Jumanji fans, get ready to be transported into the thrilling jungle - no board game required.
That's because the world's very first (and only) Jumanji-themed attraction has finally opened its doors to the public, and the €20million (approx £16million) theme park attraction is sure to be a contender for the best new theme park rides in 2022.
Gardaland in Italy has opened the highly-anticipated new attraction today, and shared some first look images of both the exterior and inside the ride itself.
In Jumanji: The Adventure, families will sit in six-people vehicles as they journey into the depths of the jungle to return a sacred gemstone to a legendary temple. However, there's plenty of danger along the way, from a hungry hippopotamus to a terrifying Stone Giant.

The attraction uses Augmented Reality to bring the story to life, right from the moment you enter the ride. For example, guests will walk into a room of mirrors and see their reflection - only for it to transform into an avatar, in a nod to the recent Jumanji films starring Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan.
It's estimated that at full capacity, approximately 1,000 people can take on the jungle adventure every hour.
It's not just the ride that makes this a must-visit for Jumanji fans. If you're considering making a short break of it in Italy, then you'll want to check out the Gardaland hotel's brand new Jumanji themed rooms.
With jungle decor, props paying tribute to the film and even fun in-room games and challenges, it's sure to make for an action-packed getaway for families.
Oh, and if you're after an extra reason to add Gardaland to the bucket list, the fact that it's home to a huge Legoland water park could seal the deal.
It's Legoland's first standalone water park - other water parks have historically also been joined by a Lego theme park.
Highlights include the LEGO River Adventure lazy river with inflatable boats you can customise using Lego bricks, a Beach Party section with SEVEN water slides, and even a jungle themed area if you're looking to stick to the Jumanji vibes.
There's more good news for theme park fans too, as Italy is currently open to Brits for holidays.
If you're double jabbed or have proof of Covid recovery within six months of travel, then you can visit without self-isolation or testing.
Meanwhile unvaccinated travellers can visit quarantine-free provided they can show proof of a negative Covid test. This can be either a PCR taken within 72 hours before entering Italy, or a rapid lateral flow taken within 48 hours.
Unvaccinated arrivals who don't have proof of a test will be subject to five-day isolation.
All travellers will need to fill out a passenger locator form before travelling.
