Fårup Sommerland has announced that it will open Denmark’s largest and fastest roller coaster in 2022.

Fønix (Phoenix) will be 40 m tall, reach speeds of up to 95 km/h, feature the world’s first 'stall loop' element, and have more airtime than any other ride in Scandinavia.

An investment of almost DKK 100 million (€13 million) is being made in the attraction, which comes from Dutch company Vekoma.

Niels Jørgen Jensen, CEO of Fårup Sommerland:

“This is an historic day for us here at Fårup Sommerland. We're extremely proud to finally unveil our plans to develop and build Denmark’s largest and fastest roller coaster, which will be ready for our guests next year. We’ve been working on it for a long time, and I look forward to see our guests enjoying what it has to offer.”

With a total length of 905 m and 14 different elements, riders will experience 9.2 seconds of weightlessness.

Fønix will also be the first roller coaster in the world to feature a 'stall loop' - a spectacular world first element combining the all-time favourite classic looping with the inverted stall into one new unique element. In this new element the train is forced into an overhead position by half a loop followed by an inverted camelback where the riders experience a period of 2.5 seconds of weightlessness before entering the second half of the loop combined with a twist.

Fårup Sommerland is expecting Fønix to open in April 2022.
