Isn't it wonderful to feel like a kid again?
15 years ago I was in Gardaland with my mom and in my memory it was wonderful, but I remember very little. I was looking forward to being a little child just for this day and enjoy in a children's fantasy with cartoon characters who once was my main topic of conversation.
The ticket to Gardaland is around 40 €, but if you buy 7 days in advance and know exactly which day you will be there, you will go for almost 10 € cheaper.
If you have an adrenaline appetite, you will satisfy it. I personally didn't have it, so I avoided these drivings, but I often stoped by these rides and admire the people who enjoy that speed.
I came to the conclusion that in the last 10 years adrenaline drivings has progressed significantly and that is really very good and tempting, but you still have to have "balls" for that. :)
Some drivings from distance seem very scary that I don't know how I would survive in real driving. Some of these are the most famous Blue Tornado and Shaman.
My driving type is category called Adventure.
The driving has a story and there is still a bit of adrenaline. Not too much, but enough to spice up the thing. I recommend Jungle rapids, Colorado boat and Fuga da Atlantide.
You have to be prepared to get out pretty wet, so after these great rides that will not be a problem.
If you have time you can watch some of the great shows with different themes.
We watched the pirate show.
There is also a third category, Fantasy.
It is more intended for younger people but some drivings are cult.
One part is separate for the little ones and at least you have to go to see how great that part was made. I was delighted. Cartoon in live!
Gardaland is not too big and you can really do all rides in one day. If you are not interested in all the drivings but only those "more serious", in half day you will be done.
Is it worth it?
It is all worth it to relax a little and when at the end of the day your cheekbones hurt a little because of the laughs. :)
