Movieland Park: Experience the Magic of Hollywood on Lake Garda
Located in Lazise, inside the CanevaWorld Resort, Movieland Park is the first amusement park in Italy entirely dedicated to the world of cinema. Unlike traditional parks, Movieland offers an immersive experience where visitors are not just spectators, but become protagonists of real film sets. With attractions unique in the world and stunt shows of the highest level, it is the ideal destination for those seeking adrenaline and Hollywood-themed fun.
A Unique Concept: Beyond the Rollercoaster
Movieland's philosophy is based on the integration of mechanical attractions and live performances. Many of the experiences on offer are led by professional actors and riders, making each “ride” different from the last. The care taken over the scenery and the atmosphere in the park immediately transport the visitor to the famous Los Angeles film studios, including action movies, horror films and great adventure classics.
Top Attractions Not to Be Missed
Adrenalin and Action
For thrill seekers, Movieland offers attractions that defy gravity and the senses:
Kitt Superjet: A unique experience aboard 600-horsepower powerboats driven by professional pilots. Spectacular evolutions and breathtaking spins in the waters of the Knight Rider set.
Magma 2.1: Aboard powerful off-road trucks, visitors face an impassable course through explosions, earthquakes and perilous bridges. A classic example of how Movieland combines real means with cinematic special effects.
Diabolik Invertigo: A “reverse” roller coaster where you ride both forwards and backwards, dedicated to the famous king of crime.
Hollywood Action Tower: The free fall inspired by the atmosphere of the old studios, where courage is put to the test.
Adventure and Family
Movieland also thinks of young aspiring actors and those who prefer a quieter adventure:
Pangea: An exploration into the world of dinosaurs in jeeps that visitors personally drive through a jungle full of pitfalls and prehistoric creatures.
Antares - Space Intergalactic Station: A space simulator that recreates the force of gravity for a journey to the planet Mars.
Troncosaurus: The classic log ride through splashing water, perfect for cooling off on hot summer days.

Due to the nature of the shows, it is essential to pick up the show schedule at the entrance to better plan your timetable and avoid missing the highlights such as the Rambo Show. During the summer, many attractions involve (often unexpected) water, so it is advisable to bring a change of clothes or a light mackintosh.
