Farup Sommerland to Build Orkanen

Fårup Sommerland (located in Denmark) will open a family-sized Vekoma suspended coaster in 2013 named “Orkanen,” which is the Danish word for “hurricane.” The just-under-1500-feet coaster will an underwater tunnel and speeds of over 45 mph.

Orkanen’s first drop will send riders into an underwater tunnel.

After the seven-story first drop, the remainder of Orkanen’s layout is much closer to the ground.

Orkanen seems to be a great addition to the park’s current offerings. What are your thoughts about Orkanen? Share in the comments section below!
