As the opening season approaches, Gardaland is set to unveil its new water attraction, Animal Treasure Island, in a world premiere, an ambitious project by Merlin Entertainments. The inauguration is scheduled for next month, and details have been revealed through a video that provides a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of this innovative water dark ride. The storyline revolves around Captain Nine Lives, a charming adventurer on the hunt for a treasure submerged in the lake, whose charismatic character promises to engage visitors of all ages.
The creative team has worked diligently to ensure that the attraction not only offers a captivating story but also an immersive experience through the use of advanced technologies, including over 250 speakers with 360-degree Binaural audio. Dario Giovanazzi, the park’s Project Manager, emphasized the importance of continuity with past attractions and how some historical professionals are still involved in the project. With Animal Treasure Island, Gardaland thus marks a new era in storytelling and character development within its attractions, promising unprecedented thrills for its visitors.
