This ride was created by Claudio Mazzoli (who has worked for Disney parks in the USA) and Richard Crane. They were inspired by Disneyland's "Pirates of the Caribbean." At the time (1990/92) this attraction was the best in Europe and cost 60 billion Lire (corresponding to about €55 million today). Until 2017, this ride was much better than now: the story, the effects...for example, in the swamp part there was the low fog effect, with real smoke.... Or, in the underwater scene, there was the smoke effect with misting water all over the area).😢❤

They are pumping all the water to the new Lego water Park, I hate all the branding they are doing

It wasn't created by Claudio Mazzoli, It was Richard Crane, one of the best in theming at the time. Mazzoli created the ship in the battle scene and the resturant in the village outside the attraction

They removed a lot of elements and projections in the last 20 years, also the lighting is all over the place. Check out the original version of this ride that was much better.

This ride was a masterpiece back in 1992. The story and the theming were amazing, the rooms were huge but filled with details (now half of them have been removed). Too bad the park isn't run by the local people any more, attentuon to details and to the story is lost, the ride has too many problems and needs to be renewed to come back at its best shape. But we're lucky the ride is stil there considering they destroyed the first big and origina dark ride to make Jumanji wich has problems since day one and is less than half as beautiful as the original "valle dei re"

The projector sections were absolutely the weakest part of the ride. The physical theming was done really well, good use of lighting and textures, the visual storytelling was all there. You can see the animatronics are starting to age, which is expected for an older ride, but the captain in the one scene looked fairly twitchy so it might be past time to replace him. It's nice to see smaller parks use creativity and solid design choices to be able to pull off a solid quality ride like this without the huge budgets of bigger parks.

@Alex-fo6bc 11 ай бұрын

This ride opened in 1992 and it was spectacular. Imagineers from disneyland came to help designing and building the ride. At the time there were no projections on the walls and the experience was unbelievable, at the same level of pirates if the Caribbean. More animatronics, they were new and top technology at the time, more storytelling about two souls guiding you through the whole ride. Still beautiful today but yes, the projections are very weak.

@alessandrograglia345 11 ай бұрын

What? Smaller parks? Gardaland is the most visited park belonging to Merlin Entertainments, the second company of amusement parks in the world... It doesn't seem a small park, at least in my opinion.

@BrianMcCorkle2001 6 ай бұрын

100000000000000000% this. Saying this is "comparable to Pirates of the Caribbean is like saying Frosted Flakes is comparable to pancakes. Yes, they both have pirates in them but that was the ONLY thing the 2 attractions have in common. The animatronics that did move were jittery and only had one movement. Lights just "switched" on during scenes for the first half of the ride and then slowly faded up on the second half. While I don't have an issue with using them in rides, the projections were washed out and the "actors" look like they were picked up from a middle school drama club. I understand that this might not have had the biggest budget, but you can clearly tell they blew 90% of it on the sets and the rest of the immersive elements were a total afterthought...

@Scattix 6 ай бұрын

This Is not a small park, or ti be precise It wasn't when the ride was realized. Back in the day It was Majestic. Now half of the animatronics are broken or removed, the story has been changed so much by the video and doesn't male any sense now. Since It has been never repaired or replaced in time, its still quite good for having 31 years. But the park direction doesn't want to fix all the problem and bring It back to its old beauty

The use of projector screens just makes the ride seem cheap and flat. This reminds me of a slightly better version of the pirate ride at Six Flags Over Texas. Cheap and underwhelming. It's almost as if they went over budget and had to scale back some of the rooms and scenes.

@ien2023 11 ай бұрын

Props were good but they need to hide the projectors better and improve on the animatronics. Projection has the same issue with Disney Shanghai. WHen you don'e have enough animatronics, the space feels empty.

@Haxel0rd 10 ай бұрын

Why are they replacing animatronics with screens? Screens are not that interesting, they should use modern tech like robots as "next gen animatronics", instead of screens. EDIT: not meaning the projectors that project on actual scenery- those look great!

@lagbait3076 11 ай бұрын

I agree with what has been said, it's sparse and the projections kind of take away from it. That said, it seems like an awesome structure as far as the ride vehicles and track, it has potential it just isn't there.

Turn down some lights, especially of the "projections" or LED screens whatever hey might be, and you got a worthy rival of Pirates of the Caribbean and Pirates in Batavia. Pretty long, lots to see, great design and use of color and theming. All in all a very cool ride.

Everything feels like its soooo close to being good but just slightly off. The colors are beautiful and some of those practical sets are great. But then it's immediately followed by a largely empty corridor. They have some animatronics but most of the movement feels pointless yet a lot of scenes would benefit from more kineticism.

the original version of 1992 was way better and ahead his times, animatronics' movements were better too, they made this cheap 2.0 version of the ride to cover years of lack of mantenainance, with projections completly disconnected to the original stories, the origina version was way more dark and misterious, with diffused fog (in the forest for example... It's not a mistery: Merlin doesnt love animatronics...
