Denmark’s newest, largest and fastest roller coaster at Fårup Sommerland has completed its first test run.

Fønix (Phoenix) is 40 metres tall, it reaches a top speed of 95 km/h, features the world’s first 'stall loop' element, and has 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.

With a total length of 905 metres and 14 different elements, riders of Fønix 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.
