Photo TR: Opening day of Juvelen at Djurs Sommerland

Today was the grand opening of Juvelen at Djurs Sommerland.

 

This new addition to the park is great for families that want to ride a coaster together and other people.

It has 2 launches, is tire driven and is a fun (high speed) experience.

 

When talking family rides i used to think "slow" things.. This ride goes crazy with that second launch. Sure it's not an airtime machine (go ride Piraten if you want airtime) but it's quick, fun and leaves a smile on your face when riding it.

 

In the end, that's all that matters i think. Fun for a lot of ages and sizes and therefore fun for a lot of people.

 

Minimum height to ride this: 120 cm

The pre show is part of the story that you are riding those ATV's in the jungle to go after a certain expensive stone.

More green will come in the first bit of the ride over time (the jungle). The pre-show will get updated as well as it's a bit too short at this time and who knows what else will be added in the future.

 

Looking forward to another visit next year.

This like it's pretty intense and very fun for a "family coaster!" I'd love for one to be built in the states! Great pics!

Intamin does nice work with those tire-launched family coasters. This looks like a great addition to Djurs Sommerland (it's a very good park).

Wow, that's going to look fantastic the vegetation grows!

Great report, Hanno! Looks like the perfect family coaster, and agree with the poster above that the theming will look great once everything grows in.

That looks like a fantastic family coaster! It looks great!

AWESOME!

 

Now hopefully the wild mouse won't have an hour long line in the summer

Looks like a fun family ride! Due to the launches, I'm nicknaming this "Tires-Tires-Tires!: The Ride". Certainly very twisty and looks like it's a pretty long ride too (well, anything's longer than most of the coasters at my home park ).

Looks fantastic! I love Jet Rescue so I'm sure I'd love this. Intamin really stepped up their motocoaster design, especially when you look at their abysmal prototype (Motocoaster at Dreamworld).

Djurs Sommerland is definitely on my bucket list now, seems to have a wonderful collection of coasters.

Interesting braking system. Looks like a great ride. Good length...but I don't know why the second launch more towards beginning of the ride versus the middle.

Looking good!

 

Will most likely hit Djurs and Faarup in June...

Looks immensely fun, though I'm still not sure what the Satanic Intro of Death has to do with Mayans and quad bikes.

Hello Hanno,

 

great pictures and an a really good video of this new coaster at Djurs! This ride has all that a good coaster should have: theming, a preshow, acceleration, steep banking, speed and a little bit airtime. I had so much fun on my rides yeasterday and everytime I had a big smile on my face. Right ride for a sweet park. Everybody, from the little kid up to grand parents, who rode the coaster, loved it. The part after the second launch is my favorite: Much speed an disorienting direction changes. I wish Djurs good luck an many more visitors for and with this ride. The weather was also a friend of this coaster and sends the sun for the opening.

 

The park was very friendly and helpfull with the media people and the coasterfriends. Thank you very much for the invitement an the possibilities on that day.

 

And last but not least: Hanno, it was a pleasure to meet you, fun to talk with you (Your German is much better than what comes from some germans!) and I hope we see us again. You were the first ThemeParkReview member I meet live but I hope you will not be the last when everybody is so kind as you.

 

Greetings from germany,

Mathias

Those trains look awesome!

Great report! Thanks, Hanno!

Looks great! Thanks for posting!

Cool looking ride that tire launch reminds me a little bit like Hulk's launch. I wish we could get a few coasters like this in the States.

Amazing!!! I hope, that I can ride it next year during my next visit in Denmark.

It's good when you have a part of your family living in Denmark....

Looks really awesome!

 

What does Juvelen mean in Danish?

Looks fantastic! I love Jet Rescue so I'm sure I'd love this. Intamin really stepped up their motocoaster design, especially when you look at their abysmal prototype (Motocoaster at Dreamworld).

Djurs Sommerland is definitely on my bucket list now, seems to have a wonderful collection of coasters.

 

My only gripe about Motocoaster at Dreamworld had to do with the restraints, but I thought the ride itself was fun. Jet Rescue was a definite step up, though, and Juvelen looks even better.

Looks really awesome!

 

What does Juvelen mean in Danish?

 

I think it has something to do with cheering, but I'm not sure...

This thing looks awesome! Can't wait to see what it looks like with all the vegetation. Thanks for the TR and the great video, Hanno!

Juvelen means The Jewel in danish

 

And boy do this ride look awesome! Can't wait to ride this one, and as many of you says, in some years this ride will look awesome with the jungle trees everywhere! I still think this ride needs a lot more theming, but I'm 100 % sure it will look sweet in a year or two

And FreeFaller, you might think of the word Jubel (jubelen) which means cheering

^ Yeah, in German we have the word 'Juvelen' as well which exactly means 'Jewel' I just wondered if it could be the same Thanks!
