Video TR: Bakken, Awesome Day! NEW MUSIC VIDEO ADDED!!!!

[Gerstlauer1]

Hey Everyone.

 

I have taken lots of pics but the files are to big to be uploaded here , so i decided i'll just make a video TR!

 

I just came home from a really awesome day at Bakken, located an half hour from Copenhagen.

 

To those of you who don't know, Bakken is the worlds oldest amusement park. And it's a bit different from other parks because the place is not owned by one Park CEO. No, there are different pieces of land owned by different people. So that you can actually buy a piece of land and then build what you want on that land. (of course it has to be accepted by the city management) It's kinda funny to think of in my opinion. For an example the one who owns Mine Train Ulven, did buy a new piece of land on Bakken, and then builded a coaster in 2009, Tornado! They are both Intamins.

 

The day was perfect, no crowds, perfect weather and it was walk on, on every ride!

The weather did look a bit bad, i guess that was one of the things holding guests away!

 

Following is a "ride count" and my description of the most popular rides in the park.

 

Tornado (6)

This coaster really get me every time on the firstdrop! It's about 10 meters high on the highest point, but it really packs a punch! There is some pretty cool forces in that coaster! Well done Intamin! Best spinner i have ridden so far!

 

Mine Train Ulven (6)

This is one of the only Intamin Mine Train coasters that exist, it's an fun ride! Really it is.

This first drop actually gives some nice airtime on the backseat! Again, a very nice coaster Intamin!

 

Rutschebanen (5)

This is one of the oldest wooden roller coaster ever! And it's amazing how good it rides considering it's age. It has been slowed down since the brakeman was removed, and automatic brakes where installed Now the airtime do not appear as much as before.

 

Please bare in mind that these are one of my first POV's so they may not be so good. Anyways,

 

This is the "main video" of this thread, it's a awesome Bakken music video in FULL HD!!!

 

Here's a POV of the Intamin Spinning Coaster, Tornado! Enjoy.

It looks like it launches up that lift hill.

 

I really want to read of on that coaster now.

[Gerstlauer1]

It is launched! With a double chain lift.

[The SETGO Guys]

Yeah! Intamin did an amazing job on that, sad to see that a part of the Historical value of the Wooden coaster is gone.

Nice VR.

 

I was completely caught by surprise by the lift hill launch first time I rode Tornado. Mine Train Ulven was pretty good, I was so impressed by the first drop - for some reason I thought this was an outdoor version of Skull Mountain, but I'm not so sure about that.

 

Looking at rcdb it says the park opened in 1583, wow, I'm sure JJ was there.
