Alex1337 Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 The CEO Henrik B Nielsen says in the interview that some of the special elements the ride will include, is something that most coaster enthusiasts really will appreciate. My guess is that it will be a massive pre-show, bigger than Juvelen. Good we have Jora to do the awesome work, in that case!
Nrthwnd Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 ...– with a combination of elements that makes the ride unique.
_koppen Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 On a completely different note, the new ride for this year fits in extremely well in the pirate land!
CPmillenia94 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Djurs seems to have a nice relationship with intamin. Glad everything is going well there! More coasters!!

RyanTPM Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 ^That looks like a pretty fun layout, not too short!
Nrthwnd Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Djurs is, to myself, really turning this into a great, themed Pirate 'Land.' With actual thrill rides, too! I mean, Disney is so obvious, with Shanghai's version. And I love it, too! But this has slowly grown and grown into a pretty nice area of the park...Arrrrrrr? Looking forward to seeing what this coaster will thrill us, with. One of my favourite photos I took, in Djurs. TPR 2014 Scandi Tour. Edited July 16, 2016 by Nrthwnd
viking86 Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 ^It really is turning into a fantastic park! I visited back in 2012, but I may have to visit again next year once this ride is open. ^That looks like a pretty fun layout, not too short! Yeah, it seems to have decent length. I also like that it has a pre-lift section.
Pear Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 I don't see any unique elements that the park said it would have.
Nrthwnd Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 ^ The unique elements, may be 'unique' to immediate theme park area locals, i.e. Denmark. (And the layout isn't giving that much away, right now. Which is fine with me.)

Bingo. Djurs and Fårup seem like the kind of places that aim to please their regional markets (being Danish holiday destinations) first and foremost. They can get away with "[superlative] in Denmark and /or Scandinavia" and be perfectly fine. EDIT: Example of their advertising language for Piraten: Shiver me timbers, the wind's in the sails! Step on board Denmark's largest, fastest and greatest roller coaster - if you dare.

Geauga Dog Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 I like that layout. I guess this is Intamin's first family suspended coaster - nice to see them add onto their expansive coaster portfolio. It would also be a good layout for an Arrow-style suspended swinging coaster if they were to ever be resurrected.
A.J. Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Well...uhm...isn't it most if not all of those things? Yeah, that's the point. They're catering to their regional market. It certainly isn't the tallest / fastest / longest / apparent greatest in all of Europe, but it doesn't need to be, and they can get away with "best in Denmark". In terms of their regional market, they really only need to worry about the other parks on the Jylland / Jutland peninsula, such as Farup and Legoland Billund, which are both a few hours away driving.
XII Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Nice. It really reminds me of Orkanen @ Farup Sommerland, which I really enjoyed. So this looks like a lot of fun, and seems like it'd be a really good addition to Djurs Sommerland.
JordyC Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 UPDATE 2017 The very first track and supports of Europe's fastest and longest Suspended Family Coaster arrived at Djurs Sommerland. Over the next six weeks, 80 trucks with 825 meter of track for the 30 meter high roller coaster will arrive at the park. We look forward to showing you much more in the coming months! Source
RyanTPM Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 ^Very good stuff, the colors look great. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this go up!
JordyC Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Just sharing this snowy pic of Piraten that the park posted on their Facebook page. Also a little construction update of Drage Kongen.
bill_s Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 The new for 2017 suspended coaster will be called Drage Kongen ("The Dragon King") Source: Djurs Sommerland's Facebook page I like the use of tunnels and the cliff-like rock thing, presumably fake, at 0:40 . Looks fun.
RyanTPM Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 ^^Thanks for keeping us all updated, i'm really enjoying following this project and it's great to see vertical construction. The park looks lovely in the snow too!
