I visited it in 2021 to celebrate my 80th park, and here’s my ranking of the best attractions at Cavallino Matto.
#7 CINEMA 4D
After surviving a shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe and his dog Aynsley are forced to settle on an uncharted island.

A passing ship comes to the rescue… But with a crew of evil pirates onboard, Robinson realizes that life as a castaway might not have been so bad after all!
With help from his parrot friend Friday, Crusoe plans a daring escape!
#6 FLYING SWINGER
Don’t be fooled by the traditional look of our Flying Swinger… it might seem like a classic ride, but it has a twist!
Once you’re onboard, you’ll find that Flying Swinger tilts, reaching heights and speeds that will have you screaming with excitement!
