Fønix First Ride, Review & Behind The Scenes - Fårup Sommerland

[@CatsnCoasters]

Wow, these new Vekomas really do look as smooth as silk. Beautiful scenery and themeing with a unique layout. Really needs some audio though to finish it off. Glad you loved it. Can't believe the level of trust the park granted everyone, awesome!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was a brilliant trip!

[@VillasByrne]

Hey Shawn and Charlotte. Its great to see your overall thoughts here, and i deffenitely agree about the ardio, and I agree with litterally every positive thougths about the expeience. as a dane, i am super excided for the rest of your danish trip! We met at the Park (I am a long haired guy in a green jacked if thay helps). It was great to meet you, and I really wanna point out how warm and kind you guys are to all your fans! Huge respect!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was great to meet you! Thank you so much!

[@davidm3569]

Thank You ! That was such an eye opener. To see so much of what is normally a hidden mystery to everyone, except for the operators and people who look after the ride... WOW. Looks as you said like a family coaster, smooth ride but with that bit extra thrill effect. To see people climbing around all the different areas normally out of bounds to the public, then to see people allowed to sit on the track ! Amazing.........OMG. Can't wait to see the rest of the park. You'll remember this day for ever 😁

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was such an amazing experience!

[@punkykarooney2912]

Wow what a nice experience for all of the Theme park rolloercoaster enthusiasts getting a life time experience being abile to walk up really close with this ride, how generous of the park and the operators, this ride looks incredible, However my highlight was watching you both enjoying yourselves on this epic rollercoaster especially with your Go Pro attached to the carriage including a virtual tour of the actual close up train experience being abile to walk around the entire cariiages even setting on the track that’s literally the most awesome experience I’ve ever seen, great on ride guys Thank you for sharing Shawn,

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was such a great experience

[@thomasmichaels1671]

Amazing hospitality with that behind-the-scene access!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was brilliant!

[@davidnm21]

Awesome Shawn and what a beautiful view at the top of the lift hill. The design of the trains are amazing and I love the inversion through the station. The first loop you seem to just hang momentarily before making a fast exit and into some fabulous air time. Probably would agree with you that it’s at the top end of an extreme family oriented coaster. Amazing behind the scenes tour afterwards too👍

[@captainmeow5335]

What a privilege, to get so close! Imagine that happening in the UK..... Fun looking coaster, and great behind the scenes tour.

[@jguyfletch2187]

Oh how beautiful to watch this video presentation! I am smiling the whole way through as Shawn and Charlotte make a perfect couple on holiday. Everything looks wonderful with you two and best wishes it keeps that way. It must not be easy to produce internet content to share with the entire world, but, both of you do it so well! With handsome Shawn and beautiful Charlotte having only joy between them, it makes my corner of the planet a lighter shade of bright as well. Cheers!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you so much!

Living the best life you 2. Looks super smooth loving the twist after the loop ➿🎢😁

[@gavinsadventuresinterests.]

This is why brand new big major roller coaster rides cost so much money to design & build, literally multi-millions of pounds or what ever the currency is for that country. And the design & quality of it is great. Very high quality ride that is very well designed. It's one of the nicest Vekoma rides i have seen in a while. Vekoma are a great ride manufacturer. But i personally believe that Bolliger & Mabillard are one of the best roller coaster manufacturers in the world. I know i shouldn't compare but i can't help it.

[@chrisbaker9767]

very good video Shawn and Charlotte from Fårup Sommerland in Denmark to experience the launch night of Fønix! This brand new roller coaster is manufactured by Vekoma and features 3 inversions and a top speed of 59mph. In this vlog, we share on ride POVs from Fønix along with our full review of the ride. We're also treated to a special behind-the-scenes tour of this awesome new roller coaster! I cant wait to see the video vlog from the rest of the theme park on the channel, big thumbs up to you both on the chanel.

[@CameronGarciaHicks]

So happy you two had a great time and fønix looks like a great ride hope for more good memories like this!!.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@JoriDiculous]

With all the teasing on Instagram, twitter and the "hotel" vlog, im so hyped for this :) Looks like a really good coaster, not to intense so more people can enjoy it. Good with the slowdown on the lift instead of brakes on the ride. Nice layout, good interaction with the public. (maybe some lights on the train for the nigh-time could be nice) Great shots with lift hill, the train and the moon.

[@AliAliHough]

Wow I’d love to see a modern Vekoma in the UK one day these new gen Vekoma coasters overseas looks amazing 🤩

[@shaunfawcett562]

Honestly Shawn..there is never a dull vlog.. quality content every time.. impressed with this one..love the location..the trees etc make it perfect.. theming is important..this one is spot on..best wishes Shaun..🙂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@nrdythugg4102]

It reminds me of Kondaa, first a lot of people said it wasn't intense enough and after a few weeks they fixed it somehow. I hope this one will get more intense in the summer.

[@wallinballinfam]

I don’t think it was so much that they “fixed” it so much as the temperatures just went up 10-20 degrees. Notice they’re both wearing coats here, so the coaster could speed up significantly just via seasonal temperatures.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’ll definitely ride better on a warmer day!

[@keiragardiner]

Great video, enjoyed it! Love you and Charlotte in the thumbnail! 🌷

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

Ring check Charlotte! You don’t want to lose it on the ride. This coaster looks really fun. Love the crazy amount of dippy doos.

[@stevehumphries8070]

Just back from Energylandia, a trip inspired from watching one of your vlogs Shawn. The park was empty yesterday, everything was walk on. My 12 year daughter and I, loved Hyperion, Zadra and Abyssus. Great park that just keeps getting bigger and bigger by the looks of it.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Great to hear!

[@Whatismyname146]

Good to see Vekoma really knocking it out the park with all these new models!

[@leilasuley]

It really makes you feel like your flying on a Phoenix, Especially the twists and turns it’s so like a Bird. Love how they designed it make you actually feel like you on one! Makes sure you advise them on getting theme music in the cue and waiting area :) 🙏🏻

Looks a great park guys, Fonix looks amazing, what a ride that is. Have a great time both.

[@IWTBF]

That was the quickest and smoothest lift hill climb I ever seen

[@gemmachaos]

Intersting how Vekoma has yet to top or even equal Lech in terms of intensity. It seems like they are more interested now in B&M style graceful, accessible rides rather than agressive rides like Lech.

[@nilzz_2836]

Kind of a shame to be honest

[@flaw3dgenius222]

Lets hope not

[@jimit.4220]

If everything was intense and insane, the industry would grow stale. And on top of that there are still plenty of manufactures focusing mostly on really intense rides: Intamin, RMC, S&S, the gravity group, and maybe even gci. B&M, Vekoma and premier rides focusing more on graceful and gp oriented rides isn't at all a bad thing. Coaster enthusiasts should get off of their high horses.

[@gemmachaos]

It was merely an observation on my part, not a judgement. I have since ridden Lech Coaster, and hoo boy. 132 rides into my cred list and I've finally found something too intense for me! Nothing I've ever ridden comes close. I can kind of see why that model didn't catch on, to be honest. Not sure if spending half a ride fighting not to loose conciousness is what I look for in a roller coaster.

[@flaw3dgenius222]

[@ollieocrouch324]

So hyped to ride this in 3 weeks

[@brendanrubio-boitel4940]

Yes

[@floridamaddogg]

I think the fact these new generation Vekomas appear to be super smooth is a big win for them no matter how forceful or unforecful they are. Vekoma really destroyed themselves in America with the Hang n Bangs and boomerangs, mostly due to the roughness and headaches caused. I feel the new Vekomas look really nice, but they look like great additions to mid and lower tier parks that don't have the budget for B&Ms or Intamins. Edit: I had to add this because it was funny when you were talking about it as a family coaster and having called other bigger thrill rides as family coasters😂....what comes to my mind is when you visited Six Flags over Georgia and called most their rides including Twisted Cyclone as a family ride. Everyone watching was thinking "What has Sean been drinking all day?"😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing! It’s such a great addition to the park!

[@michellehiggs60]

[@henrydawson8682]

defiantly paultons! i think a ride like this would be so cool there, with their theming, they could be amazing if they enter the thrill route but still making it family

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Definitely!

[@theodoretoth2884]

Def a beautiful coaster, and I was so excited to see your POV, but year I agree with you it looked super slow! Like it’s built as a intense roller coaster like maverick but rides like a kiddie coaster! I dunno looks beautiful looks super smooth but yeah just really slow !! Maybe you are right tho it’s new and cold, maybe it needs to warm up

[@sportsygirl8]

That looks awesome!!! I love that inversion through the station that is brilliant. When you're riding and seeing the video you can't really tell it's a station that you've gone through. The restraints look pretty wacky, I hope that they aren't uncomfortable.

[@VloggStarADJ]

Wow looks so great! Jealousy is high 🤩

[@DJSOfficialUK]

Love it, looks good rollercoaster, think it could do with more theming around the area involving the music as think with agreement needs soundtrack aswell maybe sounds & music to bring area & coaster more to life. Think they could do with more themed tunnels, areas and landscaping around the area especially planting & trees, to really blend it in as at the moment in video it looks to bare for me. Hoping this is what happens over time, more plants and trees grow over time, but yeah thats the thing that lets it down for me aswell no music / soundtrack. But apart from that, good coaster, amazing shots and different perspectives onboard coaster. Enjoyed, love the corkscrew through the station & agree thats the highlight of ride, would love to see a coaster like this in the UK. Who knows, this could be the type in Alton Towers Resort inside attraction? If its a coaster? Be good addition if it is especially if built into ground & goes very high via launch, climb or maybe a unique element a lift? Think type of coaster be perfect for Thorpe Park Resort, Oakwood, Chessington WOA, even The London Resort 100% if happens? Massive if lol. Also interesting to see behind the scenes, would love to have a Behind the Scenes on Vampire at Chessington WOA one day, but who knows or Jumanji? But again who knows? Maybe one day? Interesting thing for me aswell cool way is the way the coaster train is positioned without track, looks epic lol. Like its floating lol. Cheers for another good video, loved the watch and now going to watch full park vlog. Cheers again. 😀👍

35:32 How often do you get a tour when you get to climb onto the roller coaster stairs? For most people, never. I believe at Epcot one time, they used to have tours of Spaceship Earth when a tour guide takes you on a tour of the dark ride after hours and you walk up the stairs and ramp with ride turned off.
