Well... soon another summer shall end. Put me in the mood for a moody piece.

The park in question is Caneva Aquapark, one of the many attractions around Lake Garda that made my childhood (along with Gardaland and the Parco Natura Viva zoo). I went there since I was in kindergarten, then for some reason we stopped going there after the '90s until 2004 we resumed going there every summer.
Last time I've been to that water park must've been 2011, I don't recall going there in 2012, and I doubt the awesome things of summer 2012 overshadowed the memory of going there, I clearly remember going in 2010 because that summer I watched Batman 1989 through and through falling in love with it and I oddly linked some slides with an industrial piping decor to Jack Napier/Joker getting flushed down the AXIS chemical plant, and in a similar way in 2011 I first saw the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and I related those same slides to the sewers and Turtle-related stuff, but I don't have that for 2012 so I'm positive 2011 was the last time... and I think I'd keep it that way.

Last time I went to Gardaland was in 2009, the big zoo in 2010, and I don't want to revisit those places with adult eyes. I mean, if someone invites me I won't say no and disappoint them, but on my own, I really don't desire going out of my way and revisiting them.
I love remembering how I viewed those places as magical, endless, imposing, and I actually dream often of visiting parks and attractions that look vast and incredible, it must be childhood memories of traveling and visiting cool places manifesting through those dreams, and I'm happy with that and would rather keep it that way instead of seeing more clearly behind the smoke and mirrors.
I dunno, it's just a feeling.

Anyway...
You know those "song in an atmospheric setting" videos?
Like, "La Vie En Rose but you're stuck in a French bunker and the Germans are breaching" and stuff like that?

If I was a good sound editor I'd do "Maroon 5's This Love but you're a kid in the mid 2000s at a water park towards closing time" to go along this piece because hearing that song immediately gives me that warm childhood memories melancholy.
