Shaman
According to the park, Shaman is Gardaland's first roller coaster. The Vekoma coaster has been running since 1985 and was originally called Magic Mountain. Since 2016 it has been called Shaman, with a new theme around the spirits of the Native Americans.
The concept
You board the legendary roller coaster and ride through the mysterious dreamcatcher. On the back of a great eagle you take a flight through the spirit world of the Native Americans. The goal: to return safely to reality and leave the evil spirits behind.
The Experience
The highlight is the double loop, which the park calls a double death ride. This is followed by a double corkscrew, four inversions in total. The train reaches around 70 km/h on a track of about 750 metres. In the winter of 2020/2021 a large part of the track was renewed.
