Fårup Sommerland

Fårup Summer Park (Danish: Fårup Sommerland) is a theme park located in Fårup between Blokhus and Løkken in North Jutland, Denmark. The park, as the name suggests, is open during the summer months and attracts about 600,000 people each season. It is one of Denmark's biggest amusement parks and has the largest water park of any amusement park in the country. The park currently has seven roller coasters and many other rides as well.
Opened on 21 June 1975 by the Kragelund family, which had been in the wholesale business in Aalborg for 90 years when Anders Kragelund decided to sell and start a new business - an amusement park. He chose for the site of this venture North Jutland, a beautiful and popular holiday area in Denmark. The amusement park opened small with only a handful of children´s rides and attracted about 40.000 guests in its first operating season in 1975. Over the years the park has grown in popularity and been expanded in area as well, by 1983 many new rides had been added and about 350.000 people visited the park that year. In 1989 a water park was added (Djurs Sommerland had added a water park in 1985). Since 2001 the park has added 5 new roller coasters to its slate, most recently in 2012 and 2013.
The majority of the rides in this park cater to every member of the family making this a very child-friendly amusement park. The park is nicely landscaped with plenty of trees everywhere and a lake separating the amusement park area from the water park. Even though some of the rides are themed the park itself is not divided into specifically themed areas. The Aqua Park is included in the admission price.

Fårup Sommerland est un parc d'attractions ainsi qu'un parc aquatique situé à Fårup, dans la commune de Jammerbugt au Danemark.
L'histoire du parc commence bien avant son ouverture. La famille Kragelund, établie à Aalborg prospère dans le commerce des produits d'épicerie en gros. Malheureusement, au début des années 1970, avec l'arrivée des premiers grands supermarchés, l'activité est en déclin. Alors que la concurrence devient trop forte, la famille Kragelung décide de fermer leur commerce, après 90 ans d'activités, et de réaliser un vieux rêve.
Constatant qu'à cette époque, les familles avaient plus de temps libre, ils décidèrent de tourner leur commerce vers le tourisme. Ils choisirent la ville de Fårup pour devenir l'emplacement de leur nouveau parc de loisirs.
La construction débutât en 1974 et la grande inauguration eu lieu le 21 juin 1975. Il était composé au départ de petites structures comme des trampolines, de canoës, ...
Au fil des années le parc s'agrandit et les attractions deviennent de plus en plus importantes. Le modeste nombre de 40 000 visiteurs en 1975 passe pour la saison 1977 à 150 0001. En 1989, le parc construit l'Aquapark, un petit parc aquatique avec une rivière sauvage et des toboggans aquatiques.
En 1992, le parc construit ses premières montagnes russes, Mine Expressen.
