2019 will be a Year of Magic at Gardaland in Italy, with the theme park announcing a lineup of new and improved attractions to accompany the opening of the new Magic Hotel.
The new additions include a magical walk-through experience, a re-themed roller coaster and updated shows.
Gardaland's new 128-room fully themed 4-star Magic Hotel is set to open on 31st May 2019.
Foresta Incantata (Enchanted Forest) is going to be a walk-through attraction, an interactive place dedicated to families who will be part of an extraordinary experience in a world where anything can happen, among plants and magic flowers, talking trees, giant mushrooms and fantastic creatures.
After walking under the wizard’s big hat, positioned at the entrance of the magic portal, visitors will discover the forest’s story and will be invited to start their mission: saving the Magic Forest. The Wizard of Gardaland will indeed require the support of younger guests to stop the Evil Witch who is threatening to turn the Forest into stone. The bravest ones will become Sorcerer Apprentices and they will help the Wizard to break the spell and save the Foresta Incantata and its inhabitants.
The bravest among wizards and witches, looking for a magic experience full of excitement, will be delighted to find out that Gardaland is reopening a thrilling ride in a new magical context. Sequoia Magic Loop, with an exciting course that reaches a maximum height of approximately 30 metres from the ground, features a series of 180° inversions and offers the chance to experience the thrill of hanging upside down multiple times.
Sequoia Magic Loop previously operated at Gardaland under the name Sequoia Adventure. It is a S&S inverted 'Screaming Squirrel' steel roller coaster, that originally opened in 2005.
Gardaland's daily Welcome Show at the opening of the theme park will see Prezzemolo, accompanied by beautiful winged fairies and by knights of the enchanted realm, welcoming guests with a new magical soundtrack.
Teatro della Fantasia (Theatre of Fantasy) will play host to a show called La Fata delle Bolle (The Fairy Tale of Bubbles), an evocative experience starring a performer of international stature.
Another addition for 2019 will be Magic Elements, a spectacular show with rich video-mapping special effects, spectacular water and fire displays, theatrical pyrotechnics and many other surprises.
