Djurs Sommerland Discussion Thread

[sam06pr]

This place seems to have a lot of land where they can expand. This coaster looks awesome. Hopefully they can get more sexy rides like this one

[ginzo]

^^I'd like to see more of the LSM lift hills like Maverick has.

[FitchCoaster]

Hmm, I think we need a ride kind of like this in the US. This looks like tons of fun.

 

Is it just me, of can you see this type of coaster at SFMM where Psyclone used to be?

[Loefet]

Intamin hasn't abandoned the traditional lift. They give their customers what they want. The new coaster at Hershey is going to have a chain lift, albeit not traditional at 90 degrees, but a chain none the less

The one on Hershey is a chain lift due to the fact that the lift is vertical, which means that it needs a stronger lift chain since the whole weight of the train hangs from it. But on more "normal" coaster lifts I think that they have started to move from chains due to cable-lifts are less complicated.

Anyone know when this ride is suppose to open, I'm planning a trip to Northern Denmark and would like to ride this and the new coaster at Farrup Sommerland?

Actually they'll build a whole new area around this coaster. In a press release it says:

Selv om Piraten er en af de største enkeltinvesteringer

i en dansk forlystelsespark nogensinde, er den blot første trin

i en storstilet udvidelse af Djurs Sommerland.

Over de næste år opbygges et helt nyt tematiseret område

i tilknytning til den nye rutschebane,

og planerne herom vil blive offentliggjort

på et senere tidspunkt.

And for those who don't understand Danish, it means:

Even though Piraten is one of the biggest

solo investments ever in a Danish theme park,

it's just the first step in a great expanding of

Djurs Sommerland.

Over the next years a whole new themed area will

be build in connection with the new roller coaster,

and the plans about this will be released later on

So I'm just waiting

I think it's supposed to open when the season begins, which is: 1st May.

The ride looks awsome on pictures, but it looks more awsome when you stand right next too it

[Steffen_Dk]

I am so looking forward to the summer

 

I think I'll move to Djurs and ride it all day long! And TRAINS!!! Yay..

[Steffen_Dk]

Park map

[EuroTre]

Meh, it's the same as Kawasemi.

 

However, considering how Kawasemi turned out, OMG CAN WE PLEASE GET ONE HERE IN THE STATES?

 

PREFERABLY IN WISCONSIN?!?

Piraten looks amazing. All that potential airtime!

 

I'm due another trip to Scandinavia...

[Steffen_Dk]

These pics have been up for quite a while now, but I just thought that the theming looks so awesome, so I wanted to show it:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mega skull!!

[dr.gumbo]

^ This HAS to be your country's Nemesis!

[ECZenith]

Wow, how did I let this one sneak up on me like that? Looks amazing! Nothing better than a themed Intamin!

[nagro5]

I can't belive how much detail they they are putting into the theming! That combined with a great ride is the perfect combination.

[almightyfire]

looks like maverick to me

[vekoma_fan]

SUPRISE! POV!!!!!

 

[nagro5]

Oh my gosh! I think I've fallen in love! To bad I'll never get to ride it. We've got to get a clone of this somewhere in the US.

I can't wait until we get some reviews on this bad boy!

[vekoma_fan]

You'r not the only one in love, my friend... but I'm so much closer this coaster then you

[cprocks22]

I agree, It looks amazing. But does anyone else think that it travels a little slow over some of the hills? I'm guessing part of that is A) Colder weather B) Empty train and C) One of the very first runs, but even then it seems slow to me. Am I crazy?
