Rainbow Magicland

is a new amusement park in Rome! And we have been there!
The Rainbow Magicland opened in the end of May, 2011. When we went in the middle of June, things were still not fully up and running. This was balanced by a discounted ticket, and a bonus for the next visit. For us who are bound to come back, this was good. Next time we'll only pay ten euro (instead of 35!)
We had a wonderful day, although hot. I strongly recommend sunscreen and hat, the Italian sun can be merciless.
There was a mix of attractions open, mostly the ones geared toward younger children. But some of our group ventured on the roller coaster, called Shock. Awesome! While they were up there the rest of us went to the Mary-go-round, at a more normal pace....
The problem with the roller coaster, the Colorado boat and other popular rides was the line. For the roller coaster the line was so long it took over an hour of waiting before you got to go. A long time to wait for less than a minute of screeming? The people sure thought it was worth it.
We had a nice burger-menu lunch. A lot of food for the money (Euro 8). It is probably good to bring your own water, because it is quite expensive. And you need to drink a lot!!
The Planetarium was awesome with 4D film. To add to the effect of the film (about Sammy the turtle swimming in the sea), they sprayed water on everybody! Cool.
The park is having some growing pains, but will be marvellous once all that is sorted out. They are already constructing new parts of it, the plan is to make it really, really big.
All in all it was a great day, and for sure we will be back. Hopefully we will be able to try more rides then.
