Denmark: Fønix Flies Through Faarup Sommerland as of Today

905 meters long, 40 meters high and 95 km/h fast, that is “Fønix”, the new coaster attraction by Vekoma Rides at Danish Fårup Sommerland, which will not make only Danish roller coaster fans’ hearts beat faster. “Last year, on the day we could disclose the news about Fønix, I called this a historic day. Indeed, with the official opening, I can truly say that I have even more butterflies in my stomach. Here in Fårup Sommerland, we take great pride in presenting a roller coaster that is without comparison the biggest in Denmark – a fact that will come to leave a significant imprint on both the Danish and the international amusement landscape,” says Fårup Sommerland’s CEO, Niels Jørgen Jensen.  

“A ride of this nature is simply wonderful news for us here in Europe. The days of looking jealously west at parks in the US are over, and it’s rides like Fønix that are responsible for this […],” comments Justin Garvanovic, founder of the European Coaster Club.

“Owing to this historic investment, we at Fårup Sommerland are now looking into a tremendously exciting season; and we hope and trust that, by way of such a substantial addition, we will be able to attract both Danish and international guests to the benefit of Fårup Sommerland as well as the rest of the Danish tourist industry in general,” Niels Jørgen Jensen continues.
