Sommerland Sjaelland in Denmark has opened a major new high ropes course from UK family attractions specialist Innovative Leisure for the 2011 season.
Situated in Nykøbing, about 55 miles west of the capital of Copenhagen, Sommerland Sjaelland has added a two-level, seven pole Sky Trail Navigator, as launched at the IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando in November last year. The park is a seasonal, summer resort style venue and is focused on open space and active elements for children to take part in, such as canoeing, interactive games, trampolines and a waterpark.
The custom designed course features a variety of fun, challenging elements for all ages. The second level is more testing than the first but allows younger children to build their confidence, where necessary, to move up to a more challenging section.
The new course has been set up to cater for 35 participants at any one time, with an hourly capacity of 100. It is also the first installation of a major high ropes course by Innovative Leisure where the client has included the attraction in the entrance price of the park, as opposed to operating it as a secondary spend item.
Commenting on the venue’s latest addition, Sommerland Sjaelland’s owner and manager, Kaare Dyvekær, said: "We are very satisfied with the Sky Trail Navigator course, which in our park is named Klatrefidusen. Our guests have given us fantastic feedback on the new attraction, which has confirmed to us that it was the right decision to choose something that provides a physical activity as opposed to a more passive experience in, for example, a new roller coaster.
“Families are having fun together and that was our goal in buying the high ropes course for Sommerland Sjaelland."
