This might be a bit off-topic, but I found that reflection really interesting. - Like what are some coasters that ended up "accidentally" being smooth and riding good? As you said, it could be a bit of a coin toss, so which manufacturers could one year build a really smooth and well-made ride...
Looks like a lot of fun.
I’m not gonna commend B&M for stepping out of their comfort-zone though. - This isn’t an innovation.
The best thing about this is that SF are speaking to B&M again.
This is indeed a historic day for Danish coaster enthusiasts!

Vekoma has just posted this on their Instagram:

Since the text on the pole refers to a Danish company in Northern Jutland, I think we can deduct that Fårup Sommerland is getting a new coaster from Vekoma! 😍
I just want to clarify, that the planning approval you speak of were never meant to be taken as a literal 5-year plan for the park. It’s more of a “if they want to do this, they now can” sort of thing. And so, everything in there should be taken with a pinch of salt. For instance, according to...
The park opened last Friday and some of my Danish enthusiast friends were invited behind the construction walls to check out the progress.
You can now see the second attraction of the area taking form, which looks like it'll be some kind of jeep ride, probably with plenty of scenery along the...
This is such a no-brainer to me, and has been for some time. - So I'm very happy to hear about this!
Ever since seeing what Universal has been able to do with the IP, and the massive success it has been, I've wondered why the hell nobody were doing something similar in Europe. Take all the HP...
Ah yes, that’s the sluggish Mack-pace we know and (love?)... I feel like Mack coasters (maybe with the exception of Blue Fire) often seem like they run a tiny bit slower than they’re supposed to. Just look at that airtime hill following the snake dive thingy, it looked great in the first test...
Seems to meander quite a bit, it’s also about 20 km/h slower than Juvelen..
I wouldn’t call it a “small family atttaction” though, it’s far from it. And it definitely looks to fill a gap in Fuji Queue’s line-up.
Funnily enough, I remember a non-enthusiast friend once telling me about having ridden Fluch, reffering to as "Flugten fra Novgorod" (which is Danish and translates to "The Escape from Novgorod"). Maybe they've realised that a lot of people make this "mistake" and have just gone ahead and...
Thought I'd update this.
Both attractions has now been officially announced along with some visuals.
Other than the KMG Move It-24, the park will be getting a Zamperla Nebulaz, which will be the first of it's kind in Northern Europe.
Both attractions should be ready for Bakken's opening on the...
If your home-parks are owned by Merlin I can see why you would get a bit of horror/monster theming-fatigue, but it’s not very often that a big roller coaster in Sweden (heck, even Scandinavia) is themed around something like that. So with that in mind, it’s not really something I’d critique.
Very interesting.
It would indeed make sense if it was for Energylandia's Tilt Coaster.
If not, it could also be for Efteling's 2022 coaster? - I know Intamin has been rumoured, but has it ever been confirmed?
I'd like to throw in Fårup Sommerland as well, just for ****s and giggles <3
