Piraten in Djurs Sommerland

Djurs Sommerland (Шаблон:Lang-en) is an amusement park located in Djursland, Denmark, just north of the village of Nimtofte, 23 kilometers west of Grenaa, and 36 kilometers east of Randers.

The park opened in 1981,[1] and it has progressively expanded every year since then. Its guests mostly consist of families, as most of the rides are aimed at kids and teenagers. Because of this, the park has been very adaptive in making rides accessible for most heights and ages. The park is, as suggested in the name, predominantly open in the summer, with the recent addition of special Halloween opening days in October. The season begins around May and lasts until mid-October. Djurs Sommerland has had around 800,000 annual visitors in recent years, making the park the fifth largest tourist attraction in Denmark.[2]

History

Djurs Sommerland was established by the hotelier Børge Godsk Jensen and music agent Ole B. Nielsen. They chose the popular vacation spot of Jylland as location for the park. The park has grown in popularity over the yearsШаблон:Citation needed and has added many rides since opening. The park is now operated by Nielsen's sons Henrik and Michael.

A new attraction, Piraten, was opened in 2008. It held the title of fastest roller coaster in Denmark until 2022 when a coaster in Fårup Sommerland named "Fønix" took the record for height and speed. This changed a lot of press for the park as it got massive media attention and made Djurs Sommerland a must visit destination for tourists. Its top speed is Шаблон:Cvt and maximum height above ground is Шаблон:Convert. Immediately after opening, the coaster was chosen as the fifth best roller coaster in the world.[3]

The current CEO of the park is Henrik B. Nielsen.
