Day 4. Tuesday 21th July
Lorna & Adrian Dade
Another scorcher of a day, Katun was great, the stunt show was excellent, Adrian enjoyed the rapids with the girls in their bikinis. Great meal at the park, Reset was a good ride with no queue (I actually beat Adrian). iSpeed was a bit painful, we seemed to be thrown around. Thanks to Mark, Kevin & Guissepe and everyone else in the team for a great trip, roll on next year.
Peter & Becky Jackson
Lovely park, wonderful rides... Katun was amazing; we were thinking it was going to be rough - but, it was so smooth... although, at the back, it's rather disorientating! iSpeed was also rather wonderful! The stunt show, was the best thing in the park for us! We went to see it twice!!! Funny and excellent stuntmen! The tractor and digger were a good addition!
Hans Zieleman
Very nice park with some good rides. Katun and iSpeed were the best rides, but Ghostville was also great with live actors to scare you even more. The stunt show was very good and funny even if I didn't get the storyline if there was one... Reflex had great theming and was a good ride even if my score was very low.
Cheri & bob Armstrong
First, thanks to Kevin, Mark, Justin, and the ECC trips monkeys for a wonderful few days in Italy. Second, we have enjoyed sharing this trip with the enjoyable ECC members.
Today was spent at Mirabilandia. We enjoyed Katun, and compare it to Montu at Busch Gardens. iSpeed was our favorite coaster today. We had two front seat rides. The day was hot and the park busy, but most lines moved quickly. Lots of other nice attractions.
Hi to family and friends in the states, We are off to Vienna tomorrow.
Dave Hall
What an awesome park :) A great B&M and a great new Intamin. And Dad wasn't told he was too old to ride anythng today :)
Rob Derman (Robnoxious)
Bongiorno!! Today I met my need for speed, iSpeed that is... My favourite coaster in Italia...
Rendell Bird
Stunning park with brilliant coasters! (I think I may have spent too much time among the Brits!) Still, it was a wonderful park and a glorious day. I am in the minority here but I preferred iSpeed to Katun; although, both are wonderful.
Yvonne Janik
Perfect day at a beautiful park full of trees and winding pathways with great rides tucked throughout the park. The park also has some of the best gelato in Italy. Thanks, Mark, for arranging our ERS on Katun.
Paul Worts
Having just taken my last coaster ride of this wonderful trip I've realised that I'm not too old to ride them just yet (although Gardaland think 50 is too old!). Anyway, Mirabilandia was a real big box of delights, with an intense B&M (Katun), a fun launcher (iSpeed), and a ghosttrain that actually made me scream like a girl (oh the shame of it!). I almost enjoyed the kiddie rides as much as the bigger attractions - which is good training for when my 3 year old daughter eats up all her vegetables and reaches the minimum height requirements...Thanks to Mr Riley for organising the ERS on Katun, to Justin who managed to keep this rabble in some semblance of order, and lastly once again to Kevin, whose precision organisational skills were legendary - and proved so on this trip. Tommorrow Venice, where I shall eat an ice-cream by the Rialto Bridge and wish my wife was with me...

iQueued for iSpeed and iHated it. Its not a good sign if you spend the ride pre-empting the twists and turns to avoid being hit in the head. It has taken 20+ years to finally get nice trains for the corkscrew coasters, which have suffered from the same problem. It's a shame that nothing has been learnt with the trains on these new launch rides. I just hope it doesn't take as long to resolve. The Club trip is now approaching its end but I'm coming to the mid-point of mine. After Venice tomorrow I head down the coast to Rimini, San Marino and Bari. Thanks to all involved in putting this trip together and to those who's attendance also helped make it happen. I hope that those who go onto Spain have as nice a trip as they have here.
Mette Doving
Had the best exit of a ride today. Water slide and was laughing so much that I had to roll out!!! don't have time to write more, i'm rushed. had a great time on the trip, thanks to everyone. tomorrow off to venice a few days there and then off to rome.
Matt Sturgess
Yes, it was all very good.
David Hamburger
Now, this is the coastering day of the trip. Katun is an old-school B&M Positive G-fest, not quite as powerful as Montu or Pyrenees, but close. iSpeed was great - better than I expected, in fact. All in all, a great day in a great park! And they even have t-shirts for sale!
Celia Horwood
Hey, what a great time and what really saved us was getting the Q-Bot. Man, what a time saver! iSpeed is much better in the front than the back. Katun had lots of excitement. Just loved Ghostville, even the real people who scared the crap out of us! Thought the theming was better than the actual ride. Ciao everyone .. until next time!
Michael ("Da capo al Fine") Horwood:
Well, I'm sold on QBOT. Our first time to ever succumb to this necessary evil. We saved so much time and got on everything we wanted to, quickly. Lots of repeats with it, too. Back left of KATUN and front of iSpeed's train. Great mini trip in general. Thanks to all. Until next time...
Paul Hindle
18 rides on Katun thanks to using the Q-Bot system which got me on every 13 minutes in the afternoon. It's a great older style B&M - you can tell I enjoyed it !!
Only 3 rides on iSpeed due to late opening, long queues and 2 hours down time; but enjoyed it thoroughly.
Andreas and Mechthild Namyslo
Great day at Mirabilandia. We could ride iSpeed three times - a really good ride. According to Andreas it is better than Katun - in Mechthild's opinion it isn't. Thanks to all involved in the planning and realization of this trip.
Allen Hite & Bob Wetherbee.
Perfect day at the park. We're sad though that this tour is over. We were really impressed with the planning and the ride opportunities, the coach service, hotels, etc. We think iSpeed is OK but Maverick at CP is better. This was our first ECC trip but won't be our last. Looking forward to the Scandi trip next summer and Germany '11.
Audrey & Lars
Day Four and the Colsons are still having fun. This park had nice coasters as well as good food. We did not get into the water park but it looked fun when we viewed it from the big wheel. Ghostville is the best haunted ride we've been on in a long time. Time for some sleep.
Sophie and Even Stangebye
Again, a great day at a grear park. Thanks to the Q-BOT, we got to see 3 shows, a couple of hours in the water park, and all the things we wanted to do! Katun was great, iSpeed was ok. Thanks to all the people organizing this trip! South-Korea and Japan next... :o)
Peter Oakes.
The iSpeed was the best ride I have ever been on. Got in the front seat before the queue built up. on the water coaster i rode in a tube of water at the bottom. Katun was fantastic with a short queue. missed the mouse because the queue was to long.
