It has been a long time since I have written a trip report so I am moderately exciting to writing this!
@Rachel and I had been talking about doing a little trip this year and settled on Denmark. Four new parks for both of us!
After a filth o clock start from Cambridge I had the short journey to the awful Stansted Airport. It was the busiest I have ever seen it! Spoons was completely packed! So I had to settled for an overpriced and not particularly nice BK breakfast. I met Rach shortly after and after an uneventful flight we arrived in the land of Lego.
Due to the hire car company not having the car we booked, a free upgrade happened and we ended up with this beast:
It was Rach's first time driving abroad so I had to be a good passenger!
After a short drive we arrived at our first park:
The weather didn't seem to know what to do as it switched between glorious sunshine and pouring rain. First up we did:
Quite an interesting ride. Using your arms to aim and fire took some getting used to. It was then time for creds.
Quite a difficult cred to photograph. Not a very interesting cred to ride. Basically the small dark ride section as Windsor with a couple of helix's and done. meh.
Next up:
It was in the queue for this that talent spotting for the trip began. Scandinavian seems to full of beautiful people....
Overall a decent wild mouse but nothing special.
Polar X-plorer was down so we went to do this:
Amusingly the Tomb Blaster music was being played in the queue line.
A decent shooter.
With Polar still being a spiteful cow we went to eat. Opted for Pizza Pasta buffet. Was much, much better than the crappy UK ones!
Also chips on a pizza:
What a time to be alive!
Finally the main cred was ready!
Starts decent but after the #WhatIsInTHeShed moment it tails off in mediocrity, not even a quick glimpse of some penguins can save it. The vertical drop was pretty good though!
It was then time for Viking River Splash. Boring crapids with a decent drop!
Then it was time for the last cred, Flying Eagle:
A great little family/ kiddie coaster! Very fun!
We then minced around mini land and heading to our hotel.
Overall I've never been particularly impressed with Legoland parks. Too similar, too expense for what they are. Even for families I do not think they are good value.
We spent the evening at Tivoli Friheden!
They had some live music later the in the evening so we got some rides in first.
We started on Tyfonen, a spinner which only span on the brake run!
+1 and done!
Next up was Cobra, which from what I can tell from RCDB is a unique cred!!
We excepted the worst from this. It looked very rough. To be honest it wasn't actually too bad, padded restraints helped!
Next up was Dragen, my 450th woo! I must have been so excited at getting my 450th that I didn't take a photo!
The final cred was Bisvaermen:
Next up was the awesome and massive drop tower! Great views of forrest and harbour!
Then we found a hidden gem:
Basically the Call of Duty Zombies thing, the ride! It was great fun!!
The music was about to start so we grabbed a beer and some snacks!
That is it for part one! Coming up in part two:
Rach gets told off by a car
I eat some fish
And we go on a night out in Aarhus
