First of all the ride is too short, 500 meters, 0.5 km. To me this looks like a direct copy of Rapid Quest (2002) at Phantasialand which is 460 meters long.. With two drops and one maelstrom. Same boats, probably same manufacturer..
Tusenfryd has gone downhill since the Spanish Parques Reunidos took over in January 2008. They are not exactly praised here on the site either and they own probably the least exiting parks in the world, except maybe MIRABILANDIA in italy.
They use and copy shows/attractions from their spanish owners chain which other parks has had past year or years earlier. They have even said they want to make the park more family/kids friendly which obviously have made the attendance gone down since they took over
Attendance has gone down since 2009, every year from 470 000, to new lows in 2011 with 420 000 and in 2013 they had a slight increase with 5000 to 475 000, but after that 2014 455 000.
From 2000 to 2006 they had Linda as manager and much better owner. They got in 2000 Badefryd which is the swimming pool area with slide , 2001 Thundercoaster, 2002 tripple slide added to Badefryd. 2003 Supersplash, 2004 Rollover (which was removed later because of accident, but was a cool and popular attraction). 2005 Childs area called ChildsFryd with some new attractions for kids. Then in 2006 of course Speedmonster.
So I ask myself what has happened ? This year has been a total mess with Thundercoaster problems all year, only one train running, Spin spider has been out of service for the WHOLE season. Speedmonster has had troubles. They had to close Supersplash because of accident for two weeks. Shops and stalls closed, and it needs a big makeover and maintenance program all over the park.
I think the biggest joke was the Thor hammer attraction which they hyped so much and told everybody this is for young adults and was supposed to be a thrilling and exiting attraction, but has since release been slated so much and now it just sits there in the cave. They explained they wanted this indoor attraction in case of rain and bad weather so they wanted to attract people to the park even if the weather was bad. That's just stupid, build something awesome and people will come either way even if its raining.
Tommerenna and Supersplash already there in the park ? Mr Tommerenna is old as hell so are they planing to scrap that north of the park and build a coaster there in the future? I just don't understand the point of this new water attraction
Tusenfryd needs something big and rather sooner then later for thrill seekers or the attendance will continue to drop more like this flop year.
