Steffen_Dk Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Here's the link to those who understand Danish, and to those who just want to see the first test run: Â Â http://www.tv2regionerne.dk/reg2005/video.aspx?Id=418205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinschroder Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 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? Â That's exactly what I thought when I watched the video - "Why's it going so slow?!". Sometimes POVs can be deceiving but even so, it seemed like it was crawling in places... Maybe the lift's not up to full speed yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen_Dk Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 The answer to the slow speed is that Tv2 Østjylland was out there, when Djurs made the first test runs..  So the coaster wasn't "warm" at that moment, and that's why it looks a bit slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen_Dk Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Piraten opens tomorrow (in rain ), but it's still fantastic...  Well since it opens Djurs Sommerland had searched for "test pilots"; and they rode it today. Sadly I didn't have the time for participating in the contest  Anyway; the local news was out there again, and I found the clip of it. It's sadly in Danish again, but you still you can get the feeling.  http://www.tv2regionerne.dk/reg2005/video.aspx?Id=422023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFjunkie2010 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 ^ I agree. That ride looks really fun for such a compact ride. I hope parks start putting in more of these types of rides and stop trying to break records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steffen_Dk Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I found this shot, and it gives a pretty good feeling of how the theming will be/is. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Olli Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Yesterday we´ve tested the new Intamin Coaster Piraten at Djurs Sommerland, Denmark.  It´s a great coaster with a lot of airtime.  Some picturs are made in the inside area, which is not open for the public. But the park chief have seen us and have noted, that we´re great coasterfans. Then he made us the offer to go with us in these area.  I hope my translation ist good enough to understand me  Greetings from Germany  Olli  To see even more photos click HERE!

Team Thriller Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 That looks awesome! Great pictures also. Seems like a more 'real' coaster layout. Lots of twists, turns, and hills. Â --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Inferno Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Seeing those trains so short and with lap-bars in comparison to what I'm used to make it look weird... Â However, this looks at great ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Olli! Thank you for posting! We have to wait until 2009 to ride this, but I'm now looking forward to it even more. Â To see even more photos of Piraten click HERE! Â --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpekari Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 looks tiny but fun at the same time, also looks like a ride I would make on Nolimits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vedved82491 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Very interesting looking coaster. Seems like Millenium Force meets Maverick, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hand 0f Time Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Unique layout, but still looks like a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Unique layout, but still looks like a blast. Well, it IS a clone of THIS COASTER at Tobu Zoo so it's not entirely unique, but it does look like a LOT of fun! Â --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm very impressed with Intamin. This design and Kawasemi cover a decent footprint and look like fun, family rides. This would be a great ride for smaller parks looking for a huge thrill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfmmfreak101 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Looks as if it would ofer a lot of airtime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm not so sure this is really a "family ride" as much as it is trying to be a major thrill ride, but in a smaller space for a park with a smaller budget. Â I think it looks GREAT! And probably will have more thrills some some full-sized hyper coasters out there! Â --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanks4me05 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Piraten looks awesome, but I hope Intamin will make another full sized hyper. Luckily there's still a market for hypers, given Behemoth was just built, so hopefully another full Hyper will be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
