Verrrry cool, Robb. The pics are great, and I love your commentary. As well, I had to check out the video - it's great, and some of those flat rides are insane. I'm always amazed at how clean some of those European parks look - they're just meticulously maintained... if not always entirely politically correct...

Oh My God. Bon Bon Land is out of control. I love Europe. The kooky, blatantly pornographic characters throughout the park remind me of something I saw in Madrid - my brother and I were at what was basically the Spanish equivalent of a dollar store, and I saw this little statuette of a pig - sort of a cartoon character. It was in this really suggestive position, and had almost disgustingly realistic genitalia... I never quite figured that one out.

wow.......wow. bon bon land looks a-fuggin-mazing. that is the first theme park i have ever seen that really understands how kids think. rather than condescend to kids, like every theme park ever, this one goes right for what kids are truly entertained by...candy, poop, candypoop, farts, dog farts, and bawdy cartoon charactors with bad attitudes. danes really are great!!!!!
robb, you guys are definitely like the crew of a starship sending us transmissions from this strange but utopian planet bonbon.
thanks!

Gardaland Photos added! Highlights of this update include:
- S&S's Screamin Squirrel Photos!
- A coaster called "Magic Mountain" which certainly was themed to "Magic Mountain!" :lol:
- The rain is gone, but where are the open rides?
- The most interesting gift shop items of the trip!
I really wish there was more to say, but overall we had a pretty miserable visit to this park. They didn't seem to know what to do in a thunder storm, and the customer service at the park was just appalling. Probably our worst park day of the trip. It's too bad because this place seemed to have potential, but fell short in every aspect!

The Magic Mountain ride/photos/captions are perhaps the funniest things I have ever read on your site, and I think that's a pretty good compliment
