Mirabilandia has announced today that they will be building a land themed to Ducati motorcycles for 2019. Here is a translated article:

Bologna, November 27, 2017 - Roller coaster and driving simulator , but also a showroom, three rides and a playground for the youngest. In short, an entire area dedicated to the Rosso of Borgo Panigale within the most famous amusement park of the Riviera Romagna and beyond. Ducati Motor Holding and Parques Reunidos, one of the industry's leading players, sign an agreement for the development of Ducati World at Mirabilandia . It will be the first motorcycle theme attraction in Italy.

Thanks to this partnership, the visitors of Mirabilandia will be able to immerse themselves in the ebbing world of the Reds of Borgo Panigale,reaching new levels of adrenaline and enthusiasm. Ducati World will be the first motorcycle theme area to be included in an amusement park in Italy. The project will cover an area of approximately 35,000 square meters and open to the public for 2019.

The area of Mirabilandia dedicated to the Motorbike Company will be an attraction for all motorcycle enthusiasts, with a variety of entertainment that can engage the public of all ages, both from Italy and from abroad. The theme park will include a new generation Russian mountain that will transform every visitor into a Ducati pilot, simulator, virtual reality, and children's attractions. The project also includes a showroom where visitors can find the Ducati motorcycle models, a Ducati shop, where to buy clothing and accessories, and Ducati and Scrambler themed dining areas.

"Ducati World will have the power to make visitors live an exciting journey into our brand - stateAlessandro Cicognani, director of Ducat i - licence and business partnerships . Thanks to the agreement with Parques Reunidos we will develop the first motorcycle theme area in an Italian amusement park. The location of Mirabilandia, in the heart of the Motor Valley, adds a further value to this fun-filled project . " Fernando Eiroa, Managing Director of Parques Reunidos,

Ducati World, incorporated in the context of the strong Emilia-Romagna tradition in the automotive sector, will engage motorcycle enthusiasts in an innovative experience,thanks to the overall strength of the Ducati brand and its strong local presence. "

Even Riccardo Marcante, General Manager of Mirabilandia , is excited about the operation: "We are proud to be able to host in our park a brand like Ducati which represents for many Italians passion and adrenaline, values that describe very well the experience that our guests they live every day. Moreover, this partnership will surely also be an added value for the territory where both Mirabilandia and Ducati were born. "


Seems like the park is getting a motocoaster of some sort. It will probably be Intamin since the park has bought their last two coasters from them.

Is "themed land" a separate park or is a giant addition?

I'm guessing it's probably part of the park but it is Parques Reunidos after all so I wouldn't put a separate entry price past them.

Well there goes all my excitement. RCDB has listed the coaster as a set of dueling Maurer Spike coasters.

I wasn't expecting a Mack megacoaster of course.... Maybe a dueling interactive coaster isn't as bad as it sounds.
Still optimistic!

Damn, such low capacity ride for Mirabilandia? I really hope it'll end up being a Vekoma Motorbike instead.

Wow that's depressing
Ok but how desperate you have to be to voluntarily fly from another country to go to Thorpe?

If the positioning of the cars on the concept art is right, it should have a dispatch time of 5-10 seconds... but I doubt that would be the case. :lol:

At least the layout looks decent. I do like that the area ends up in a currently still quiet side of the park. Perhaps it'll draw away the crowds from the other rides.

I for one think we enthusiasts should be excited about this new ride. The opportunity to accelerate OR decelerate on a coaster (control your exact speed) is really unique, and the dueling aspect looks awesome. A motorbike wouldn???tve fit well because Mirabilandia already has an Intamin blitz.
1. Voyage 2. Intimidator 305 3. Maverick 4. Skyrush 5. Mindbender (Galaxyland) 6. Fury 325 7. Kumba 8. Goliath (Six Flags Over Georgia) 9. The Beast 10. Phoenix

Out of 139 creds
