This is my personal TOP 7 ranking of the best coasters in Italy.
Although I’m much more fond of the immersive experience that dark rides can offer, I’m also a big fan of the G-forces these rides—often minimally themed—deliver to the brave souls who ride them.
If you’re interested in visiting some of these parks, I recommend checking out the DISCOUNTS section to save on ticket purchases.
#7 SHOCK at Magicland
The result of an experiment by some mad scientists, Shock is the steam-powered machine that turned out so well it shocked everyone who dared to try it. The result of their creation is one of the most fun launch coasters in Europe, capable of catapulting its “ships” from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2 seconds!
Shock is a wild journey in search of thrills—a ride at the speed of light through loops, corkscrews, and steep drops. Get swept away by the intense sensations of MagicLand’s most thrilling roller coaster! Recommended only for the bravest.
#6 iSpeed at Mirabilandia

What’s the most incredible feature of iSpeed? This ride kicks off with a “gunshot” launch from the station—a magnetic launch you’ll love.

#4 Oblivion at Gardaland
A mysterious space-time conduit connects Earth to another realm in time and space. Its gravitational field is so powerful it sucks everything in—and there, ahead, is the black hole!
