June 25th 2009 - Ferry to Denmark and Bakken

Our day started early at the guesthouse still near Hansa Park. Today was the day to travel to Denmark and find a place to stay for the rest of the week.
We continued the road further up north towards the ferry to Denmark. The ferry took about half an hour.

Image
Gah... Waiting... I want to ride some new rollercoasters!

Image
Finally, we leave Germany. Off to Denmark!

Image
Lot's of water

Image
Waves, yayyyyyyy!

Image
The sun was present too [:)]

Image
Beautyfull clouds too

Image
Look, it's Danish Mainland!

After arrival in Denmark we continued our trip towards Copenhagen. We had about a whole day to find a place to stay for the rest of the holiday. With help of our tom tom we entered some hotels and just drove towards them. Lot's of hotels but the most of them didn't even had a parking lot for the car. We even found some hostels but those were way too expensive. About 120????????? a night and then you still had to buy the bedsheets, etc! [shocked] After a while we found a nice motel for about 100????????? a night. Breakfast, etc all included. We even had a luxury room for that prize!
We dropped off our stuff at our room and decided to go to Bakken. Only about 30 minutes drive from our Motel and it was opened until 11pm! So we still would have a good 5-6 hours in the park.

Image
Dyrehavsbakken, yup. That's the place where we should be!

Image
Parking lot bakken, that way!

Image
Me at the summer ticketbooths at the entrance of the park. The park is free for everyone. If you'd want to ride some rides you can buy seperate tickets or buy a wristband for about 200 Danish Krones. It's too bad you are limited to riding each ride up to 10 times. If you'd want to ride more you'll need to buy a new wristband or buy single tickets. But there are soo many rides in the park that it's almost impossible to ride each ride 10 times in 1 day.

Image
Yay for a zierer Small. Coastercredit!

Image
I know a lot of parents looked weird at me and my mom when we rode it [lol]

Image
Tornado also get's my sign of approval. Brand new ride and it kicks ass! It just feels too short. Best part of the ride has got to be the lift hill. Bottom of the lift: Fast, near the top: doubled the speed!, on the top: TURBO! (Triple the speed! [shocked]) And that immediatly followed by a turning drop down which provides insane airtime and lateral moments. It's so crazy that i'd absolutely love it!

Image
Then it was off to a classic woodie with still a brakeman in the back on the train.

Image
Lot's of people waiting, but this amount fills a full train!

Image
Good, camera's are allowed. Yay!

The ride is really cool with a non-strait lifthill! A cable pulls the train to the top of the ride. After that the brakeman controls the speed on the ride. The normal drops don't really provide any airtime, but the 2 double downs and the airtime hill that is next to the station do provide some really nice airtime. Which suprised me since the trains are totally loose on the track. No upstop wheels or whatever! There's also a nice tunnel on the ride with 2 more dips. It's a nice and cool finish of the ride. [:)]
After the woodie goodyness it was time to search the 2 other rollercoasters out there. After a lap we found them. First one was a Zierer Flitzer. Only done once that type or ride on a fairground. Coolest part is that it has no restraits.

Image
Going up

Image
And a couple of feet further we found the last coaster to be ridden. An intamin minetrain. Yes Intamin!

Image
I was suprised to see the name of intamin there. I expected some other builder. Never knew that Intamin used to build a mine-train rollercoaster. The ride is really cool. It's smooth, long and it has some small spots with airtime.

Image
This ride also get's my sign of approval!

Image
Zierer Jet Ski's! Those are cool! I got people at the side line soaked! [devilish]

Image
One more for Tornado, WTG mom for still capturing her! [lol]

Image
Camera ready, now let's capture that insane ride!

Image
Yeah, I survived once again

Image
The ride is cool around the evening. It has tons of LED lights! [lol]

Image
Huh? Am I in Germany on a Fairground or Still in Denmark at Bakken? [lol]

Image
Awesome, a Moser Rides Speedflip! Really cool ride, too bad it's so short...

Image
S&S Double Shot Tower. Pretty cool stuff. Never ridden a double shot program before, and it's cool. Twice for a really short moment some nice airtime [:)]

Image
I spy a Rollercoaster between the trees!

Image
No seatbelt FTW!

Image
Going up!

Image
Whee, turns!

Image
Yeah xD

Image
Awesome, This ride has a brakeman too! [lol]

Image
A swinging Dragon?

Image
Yeah, Swarchkopf Monster 3! I love those rides

Image
Look! They have DDR! Too bad it's a Fusion...

Image
Zierer JetSki's once again! Yay!

Image
Time for some Woodie onride shots!

Image
Crooked lift! [8D]

Image
Nice layout

Image
2nd double down, onride photo and airtime hill for the frontseat!

Image
Tunnel! [:D]

Image
Awww... The ride is over again...

Image
Checking the seats if nothing stayed behind

Image
Onride Action on Tornado! Insane Lifthill!

Image
Look, it's the drop!

Image
A view on the drop's transition

Image
Smooth turns

Image
And more smooth curves

Image
More onride photo's, this time it's on the intamin minetrain

Image
First drop!

Image
Did i mention the tunneltest failed? [lol] Yes, if you don't pay attention that branch is in your face! [lol]

Image
And then the couple last rides on the classic woodie

Image
Me with the awesome operator! He's only 18! [lol]

Image
The onride photo from me and my mom on the ride! [:D]

Image
Awesome, they have a clock from onride.de! A german fansite xD

Image
In the evening it's also beautyfull to shoot some photo's. Too bad the place is soo crammed that it's hard to shoot some proper photo's [lol]

Image
Tornado! xD

Image
