Djurs Sommerland (English: Djurs Summer Land) is an amusement park located in Djursland, Denmark, just north of the village of Nimtofte, 23 kilometers west of Grenaa, and 36 kilometers east of Randers.2

The story

Djurs Sommerland was established by the hotelier Børge Godsk Jensen and music agent Ole B. Nielsen. They chose the popular vacation spot of Jylland as location for the park. The park has grown in popularity over the years and has added many rides since opening. The park is now operated by Nielsen's sons Henrik and Michael.

A new attraction, Piraten, was opened in 2008. It held the title of fastest roller coaster in Denmark until 2022 when a coaster in Fårup Sommerland named "Fønix" took the record for height and speed.

This changed a lot of press for the park, as it got massive media attention and made Djurs Sommerland a must visit destination for tourists.

Its top speed is 90 km/h (56 mph) and maximum height above ground is 31 meters (102 ft). Immediately after opening, the coaster was chosen as the fifth best roller coaster in the world.

The current CEO of the park is Henrik B. Nielsen.
