Steffen_Dk Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 ^ You have to think in proportions: Denmark is a VERY small country with a not so big population, so the parks aren't as crowded as they can be in for example USA and Germany. Eventhough Fårup is a major themepark in Denmark, they don't have 10,000 guests at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acero Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hhhaha. I'm loving the Mini-TTD cars. How original. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam06pr Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 that coaster looks fun. It has nice elements, the diving drop after the first set of brakes looks really fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen_Dk Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Finally Gerstlauer has finished the track and pieces has now arrived at Fårup. Infact they've already started to put it up.. A loader tractor!! I'm not sure if this is the station or just a random building. Well this is definitely the station building. Concrete work. Track!' Hmmm.. Why a locomotive? I can't see the connection between lightning and locomotives.. I think this is supposed to be the top hat. What a spectacular support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scaparri Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 This ride is starting to look pretty darn cool! I love the theming on the cars. Thanks for the updates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen_Dk Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 ^You're welcome Sadly they've changed the lap bars into OSTR's But at the same time they've also changed an airtime hill into a zero-g-roll..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr.gumbo Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 ^ Looks pretty sweet IMO. Certainly looks like its worth going out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbesx2 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Oh wow, they did change the layout quite a bit. Did they have to order new track from Gerstlaur, or did they decide on the layout changes before hand? Whatever it is, looks like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 ^ I'm pretty sure that they only changed the airtime hill after the MCBR that were in the original design to a Zero-g roll, and I'm pretty sure that they did that before they started to fabricate the track. I only wish that the top-hat on Kanonen was as extreme as the one on Lynet. Can't wait to ride this puppy in just 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen_Dk Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 ^^ It has always been the intention to replace the one of the airtime hills with ha zero-g-roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Wow, looks much faster paced than I thought. It kind of reminds me of a Mad Cobra clone with some airtime hills mixed in. Overall, a solid ride IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divv3k Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Rode it a few times today. It's a lot of fun. There's some bumpy spots in the back row but pretty smooth in the front. I'd rank it alongside the "mid tier" Intamin accelerators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Looks like fun. Is it as fun as Kanonen at Liseberg? /Edward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroTre Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Yeah, that's pretty crazy. I hope us Americans/Wisconsinites get the right idea and install a bunch of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerstlauer1 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Hello! So today Fårup Sommerland announced that they are adding a kiddie coaster from Zamperla next year. They also confirmed that we'll get our big coaster in 2013 as they weren't really ready with it. I can't help but thinking that the little kiddie coaster is a 'impulse-puchase' as a substitute for the bigger coaster that should have been ready in 2012. The model is the Gravity Coaster from Zamperla, http://www.zamperla.com/en/product/90/family-gravity-coaster.html?category_id=5 So the coaster will be themed to some kind of hedgehog, which fit the whole 'forest' theme that they are running. Facts: Length: 80 meter Train: 6 cars with 2 persons in each. Capacity: 360 pph Height: 4,5 meters Source: http://www.facebook.com/faarupsommerland Here's some pictures that the park released: Blueprint! The hedgehog! Theming!

Gerstlauer1 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 KT and I approve of the Hedgehog coaster! And TPR approves of a new coaster for 2013 since we're planning our Scandi trip for that year! Yep, there's a couple of nice family coasters being build for 2012 in Denmark. And Djurs Sommerland probably have something up there sleeve for 2013... That is the one TPR trip that i must get on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerCoasterSmi Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 That Hedgehog is so cute. This looks similar to the Runaway Train at Flamingoland, which I found pretty brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
