Shaman (roller coaster)
Shaman is a steel roller coaster at Gardaland, Castelnuovo del Garda, outside Verona, Italy. The ride was originally named 'Magic Mountain' and was designed by Vekoma, and initially used Arrow Dynamics trains, which were replaced with newer Vekoma trains with vest restraints in 2008.[1] The ride added a VR experience in 2017 and additional new theming was added around the ride and the name of the coaster changed to 'SHAMAN'.[2] For the 2018 season, the VR has since been removed. In November 2020, Gardaland began removing parts of the track. It has been reported that they are replacing much of the track, similar to what was done on Python at Efteling, to improve the smoothness of the ride experience.[3]
