Wanna find love in a hopeless place?" *wink*


Hanging out with the owner of the bar. He loved us!!!


Let's go check out the beach at night!


Love these pathways that go right out to the water!


Yay! We're drunk on the beach!


"When you gotta go!"


The next morning... Free apples?


"YOU'RE Welcome!"


Today we were hitting up a family park in Rimini called Fiabilandia!


TPR is ready to check this place out!


It's nice!


We are about to check out "The World's Most Awesome Wacky Worm!"


The girls are ready to ride!


It's totally a legit Wacky Worm, but this one is crazy long, totally themed, and awesome!


It does actually have hills and stuff, so it's a real coaster!


KidTums totally LOVED this ride!


This Wacky Worm goes through TWO apples!


Oh, and please try to keep your clothes on while you ride!


See! It even has the worm part!


Theming inside the cave!


Wacky worm part!!!


Inside the Wacky Worm apple!


The Wacky Worm even had an onride photo!


Next up was the spinning mouse.


Next up was the spinning mouse.


It actually spun a LOT!


NOT "Elissa Approved!"


There are so many things wrong with this photo that I don't know where to begin.


"Look! I'm Woody...Howdy, Howdy, Howdy..."


It's just like being in the Country Bear Jamboree!


Tell me, is this a "Dan Friendly Ride?"


Checking the kiddie boat ride thing!


Turns out, Merlin is kind of a psychopath!


A rock vending machine... Yup!


"HEY YOU!!! TAKE THAT F%#CKING HAT OFF!!! NOW!!!"


Would YOU want to be touched by Ken?


Thank you Fiabilandia... What a really nice, cute park!


Back in Rimini for a day on the beach hanging out!


This is my favourite beach!


Found a really cool place for lunch!


Cool...


Mmmmmm....the only ingredients you need!


"This looks amazing!"


And keeping count, I believe this is day six, and Elissa has had fresh mozzarella nine times!


This place was really great!


Robb & Nolan on a pizza date!


Oh, good... Just what we need is to be more creeped out by random stuff!


The beaches here are really cool... Each one of the hotels has a private beach area with some really nice amenities.


Let’s go to the beach, each, Let’s go get away


The hotels have places to sit, umbrellas, bar service, etc!


KidTums getting her feet wet in the Adriatic sea!


Hanging out at the beach!


The water was clear enough you could see the fish!


Beached whale!!!


Yup....it's the water.


KidTums looking for shells and stuff...


Someone push Craig in!!!


Seriously, these may be some of the nicest beaches I've seen anywhere!


Later in the afternoon we visited a small amusement center called Santa Fe. Maybe we'll see Jack Kelly here?


This amusement center is literally in the back yard of some of these hotels and houses.


But there is a kiddy coaster here!


It's mostly kiddie rides and games!


A couple of go kart tracks...


But most important a powered Wacky Worm!


Yup, another Wacky Worm in Italy!!!


Credit whores rejoice!!!


They were so proud that we all came to ride their roller coaster, they let it go around about 20 times each!


This may be the most whorish thing we did the whole trip!


Oh, did we mention the park was closed and we had to bribe the guy to open the ride for us? Yeah...


KidTums even did a little bowling!


Some of the kids games they had here were "interesting!"


That is one VERY day glo dinosaur!


Love these kids rides!!!


We got the credit! Cha-Ching! Time to head back!


I could use this place sometimes!!!


Our dinner was on the top floor of our hotel with this amazing view!

There's free wine! Piers and Renee will be so jealous! :)

OK, on my list of places to see before I die, Italy has jumped to the top after this TR. Lovely beach! Gotta love the parks, and the food, too.

[jammy2by4What would donkeys be like on the moon?]

I've got to agree, that beach is one of the best ones I have ever seen.

[sspaz1000I prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

Those beaches and the sea look amazing. Seems like you guys are having a fantastic time with fantastic food!

[piersTPR's Hairstylist to the Stars!]

It was so cute when Elissa pretended to not hate the beach!

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

Beaches, clear water, mozzarella, free wine, and a terrain Wacky Worm . . . works for me.

[robinschroderWhen I grow up, I want to breed donkeys!]

Una relazione sfolgorante!
