(1/19/13) If anyone was wondering why Gardaland suddenly closed their Dolphin show attraction, I’m told this has more to do with the overall approach to animal attractions from Gardaland’s owners, Merlin Entertainment. Merlin’s chain-wide approach to animals in their attractions is from a conservation only point of view, preferring to educate while entertaining the attraction guests, rather than having a show simply for entertainment’s sake. The choice to close the dolphin show was apparently something that Merlin had been planning for some time. (1/18/13) RollerCoasterRevolution reports that Gardaland has closed their Dolphinarium. No word yet on what plans the park may have to replace it with in the future. (5/1/12) Parksmania has posted a fun POV video of Gardaland’s Fuga Da Atlantide ride… in 3D. (4/19/12) ParksMania has posted a special new video this week, their first 3D POV video of Raptor. Of course if you don’t have the ability to view in 3D, you can always shut off the 3D and watch in regular 2D. (3/26/12) RollerCoasterRevolution has posted that Inferis, the walk-through attraction at Gardaland that opened in 2010 has been closed down for good.
