The tracks have disappeared in this amusement park, and visitors have a completely different experience.
To attract more and more visitors, amusement parks are competing in ingenuity. Europa-Park recently unveiled “Voltron Nevera”, an electrifying roller coaster, while Disneyland Paris inaugurated the Avengers Campus in 2022 with the interactive “Spider-Man WEB Adventure” attraction. Futuroscope is banking on virtual reality with “Tornado Hunters” launched in 2022, and Asterix has been offering “Toutatis” since 2021, one of the highest attractions in Europe. Almost every year, new experiences are created to surprise visitors. In France, where more than 70 million people visit leisure parks annually according to the report “Amusement parks: these fans ready for all the madness!” of M6, competition pushes establishments to constantly innovate. Some rely on cutting-edge technology, others on ever more intense and unique sensations.
Speaking of unique experiences, in Italy, near Lake Garda, there is an amusement park like no other that pushes the limits of the visitor experience. Movieland Park, located in Lazise, has made the bold bet of mixing cinema and thrills to create a unique destination of its kind. This theme park, open since 2009, offers attractions inspired by Hollywood blockbusters in a setting worthy of the biggest studios.
But its real revolution lies in an astonishing feature: at Movieland, certain rides are not on traditional rails, but driven by real stuntmen! This unique approach radically transforms the experience of visitors, who are no longer simple passengers, but become actors in their own cinematic adventure.
The flagship attraction, the Kitt SuperJet, perfectly illustrates this philosophy. Visitors board jet skis piloted by professional stuntmen who perform spectacular tricks live on the water, with 600 horsepower engines. This total immersion particularly appeals to people looking for authenticity.
Visitor feedback testifies to this satisfaction: many describe an emotion heightened by the human contact and the live performance of the stuntmen. This approach, going against the tide of widespread automation, gives meaning to the amusement park experience and creates memorable memories for thrill-seekers.
