I was there they day after you guys were there. We called the park in the morning to confirm if Fønix would be operating because we had the option to swap days with Djurs sommerland. Gladly it did open, and I got 27 rides in on Fønix. Its a great ride and I hope you will experience it once aswell
Chris, I imagine, when Sophie watches this, she will undoubtedly shake her head sadly, sigh, and just smirk at you for going out in a freaking HURRICANE in search of credits!
Yeah. We usually get big storms in Denmark but only during October to November! This was one of those storms but as early as August! And a pretty intense one too! I was actually scheduled to visit Fårup Sommerland the same day but I postponed my visit to Friday to avoid the storm and thank god I did, and thank god my own trip had the flexibility to do that.
I’m surprised these parks open with this weather, but maybe it’s seasonal and normal there, I don’t know. Never been to Denmark. Might have to go, though, all these little Danish parks look lovely.
Danish rides arent usually tempermental with weather. Denmark does get storms like this quite regularly but they always happen in the late fall. This storm happened in August, right as the summer holidays were ending, it was insane! I was also on a coaster trip when the storm happened but I postponed my visit to Fårup and instead just took the train to Randers and spent the day visiting their indoor tropical zoo. Cool place, located within 3 giant biodomes! Eisner era Disney immersion inside too, awesome place and great for avoiding the worst of the storm.
Shame you didn't get to go on Fonix. It's the best coaster in Denmark by a considerable margin, and while not super strong in the positives, the sheer amount of airtime it packs into that layout is immense. Falken isn't that bad either so shame you didn't get to give it a shot either.
I know strong winds sucks. I can’t do anything fun. No great skiing terrain open, no coasters, hard to bike ride, were there any indoor parks on the trip?
I was wondering why Phonix wasn't in your top 100. Lynnet might have been a borderliner but i don't think with your freferences it would make the cut. Also why didn't you go to djurs sommerland?
Pretty disappointing having fonix closed, but hopefully Wildfire was better. But hey, now you have an excuse to get back to their and Djurs sommerland to get better rides on Piraten.
