Record-breaking ride creator, Intamin, has done it again with DrageKongen (Dragon King) at Djurs Sommerland in Denmark.
DrageKongen has made its den in Djurs Sommerland's newly-opened Asian themed area. Riders beware - the dragon has just awoken from a 1,000-year sleep and is preparing to hold them in its iron grip.
Riders board one of the 2 suspended trains, each seating up to 14 people. With a jolt, the launchpropels riders through the firebolt temple before ascending to a height of 30 metres. With hearts pumpingand adrenaline surging,they dive downat a hair-raising 85 km/h, legs dangling freely in the air.
The 825 meter long track hurtles through the dragon's subterranean lair and is bristling with razor-sharp bends, mystery and thrilling weightlessness.
DrageKongen joins Intamin's Juvelen and Piraten rides, both record-breakers in their own right. Juvelen is a 'family launch coaster' which opened in 2013. It is Denmark's longest coaster at 1km. Piraten is a 'mega lite coaster' and has been voted one of the world's greatest coasters. Opened in 2008, it is Denmark's biggest and fastest coaster with a top speed of 90km/h.
