thrillseeker4552 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Looks great! Are they using friction wheels as brakes? That's interesting.
Shavethewhales Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Beautiful. Fantastic layout with lots of interesting interactions, and the indoor section will be spectacular when it is filled in with thematics. This is a model for everyone else to follow. Perfectly executed.
mjollner Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I'm still waiting for an inversion...  The only other inverted coaster I can think of that doesn't loop is Kvasten at Gröna Lund. But that might be because I'm not too familiar with the smaller inverts of the world.  Indoor section looks great and the first turn looks pretty forceful.  One more reason to get my ass over to Denmark again.
boldikus Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 God I love Intamin. For a family coaster this looks fantastic!

Canobie Coaster Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Don't forget the random B&M family invert they built in China.

Here's a list That only lists the Vekoma ones, you get a better grasp by going to all inverted coasters and sort by number of inversions  https://rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&de=5&page=1&order=24
_koppen Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 More media! Also this time from CoasterClub Denmark. Â Source
cookiex Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Do the seats swing like on the Vekoma versions or are they fixed?
Henry M Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 They are fixed. I have not seen a free swinging invert in a while.
PKI Jizzman Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 What an exciting ride. I'm sure it'll have big fans of all ages. How about that little shot out of the station? Pretty unique.
KingRCT3 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 They are fixed. I have not seen a free swinging invert in a while. Â The Vekoma family suspended coaster (Kvasten, Orkanen, Freedom Flyer, etc) is not a free-swinging coaster per say, but the cars do swing a little bit. In fact, the train of Kvasten comes a bit tilted in the station due to the last transition: Â Â It might not be obvious as it's only a few degrees. I tried to put it back in place, but it's actually hard (hence why it's not really free-swinging) and it stays titled during the whole unloading/loading phase.

_koppen Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 It's a bit of dampening to relief the steel frame from stress
cfc Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Looks great. Good to see a new Intamin invert in action.
Mystic.TIMBR Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 This looks like such a unique coaster. I wish more Intamin Inverts existed
EliHorton Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Better change my user name to Vekoma Fanboy, but I think the Vekoma family invert looks better. Please don't kill me.
pryonisys Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Do the seats swing like on the Vekoma versions or are they fixed? I think true free swinging inverts like the old arrow ones put a ton of stress on the track and supports making them not last as long (I believe that is one of the reasons rides like Big Bad Wolf are disappearing).
peptoabysmal Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Went on Dragekongen on opening day, it's a very fun ride with a surprising amount of force. It does have a bit of a rattle in some places, but overall a very successful addition to Djurs Sommerland.
Pear Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 I assume the theming isn't finished yet due to all the blue walls around the station. Hopefully they finish it soon!
