Shaman

Shaman, originally known as Magic Mountain, is one of Gardaland's most iconic attractions. It has been part of the park since the very beginning.

For many years, it was considered the symbol of the park as it was the first permanent steel roller coaster ever built in Italy. It reaches a maximum height of 30 meters and a top speed of 70 km/h.

The ride includes a double loop, two corkscrews, and a final helix, along with a 25-meter drop. The full experience on Shaman lasts 2 minutes and 10 seconds, making it the longest roller coaster ride at Gardaland.

The ride is surrounded by a scenic artificial lake, waterfalls, and lush vegetation.

From Magic Mountain to Shaman

Originally named Magic Mountain, the attraction was renamed Shaman in 2017 following a major technological upgrade.
The coaster was equipped with virtual reality headsets featuring immersive visuals and a new theme inspired by Native American shamanic rituals.

Fun fact: on its 25th anniversary, there was a project proposal to theme Magic Mountain around Bigfoot, the legendary snow monster—but in the end, only the train cars were redesigned for comfort.
