HELP

Shaman, previously known as Magic Mountain, is a Vekoma steel roller coaster located at Gardaland in Castelnuovo del Garda, Italy. Sequoia Magic Loop is situated within the perimeter of this roller coaster.

History

For the 2008 season, the original Arrow Dynamics train chassis were replaced by Vekoma. For 2009, the bodies and restraints were replaced.^[1]

The ride was renamed Shaman in 2017 when it received virtual reality headsets. The ride was rethemed to Native Americans and a dream catcher theming element was added to the final helix.

The virtual reality was removed after the 2017 season. The longer wait times and technical problems where cited as reasons for its removal.^[2]

In 2021, much of the track was replaced. The layout of the roller coaster was not changed.^[3]
