Garda Land
 
Has anyone been to Garda Land? If so, what did you think. Is it worth a day and a train trip from Bologna? Would a 17 year old guy enjoy?

Hi jcrp,

We went about 15 years ago and at that time it was a typical theme park aimed at kids and teens. There are a lot of different rides some of which you might enjoy - have you had a look at the website?

Not sure whether you'd enjoy it by yourself though!

Thanks and yes, I have looked at website, was hoping for personal experiences.

I've never been there, but I live in Italy, and I know that it's popular with teens and families I know. However, going in a group of friends is a much different experience that going alone. I'm not sure I'd enjoy a them park on my own.

I've always thought of Gardaland as being aimed at younger ages than a 17 year old. There are a couple of "white knuckle" rides that if you are a roller coaster fan would only be "clenched fist" rides.

I'm sorry, JCRP, as I am certain folks udnerstand your desire for "personal experiences" but there aren't many 17-year-olds on this board.

My experience is similar to those you have already received above. Have you <B>asked your 17-year-old</B> if they might be interested in this? What harm can that do?
