Went back to 'GARDDDDAAAAA!!!' for my birthday celebrations and stayed in a nice hotel that reminded me of the good old days in Lake Placid New York. There was even a games room, though no Beaver Lodge... but then it was summer so I'm not sure what good a Beaver Lodge would be. There was no MacGyver either. But hey, not every hotel can have MacGyver staying at it.
We went to Movieland (ie: the most dangerous theme park in Italy) the first day and Aqua Paradise the second day, both part of the Canevaworld chain of family entertainment.
Let me just say something to the kind organizers at MovieLand; if you're going to make a haunted house in a theme park, it's probably best not to have your patrons walk around in a pitch black corridor following a red light while actors dressed as characters from popular horror movies jump out at you wielding sharp weapons. It's probably also not a good idea to screw all the furniture in the sets to the floor so that when your patrons jump a mile out of sheer fright (and they will, it's really damb scary) they don't cut open their legs. You haven't thought of either of these concepts and as a souvenir I get to take home a nice putrid scar on my leg.
Other dangerous things that happened at Movieland:
1) drowned in a submarine simulator
2) asphyxiated in a garage spewing burning chemicals
3) was driven off a bridge in a real truck
4) contracted malaria but being doused with sewage... twice ("on this ride you may get wet")
I'm not complaining. I had a great time. It just goes to show you however, what fun all the Americans are missing out on by having these liability laws when it comes to public safety.
But... onto AquaParadise!!!! It's essentially a water park where you go on rides and tubes and things. I love the water so had a great time, except for the ride Fabri and I went on where we didn't quite clear the hump in the slide, slid down backwards and were at a loss for what to do. Apparently 'it happens'... I prefer that happening to what we saw happening on the same ride a few hours later. Two guys who did clear the hump, managed to flip over and enjoy the rest of the slide from the intamacy of their faces. Great... the tube was riding them!!!
PS. This image is like a Where's Waldo... you can find me in it if you know what you're looking for.
