The story
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 amusement park is for people of all ages, and the majority of the park's rides are geared toward children. Some of the rides are themed, but the park is not divided into themed areas. The grounds are landscaped with numerous trees and a lake that separates the amusement park from the water park. The Aqua Park is included in the admission price.
