Day 2:
Djurs Sommerland:
We left the Hotel early because of our ERT. Steven wanted a room to himself so he could put his make-up on as he was dressing up as a pirate (the only one doing so). He then came rushing out of his room 1 minute before we had to leave as he overslept. GOON!
We got to the park in the morning to find an empty car park with only a tractor going up and down. We then got a call from Ian saying that he'd been pulled over by the police so we went in for our ERT. We met up with the staff and they walked us over to the ride.
I got front row as it was my 100th credit. It was an amazing ride. Brilliant first drop with a really intense first corner. Lots of airtime, headchoppers tunnel and it doesn't slow down at all for the whole ride. I didn't ride it as many times as everyone else as I started to feel a bit queasy because of all the strong forces after about 7 rides so took a break and got some pictures. The front was excellent and so was the back but it got a bit shaky towards the end of the ride while sitting in the back.
Ian's car finally turned up with 15 minutes of ERT remaining so they got a few rounds as well. After the ERT we thanked the staff and moved on. We walked past a dingy slide thing but didn't bother riding it.
We then came across an awesome blue cone climbing thing. We all ran straight for it and began climbing. It's much harder than it looks as the blue material is soft and you can get any grip on it. The handle things are also hard to hold onto. There was lots of people sliding down and falling which must of hurt if you caught yourself on one of the handles. I fianally got to the top and was annoyed to find out I had climbed the hardest side. As the other side were green handles and there were loads of them. :lol:
we headed over to Thors Hammer next but it was shut and wasn't going to open till 11.
So instead we decided to go on the rapids. They looked pretty wet from the queue but once on it it wasn't that bad. They had an awesome bid at the end though where you think it's over and a window opens in a house above the boat and a woman comes out and chucks a bucket of water down onto the boat soaking whoever it lands on. Luckily I didn't get hit as I knew something was coming as everyone in the boat in front going up the lift hill had there cameras out and were pointing them at us.
We got of to find a small toilet animatronic by the entrance of the ride that opens and sprays water at people walking past. It was obvious what was going to happen so no-one was dumb enough to stand in front of it.
We all decided it was time for the Slushy stop. On the way to the stall we passed an open fire that people could sit round. You'd never have one in a UK park.
It was then about 5 minutes till Thors Hammer opened so we headed back over there. The queue wasn't too long so we go on pretty quickly. Even though it's themed really well I still find Cobra more fun.
It had a huge buffalo head on a spike dripping blood though which everyone joked was even more gory that the whole of the Saw ride.
We then did Karlos Taxi which is a mini apple coaster. And I think it was the first one I've ever been on. Steven went on the train before everyone as there was a spare seat. The faces on the kids in front when they turned around and saw him was hilarious as they were terrified. :lol:
We then wandered round the park and found an entrance in a small cave. We went in to find three tunnel slides. They were super fast and at the end slammed you down onto solid ground hurting your bum.
The Topple Tower was closed.
So instead we went on the log flume next to it. Colorado River. It was a nice small log flume. It had three drops and surprisingly it was the small one that was about 4 foot high that was the wettest soaking everyone in the log.
We then decided it was time for lunch. Most of us tried some American Diner place that had a massive and slow moving queue. Some people went off to see if there was anywhere else to eat and they came back saying there was a all you can eat buffet a short distance away. Most of us went there and scoffed loads of food until we were about to burst. It was really nice.

After Lunch we met back outside Piraten and decided to re-ride . It was even better now. It was running super fast and the airtime was even better.

We took the remaining few minutes of our lunch break to get close to the ride and take some great shots.
I love this shot I took.
After Piraten we came across some awesome tower thing with slides. Half stayed and watched the bags while others raced off for the slide credits.
Stone Cold took every oppertunity he had to stop halfway down the slide and make everyone pile of. Then slide down and watch everyone topple out of the end in pain. :lol: The topple tower was still shut.
We then found a giant bouncy castle thing embedded in the ground. I'm still not sure if it's filled with water or air. But it's super bouncy and incredibly fun.
We then found a swinging log thing and decided to do the group photo there. The weight on it caused all the logs to shift and move about and we were scared it was going to collapse. But it didn't even tough we were swinging it as far as it went.
It was then time to leave so we waved goodbye to Piraten as we left.
We then got lost slightly trying to find the hotel but got there in the end.
The bunk beds were silly. You had to pull it down from the wall and it was really narrow with no sides to it. So if you rolled over slightly in the night you'd end up on the floor with broken bones as it was really high up as well.
We then had fun trying to work out which handle did what in the bathroom. There were two next to each other and the shower was in the ceiling above where you stood for the sink so if you did it wrong you got soaked. It was really complicated as well. I think the one on the right you had to turn to the right for the sink and left for the shower and depending on how far you turned it determined the power. And the one on the left did the temperature and you had to pull another little handle down to turn it on. Very confusing indeed.
The hotel lobby seemed quite weird though. It didn't seem like a hotel.
Once everyone was out we walked to the second park of the day.
Tivoli Friheden:
The first thing that everyone could see walking into the park was the SCAD Tower dominating above the trees.
The park also had nice little fountains.
The SCAD Tower looked MASSIVE!!!!
And there was a tiny little lift to get to the top of it.
For those unfamiliar with the idea of a SCAD Tower. They put you in a harness. Take you to the top. Hover you over the centre of the tower...
And just release the harness and let you fall...
Our first credit of the park was Orkanens Oje. It was pretty rough but got up some good speed.
Next up was Cobra. Some people were nervous about this as it's only just opened after been closed for ages as it fell apart and crashed with people on it. It had really comfy seats that I think all coasters should try and get. The trains were also nice. But the layout was rough and the inversions were snappy and random.
After you get off they give put free blindfolds in the shop daring you to do it again in the dark. We all though it was a stupid idea so took a load each and wore them on other rides throughout the rest of the trip. Next credit was Dragen.
Pierre got tired after the kiddie coaster so had a nap on the bench.
Next up was Tyfonen. It was a spinning Wild Mouse that didn't spin.
We then did the flat ride Pegasus. The cycle on this was insane and we flipped over loads. Peter lost his park maps and Wills glasses case came flying out his pocket during the ride as well.
We then did the bumper cars where we all did Ian's epic plan. We all decided to wear our blindfolds on the bumper cars. But what we really did was do it so Steven wore his so when it started everyone would take theirs off and just crash into his car. It worked and was hilarious for half the ride before he finally realised what was happening. :lol:
After the bumper cars we headed into the Fun house. It was fun.
After this we decided to go and do the SCAD Tower. It was super cheap only 50DKK which is about £7 I think. Will stole my camera while I went up.
We all got in our harnesses and got our photos taken before going up in the lift. Slayed went up just to take photos. Which was weird as he was scared of heights so he crawled on his hands and knees until he got to the sit where he just sat with his camera. Well done for going up though Slayed.

I'm surprised I wasn't scared or nervous at all until I was halfway falling towards the net.
It was a really weird feeling falling like that. I looks like 3 seconds on videos but when you're falling it feels like 30. Its the ultimate adrenaline rush and most people including myself came off shaking. It was brilliant.
I treated myself to a nice Beer after.
While others went on the SCAD Tower some of went off to do the Ghost Train 'Elses Hotel' it wasn't scary but it was epic because the themeing was amazing and the effects were great too. For example in the first room you go into an elevator. As it's going up your car lifts about a foot of the ground like it's floating and moves around. Here's a POV I did of it. Although it's much better when you're on it in real life.

And that's my super long report for the second day of the Euro-live. I bet no-one reads it all after the time I spent doing it as well.
