This park is in Sicily, which, though part of Italy, is a separate island that you need to fly to. And I think I will be flying there next year... :)

This park looks really nice, and I'm completely intrigued by that dark ride. Definitely a new concept, or at least one that I've never seen.

Hello everyone!

I have made a recreation of The Storm to give everyone an idea of the final outcome for the ride.

Enjoy

^ Great video Jammy, looks like you've done a great amount of research on this coaster. I recently saw a picture on Facebook of the ride testing, It looked pretty awesome.

I've always defended Mack in the "Mack ripped of Intamin with their Launch coaster" debate. But this time I think it's a bit to obvious. A very similar design, and even the same amount of cars on the train! (who looks gorgeous by the way).

It`s really OBVIOUS that someone took a look at the Intamin Megalites...but maybe it was the Park asking for that kind of Layout ?

Anyway...I think the price was not the reasons for choosing Mack as mack is more of a high end fabricate AFAIK...it`s no Vekoma, guys ;)

This mixture of basically a megalite-layout plus inversion plus the comfort of those AWESOME (!) mack trains...nothing wrong about it :p

This looks perfect!
Sure, no Mega-Lite, but still not far behind.

No, it's always been planned to 2013.
The ride is part of a new Theme Park, built by a water park, in Sicily.

The whole project will open in 2013.
