EC! Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I've always wanted to go to miribilandia, the rides there look awesome, I really want to try ispeed, cos that looks fun, and divertical as well:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I was going to post about this in the Small Parks Thread but it turns out we do have a thread for this park... http://www.ilrestodelcarlino.it/ravenna/cosa fare/mirabilandia-ducati-1.3564935 The park are opening a Ducati themed land in 2019. I'd never heard of Ducati, but apparently they're a motorcycle thing... Centrepiece of the land is a coaster, which is naturally expected to a motorbike coaster of some variety. Some early rumours are suggesting that it won't be one of the more well known Vekoma or Intamin varieties, but instead a Maurer Spike Coaster... https://rcdb.com/13786.htm http://www.spike.de/ Looks like a fun enough ride, but not something I really would have seen Mirabilandia going for...

Benin Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Still no gotten over the disappointment of DiVertical being the daft Intamin water cred thing... The Maurer things would be equally pointless... Their recent additions have just been weird... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Sigh...... At least Ferrari Land had a half decent cred... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega-Lite Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 That's just painfully stupid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Promo art for the €25m(!) area... The area will also feature simulators and VR attractions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Who's running the place recently? They went from Katun and Ispeed to this.. Divertical sure looks a bit daft but at least its not this.. The throughput for this is going to be fun too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Well that makes Ferrari Land look decent now. Such a bizarre addition of an investment for certain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The park is owned by Parques Reunidos. They seem to at least be pumping money into their parks at the mo (and Slagharen and Movie Park Germany have seen good investments this year imo). But this makes no sense. I'm also dumbfounded where €25m is going for this; I imagine the Ducati brand isn't THAT expensive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPC Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Ferrari land is still worse. At least, this is going to be a coaster with a higher capacity than red force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Train left every 2.5 mins, which would have made a capacity of around 250 people per hour. However, there were constant breakdowns, including a 10 minute complete stoppage just befo I rode. I can only predict the capacity would have been more like 200 people per hour, and you've got to remember the high amount of fast track users. No wonder, therefore, that the advertised queue of 50 minutes went to over 2.25 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 A fun concept video for the coasters, which are called Desmo Race https://m.facebook.com/mirabilandia/videos/486170308582185/ As an aside, these will be the tallest powered coasters in the world. They look fun enough, but I dunno, they just feel really odd at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
