Oh my gosh! I think I've fallen in love! :lover: To bad I'll never get to ride it. We've got to get a clone of this somewhere in the US.
I can't wait until we get some reviews on this bad boy!

I agree, It looks amazing. But does anyone else think that it travels a little slow over some of the hills? I'm guessing part of that is A) Colder weather B) Empty train and C) One of the very first runs, but even then it seems slow to me. Am I crazy?

Here's the link to those who understand Danish, and to those who just want to see the first test run:

That's exactly what I thought when I watched the video - "Why's it going so slow?!". Sometimes POVs can be deceiving but even so, it seemed like it was crawling in places... :?r Maybe the lift's not up to full speed yet?

The answer to the slow speed is that Tv2 Østjylland was out there, when Djurs made the first test runs..

So the coaster wasn't "warm" at that moment, and that's why it looks a bit slow =)

Piraten opens tomorrow (in rain :( ), but it's still fantastic...

Well since it opens Djurs Sommerland had searched for "test pilots"; and they rode it today. Sadly I didn't have the time for participating in the contest :cry:

Anyway; the local news was out there again, and I found the clip of it. It's sadly in Danish again, but you still you can get the feeling.

Piraten looks great! I really hope these Intamin Mega Lite coasters catch on more and eventually in the U.S. I can't wait to ride some day. I'm looking forward to the reviews. Thanks for posting the POV.
