Kölmarden theme park - 17th August

Woke up to the sound of nothing this morning, and soon ruined it by trying to make my own coffee. All up, fed with frosties (no more breakfast feast now we have to do our own...) and our the door by 09:30 for the very short trip to our last theme park.

Kölmarden is primarily a zoo, with a couple of rides tagged on, one of which cost nearly $12 million.


Needless to say, that was the reason for visiting the park, along with the 2 children's coasters.

The ride is amazing. We rode it 6 times throughout the day (the boys did 8) on one of the first rides of the day and the very last,  and it just got faster and more thrilling each time.


The coaster is right at the back of the park, a good 20 minute walk from the entrance, and the paths weave their way past animal enclosures, such as monkeys, elephants, camels, etc. They also have an amazing cable car that takes 30 minutes to go around some of the enclosures, so you get to see the animals from above, which gave a nice perspective.

Couple of last rides of the day, including one where one of the ride ops told us to "look up at the ground" as we go through the first inversion! Interstingly you can see all the supports lined up and it's a very different perspective to normal.

Quick pop to the supermarket, then back to the cabin for some home cooked food and a relaxing evening, which was lush.
