News about Wolf Legend

In June 2024, Gardaland's mysterious project finally received its name and shape: Wolf Legend opened as a 25-metre free-fall tower next to Shaman. The ride is more than a compact drop tower. Guests are lifted while rotating inside the open mouth of a 16-metre wolf, before dropping through a sequence supported by lighting, smoke and music. In doing so, Gardaland turned its earlier promise of a heavily themed attraction into a striking visual landmark that immediately changed the area's silhouette. Looopings also highlighted the production details: the tower was supplied by Italian manufacturer SBF Rides, while the storyline centres on a wolf turned to stone by a curse. The fall is framed as a ritual intended to break that curse. For fans, the historical layer is just as interesting. The tree-stump entrance reuses the former entrance of Sequoia Magic Loop, keeping a visible trace of the removed coaster inside the new experience. According to managing director Sabrina de Carvalho, guest surveys showed demand for this type of ride. Gardaland placed Wolf Legend within a wider investment season that also covered maintenance, entertainment and the new illusion show Impossible.

In October 2023, Gardaland gave the first official hint of the attraction that would later become Wolf Legend. The park confirmed that a major, deeply themed new ride would open near Shaman in 2024, while deliberately keeping the ride type under wraps. That secrecy made the project immediately interesting for fans: the new attraction was planned for the site once occupied by Sequoia Magic Loop, the unusual coaster that had been closed since 2022 and removed in early 2023. Managing director Sabrina de Carvalho framed the project around stories of courage, nature and ritual. Construction walls near Shaman carried English and Italian references to an ancient legend, giving visitors enough clues to speculate about the tone and scale of the addition. For Gardaland, this was more than a small family ride. After Jumanji - The Adventure and Jumanji - The Labyrinth, the resort was again leaning into strongly themed experiences. In hindsight, the announcement marks the first public chapter in Wolf Legend's history: still unnamed, but already tied to the former Sequoia site and to a more ambitious storytelling approach.
