Blue Tornado

Blue Tornado is perhaps Gardaland’s most iconic ride. Before the construction of Raptor and Oblivion, it was the park’s flagship attraction.
It was launched in 1998, during an expansion that also introduced the Space Vertigo drop tower and the Jungle Rapids raft ride.

It was Italy’s first inverted coaster. Another one was installed at Mirabilandia the following year.

What is an inverted coaster?

It literally means a “reverse roller coaster”. The rails are placed above the cars rather than below them, as in traditional coasters.

This setup allows for more intense maneuvers such as loops, sharp turns, and high-speed twists.
