Gardaland is preparing to amaze again with ‘Animal Treasure Island’, the new water dark ride that will make its world debut at the Park. To offer a glimpse of this unique adventure, a behind the scenes of its realisation video has been released that takes the public, revealing the work of the Merlin Magic Making creative team. Concept artists, digital designers and storytellers collaborated for over a year to create a cast of memorable characters, including Captain Nine Lives. A charismatic and determined adventurer, Nine Lives was inspired by stories of her explorer grandfather to embark on an adventurous journey in search of a legendary sunken treasure. Her creation took over a year of work by the Merlin Magic Making team to make the character authentic and able to establish a strong emotional connection with the audience.
The creation of ‘Animal Treasure Island’ was an ambitious challenge, where creativity and technology intertwined to create an extraordinary experience. Every detail, from the immersive narrative to the advanced technical solutions, was designed to offer an unprecedented level of immersion.
