Gardaland Day One Vlog April 2019

[@paullucas3174]

I love how Shawn doesn’t care at all what country he is in and no matter what language they speak, he always, without fail, he ALWAYS promotes his channel with the classic “THEME PARK WORLDWIDE ON KZbin CHECK IT OUT!!!”. Too good

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It just has to be done!

[@eviewilliamshunter8833]

Paul Lucas then he says love it afterwards 😂

[@orionsonny3220]

i guess it's kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch new movies online?

[@connorlorenzo2162]

@Orion Sonny Lately I have been using flixzone. Just google for it :)

[@julianbrayan2691]

@Connor Lorenzo Yea, I've been watching on Flixzone for months myself =)

[@tagonkillick2270]

I've missed Martin! He's got such a fun energy! Great vlog Shawn loved it!

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

We all love Martin

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching!

[@gavinwolves2528]

Yes!!! More Martin and less Alex please (sorry alex) :)

[@themeparkkrazykid4420]

More of Martin

[@rideexpedition]

@@gavinwolves2528 that will probably happen alot more now... 😐

[@angelofacipieri]

Ramses is another beautiful ride destroyed by Merlin. It was a dark ride called "la valle dei re". You can find some old pov on youtube

[@starlit-rain]

I was on that ride when we were in Italy for vacation!! Must have been like 2007 or so

[@xcoasterenthusiast]

You should make a video of your top 10 worst coasters you ridden

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for your suggestion

[@thomasdouwes4322]

Martin is back! So happy to see him back in the vlogs!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We had such a good time!

[@goldentapes]

Oh my god, the new I Corsari looks stunning! I loved this ride so much when we rode it back in 2015, I thought it was a hidden gem. So good to see they made it even better instead of merlinesque neglect!

[@adhague7]

Martins actually got a decent hair cut for once! Congrats mate!

[@Jacob_-yi6oy]

Is that a roast? It sounds so sarcastic.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching!

[@badmoonrising7795]

Omg... Martin has got rid of that weird 2003 haircut... I know I’m not the first to comment on this, but I felt this was a monumental moment in theme park worldwides history! Great vlog guys 👍

[@eddycs195]

Beautiful vlog!!! Amazing!!! Thank you so much from all italian theme park enthusiast!!! Grazie mille da parte di tutti gli appassionati di parchi divertimenti in italia!😉

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching!

[@mr.rollercoasters]

Amazing I'm glad to see Martin and I'm glad to see you visiting Gardaland!!!

[@ThemeParksMaick]

1:20:12 The lore behind the mad house is that there is a evil mage spirit (the big face you can see while you are in the elevator) that is occupying the house of Prezzemolo (the tree). In the pre show Prezzemolo explain to the guests that he can feel someone is in his house because strange things are occuring , like the clock going crazy or the light going out for no reason and then the guests enter the ride and the mage show the guests that he is the one that owns that house flipping all the thing upside down and stuff...

[@Shag471]

Just seeing this older video but I love Martin! ❤

[@Balootoyoutoo]

It’s crazy how much this park looks like different parks all mashed into one, Portaventura, Alton towers, paultons etc. And by the feel of the park, apart from how well kept it is, you can deffo tell it’s merlin. Thanks again Shawn for a great video

[@thebookexpedition7878]

So many vlogs from this week!!! Looking forward to sitting down and watching them ALL on the weekend. I also just realised there is a part 2 to this vlog so that's even better. Thx to everyone at Theme Park Worldwide!!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching!

[@kittikoko]

Blows my mind that Merlin can maintain a park so well! 😂

[@niamhymbird]

My partner and I visited Gardaland in 2019, I never realised you had been and vlogged it! Thank you for this video, brought back lots of great pre-covid memories for me

[@LilzMay-sk3ew]

I'd love to go to this park! It looks amazing!😁🎢

[@xcoasterenthusiast]

Im going next year

[@impatience4450]

@@xcoasterenthusiast You'll absolutely love it!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It sure is a great park!

[@EZ_Aviation]

Bro I found myself at 0:00 at the back in the orange upper and doing a goofy ahh ninja run😂😂

[@ThemeParkCoastin]

Has to be one of my favourite theme parks

[@Uniqetz]

Great vlog. It’s mad how a park can change so much in 4 years.

[@AmusementInsider]

Mad Houses need to make there way over to more American parks. I absolutely love them.

[@inkermanplatoon2210]

Martins a legend! 🎢😎

[@edwardjoynes7961]

One of the first Europe trips in 2019 Amazing vlog!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching!

[@garion]

40:53 before the Merlin's rehab this attraction (La Valle dei Re) was incredible. Now it's simply disgusting.

[@sirhenners204]

agreed. went to the park when they were building Oblivion

[@penpolyon8179]

I agree la Valle dei Re was such an iconic dark ride, on par with corsari now it's just so shit.

[@StuHolland]

Thank god Martin sorted his Barnet out! Great video as always fellas

[@jackgamer1476]

19:43 cant believe blue tornado has 3 trains and our very own infusion runs 2 trains but when I went to alton towers on the 29th March 2019 th13teen ran a 3 train service with a 10 min queue

[@jaysoncowan4333]

Well infusion only has 2 trains so it would be impossible to run it on 3

[@3Davmawey]

I Corsari = The Corsairs (bucaneers) :) Then again they both sound similar so it shouldn't be hard to figure out! P.S: Since you guys looked quite confused afte riding Magic House, here's the plot for it: Prezzy (dragon) finds a secret cave under his tree and decides to move down there, though according to him, all of his friends have quite strong reservations about that place. They think it's haunted by the sorcerer who used to live there before, but Prezzy refuses to give in to such silly superstitions and proceeds showing you around, until the ghost of the Sorcerer (same creepy guy from the elevator) appears and knocks Prezzy unconscious. He then takes the reins of the tour and haunts the room in the next scene. Then, while exiting the ride, you'll hear Prezzy's voice commenting he's had the weirdest dream. :)

[@rayaisherelmao]

From where did you find the Magic House part???

[@3Davmawey]

@@rayaisherelmao Nowhere! Italian is my mother language ;)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for sharing!

[@3Davmawey]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide I'm glad to make the experience even better for you guys!

[@rapking4282]

In my top 10 parks worldwide. Definitly! 1 Cedar point 2 Europa park 3 Portaventura 4 Universal orlando resort 5 Phantasialand 6 Gardaland 7 ... What's your top 10? Sorry for my english.

[@ig1357]

Eres el primer italiano que conozco que pone a PortAventura por delante de Gardaland 😝

[@itslydz607]

I bet you barely spend time at home coz your always at theme parks 😂😂 I’m going to Drayton manor on Monday and I’m really excited as I haven’t been there for 2 years

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

Superb vlog shawn, lovely to see Martin again.the park looks wonderful too.it doesn't get enough of your coverage.

[@eddycs195]

Yea but fantasy kingdom was built first than the area at portaventura, and they was projected both by the same italian engenieer

[@keithtempleman705]

I did Shaman with VR. Was my first (and only) VR coaster. They managed the queues well by getting tickets to come back during the park. Glad it went though!

[@oscarhansley]

I remember going here at the end of 2016. Such a great park with some brill rides and the Italian weather is always a plus. Feels strange not walking into a merlin park in the rain though...

[@PixelDrift64]

Love this park! Prezzemolo means Parsley in Italian.

[@rapking4282]

This park is awesome

[@Maredona]

Shawn's friend makes the best facial expriessions. I just laugh everytime i see him

[@jacobstaahl4900]

Last i were here was in 2013 and I was 9 years old and I rode all the thrilling coasters like Raptor, Magic Mountain, Blue Tornado and Sequia Adventure

[@Peterwrayadventures]

Brilliant vlog. Lots of great coasters. Weather is great. What more could you want. Always alot more going on that uk theme parks.

[@Nicksterr98]

Shawn, can you drop your bags at the rides and is it safe? Oblivion and Raptor for example

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

You can indeed leave them on the platforms

[@emmylid1327]

Went last year the park is AMAZING rides for all different ages as well as ones for those who love adrenaline rushes. By far the best definitely recommend you visit !!

[@Travelmatt23]

Gardaland looks absolutely beautiful. Except Sequiola Adventure.

[@alexanderwojcik3915]

Shawn and Martin new favourite line "one of my best"

[@DigitalDan]

Visiting here later this year. Really looking forward to it because it looks like a fantastic park!

[@deevilad]

A big green track, which is made by Vek. 🤣

[@Nim_xx]

talking about 'happy theming' I was thinking that for a kids, in this park they (or any park really) should do like a sweetie land with sweets and chocolate gift shops and like candy floss balloon kinda ride and you know just kiddy stuff to do with sweet treats. a park may have done that already but it's just something I would've really liked as a young kid

[@rafven7594]

You can actually find a lot of what you described in fantasy kingdom, there's a whole ride themed after sweets!

[@David-R-Hall]

This is a great park. Need to return! Movieland was a really enjoyable day out as well.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I will definitely visit next time I'm in the area

[@ryandraper9098]

Have been planning on coming here this year funnily enough, thanks for the vid!

[@seandenny3026]

I looked up the distance on google maps between your hometown and Gardaland and found its about the same distance between my home town in Georgia, and Houston, Texas. Did you fly or drive it? Personally I'd drive.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We flew out to Gardaland

[@Nova-jk4wg]

Never heard of this park great coverage

[@gabrivolpi5273]

Hi shawn, you have to search on YT "la valle dei re, Gardaland" it was the old dark ride that now is the shooting ride called "Ramses". It was stunning. They completely ruined it.

[@OgreJoe]

I had a look and it looks much better!

[@traceybeerling4776]

Hi shawn and Martin great vlog nice to see Martin again hope leah and baby are doing well. Looking forward to seeing the next vlogs xxxxx

[@itsbritneybby]

awww did they have a baby, i wonder how they are i miss martin in the vlogs

[@starlit-rain]

Going to Garda for vacation soon, I hope I can visit Gardaland again! I have been there twice and I absolutely loved Raptor and want to try Oblivion: The Black Hole this time :)

[@Danzka1983]

Martin is back 🤟 I like it when you're together making the reviews

[@sophieellen8147]

You cannot miss Kit superjet at movieland next time you go, the best ride in the park in my opinion!

[@jezzermeii]

I like those old Vekomas. The design of the track looks similar to the tracks on a woodie, if you get what I mean. Do they feel like a hybrid at all, or are they most definitely a steel feeling ride?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They do still feel like a steel coaster

[@fulv_uk]

Thank you for this video. I remember going to this park every year when I was a child (40 years ago). Back in those times they used to have real horses to go around the far west town. It was a family run park. Great memories I got of Gardaland. It is very interesting to see how much as changed. Thank you :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching!

[@alexanderwojcik3915]

Loving that you're back with the one and only Martin

[@mrj.o4556]

This has made me so exited to go in October

[@samklijn9136]

I went here as a small kid i really want to go back i loved the little rups coaster and the tree

[@peterbradford9262]

The real question is... Where is Mr Lee wood?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Working hard at Alton Towers!

[@henryireland2287]

It looks an amazing park! Been a fan for 3 years now!

[@Miss.Rachael.P]

Shawn: what's your favourite key on a keyboard, control, alt or delete? Martin: enter 🤣🤣🤣

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Love it!

[@BUEAU]

@ 31:53 yeah right, Shawn. We know you love being in front of cam LOL! You're a natural, so good.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@morganspencer9885]

Really good vlog , would love to visit gardaland

[@farissmajic7179]

I will visit Gardaland for 7th time, for 20 days♥️ I love it.

[@JoriDiculous]

what a coincident im having Pizza and pink bubbly while watching this :D Great vlog from a park i knew nothing about, and good to see Martin again :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching

[@hugopani6393]

How funny that I also visited Gardaland in 2015 and 2019.

[@greghudson4906]

I Corsari’s my favourite Merlin dark ride as well, it really is a hidden gem!

[@jesserico]

Good to see you two together, enjoy your trip!

[@vickysharpe892]

Just watched it from 2015 on ride, it looks mint

[@garylock9596]

49.46, mutiny bay shark makes a surprise appearance! Nice vlog!

[@rentzboss]

Some traslations from an Italian fan of yours: 1) "Prezzemolo", the mascotte's name actually means "parsley" in english 2) "Fuga da Atlantide" means "Flight from Altantis" or something like that 3) "I Corsari" means "The Pirates/corsairs"

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for these!

[@anzej2101]

Oh i just love to se martins reactions

[@deventate9142]

Maybe parks stop spending money for up keep on props and nice theming elements because the GP tears it up... enthusiasts are the only ones who REALLY appreciate it... awesome vid !

[@peterhuismusic]

I believe (seeing the ride) Shaman is the same layout as Python, but Python did get a new track without a recalculated layout. The trains are now the same style I believe. Didn’t know there was a second Python!

[@jezzermeii]

What a great park! Shame that Merlin doesn't keep standards up in the UK! Perhaps their opinion is that competition in the UK isn't the same as competition in Europe, so they can get away with lesser maintenance. Brilliant vlog and great to see Martin too. :) Take care mate and keep up the great work!

[@Mike00107]

The tent from oblivion the black hole uses to be an horror house with live acors but they removed iT

[@zonevortex6660]

Sorry I’m late for these two vlogs, but great video as always

[@rAndy_883]

The "Corsari" were a different kind of pirates, actually I don't know if are the same thing, but could be translated as "The Buccaneers".

[@park.therapy]

1:02:50 In 2017 I rode Shaman withe the VR and I really like it, it was (with the VR) my second favourite roller coaster at Gardaland, it wasn't bad. There were a lot of surprising moment on there, and I was pretty sad when they said the virtual reality was gone on Shaman because I really enjoyed that.

[@onerandomperson]

Going here in July, very excited! Any tips about the park? Great blog x

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Have fun, make sure you arrive early as it does get busy especially at the turnstiles

[@harrysenior1730]

I went in 2017 with the VR and I did really like it!

[@Glitzygamergirl]

Just out of curiosity, say if you’re riding the rapids or any other rides where there is other people in the boat who might end up on camera do you ask them if they mind being filmed or not? Random I know haha but great video!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I do indeed

[@themeparkkrazykid4420]

Gardaland or miribilandia ?I just wanted to know because our family might make a trip out to Italy 🇮🇹 after corona virus has passed.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Gardaland!

[@Adar512]

You know There is a little park at Rimini,136 miles from Gardaland called Fiabilandia. This is a family park but man,it’s beautiful park and it’s worth at least one visit(you don’t have to visit it now,but when you have the time too) This park is beautifully themed for a small children’s theme park. It’s have not the best rides here and there but they have some nice rides here and again,It looks beautiful. One note is that the rides opened a hour after the park those open,so if you eventually came to Rimini,visit not so early. You can get 3,not great but nice coaster credits here: Miniera d’Oro Del West(“Western Gold Mine” in English)-this unique coaster made by Pinfari and that’s there version of a Mine Train. It was build in 2003 and actually,it’s cute. It reminds me of a larger wacky worm and have some neat theming too and I think that you might enjoy it’s weird sections. SpaceMouse-this coaster opened in 2008 and it’s a Fabbri Power Mouse (Like Rockin Roller at Botton’s pleasure Beach) and I think it’s better than some of their spinning coasters since it have a unique layout and is just fun to ride and spin on it. Valle Degli Gnomi(“Valley Of The Gnomes” in English)-that is another Pinfari and not only that,This is Italy’s oldest coaster,opening in 1976,It’s also the first Big apple of Pinfari and man,This is a wacky worm on steroids. Instead of the usual wacky worm coasters,this have a much longer layout and packed with perfect theming. It’s might be slow but man is it good,and by far the best wacky worm ever created. I hope one day you will come to the park and see it in his beauty,also I’ve heard from peoples in the UK that this a nice theme park too.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We looked into visiting but we couldn't fit it into this trip sadly

[@Adar512]

Theme Park Worldwide its ok,I didn’t meant from you to visit it now since I knew you couldn’t,but I suggesting you to visit when you have time

[@TheHoost2]

Great vlog shawn. What date u at europa park?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I have no date confirmed yet but it will be next month

[@philhunter9134]

I hear no on-ride footage, my heart sinks.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Sadly the park don't allow it

[@joshkirkham4281]

You should really head to movie land, it’s a really unique park

[@philhunter9134]

Good to see Martin. I'm glad it was a good day. But if I was a little kid you took to the park, and you told me I couldn't ride the rides, but I could watch off ride from various angles, I don't think I'd be very happy. Thank heavens for the rapids, where I finally got to experience a themed trough. One more bucket list item checked! Muchos gracias!

[@Tom-ov4lb]

It’s a brilliant park, went in August

[@sdaniel9129]

Haha, I love the way Martin looks at things... When my children are a bit older, I am going to try meet up with you guys haha :D

[@poppydouglas3943]

Haha so funny that I’m going there on a trip to Italy a week today with school and we go to gadaland on the Sunday what a coincidence 😂xx

[@AdamTPC]

Great video I really want to go there

[@davidGPS95]

Where did you stay in Lake Garda that is best to get to Gardaland and is public transport easy to get ?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We stayed on site at Gardaland

[@gabrielstevens3884]

There are shuttle busses that connect Peschiera train station to the park. Also the bus between Verona and Garda stops right outside the park.

[@ThatSoundsFun]

Would love to see a top 10 dark ride video for sure!

[@fabio.scw4]

I perfer Raptor to Oblivion it was running really good when I went there.

[@kirstylee7107]

Lol Martin's a right laugh he almost sounds like mr bean😆

[@toxicwaste200]

Great video guys and good to see my baby dropping into that black hole

[@simonegraffi3698]

Great vlog as always! Here some fun facts for you: - "I Corsari" means "the Corsairs", the letter "I" is the article and the Corsairs (I don't know if this is a correct translation) were pirates who were allowed by a country to attack other countries' ships. - The Magic House storyline is actually pretty scary: an evil wizard takes over Prezzemolo's house, that's why there are happy moments in contrast with darker ones. - I think it's better to visit Movieland next year, as it will open a new space-themed attraction.

[@VillasByrne]

Great to see a revisit to Gardaland. I think i might want to check it out soon so its good To see you Guys enjoying your time There! 51:18 talking about that. Will you be doing a top 10 Darkrides video at some point? That would be amaizing

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I plan to at some point
