cfc Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) It's a good thing, for Joey's sake, that they didn't add a new set of monkey bars to the park. Anyway, neat looking coaster. But watch out for leeches in that water. Edited August 19, 2012 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
window Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Please excuse my ignorance, but what is the difference in a suspended coaster and an inverted coaster? cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDG Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Please excuse my ignorance, but what is the difference in a suspended coaster and an inverted coaster? A suspended coaster has swinging trains. However, not every manufacturer uses the same terminology. While everyone knows what Arrow's Suspended Coaster is, Vekoma uses the term "suspended" for every single one of their coasters with trains below the track. For example their "Suspended Looping Coaster" is really an inverted coaster, as it does not swing at all. The ride for Fårup will swing, but only a little bit. That does however not mean that every Vekoma "Suspended Family Coaster" swings. Only the ones with the new trains: Jimmy Neutron, Kvasten and Steel Lasso. Very confusing. Vekoma also used to sell a ride called "Swinging Turns", which was a real suspended coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex1337 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I agree with most of you guys, this is a perfect addition to the park, can't wait to go there next year! Have any of you heard any rumors from Djurs Sommerland aswell? They've announced that they were to build the biggest attraction in Denmark 2013, so I assume that they will beat Fårup Sommerland with their new ride, but we still haven't heard anything. Seems like Denmark is taking over the rollercoaster Scandinavia ! Good for me and the rest of the coasterfanatics here in DK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Looks like it will be a great addition for the park. Looking forward to seeing construction photos of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 This thing is really going to haul butt through the course! I will not miss the 2014 Scandi trip. I REFUSE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 This was the park where we got a lot of rain that day, in the 2009 Scandi Tour. But we still rode everything open, which was all of the coasters. This could be as much fun, heh heh. Yep. Even in the pouring rain, we'll ride coasters. Coming into the stn., on Falken.

Hhappy Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Another image was just posted by Farup Sommerland on their Facebook page. Looks like the tunnel is finished and the lake might get filled pretty soon source Edited March 22, 2013 by Hhappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce1994 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 The drop into the lake looks like it will give good footchoppers when it is operating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 The drop into the lake looks like it will give good footchoppers when it is operating! Not sure how you can say that as the drop is on the other side and this side is the exit out of the tunnel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1337 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 CoasterClub Denmark just added this great POV of Orkanen on the opening day. Can't wait to ride this bad boy, I've heard it should be pretty high speed and very smooth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenbowl Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Wow, that looks surprisingly intense and cool for a vekoma family suspended. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 That looks like a great little family coaster. I don't recall being that impressed when I first saw it, but the finished ride looks great. While not very big, the pacing looks surprisingly fast, and the layout looks like a lot of fun. Hopefully the construction of these junior SLCs takes off, as they seem like a design that could fit in any park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Another great looking Vekoma junior invert. The one thing I can't get over is how fast you go into the station at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leqant Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Ride look great. I like that overbanked curve after the first drop. Makes the ride look quite thrilling for a family coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caffeine_demon Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Rode it several times during the ECC ers this past weekend! Great little ride - smooth, fun, thoroughly enjoyable, and even some nice air on the drop if you're near the back! Can't praise them highly enough!
