No licence-clean photograph of Juvelen has crossed our desk yet, so the card runs house illustration for now — a placeholder, not a stand-in for the real ride. Send us your shot of it (structure-first, no park logos or mascots in frame) and if it's the one, your name goes on the card — permanent, printed, yours.
Submitting a photo means signing in first — the credit line only means something attached to an account.

The story of Juvelen
Djurs Sommerland began in 1981 on flat land in Djursland, and the park’s own history describes a steady passage from outdoor activity park to a place of larger mechanical rides and carefully made themed areas. Juvelen belongs to that later, more ambitious chapter, when the summer park in Nimtofte had learned to dress its machinery in a full setting. djurssommerland.dk
In 2013, Mexicoland was enlarged by 12,000 square metres for Juvelen. The new ride gave the area a full kilometre of track, and the park identified it as Denmark’s longest roller coaster and Europe’s only double-launch coaster at the time. djurssommerland.dk· djurssommerland.dk
Intamin supplied the steel Family Launch Coaster, a forward-running machine with tyre-propelled launch and boost sections. There are no inversions here; the achievement is in the pace, the length, and the way the course keeps close company with its ravines and planted scenery. coasterpedia.net· de.wikipedia.org
Recognition followed soon after opening. The FKF-Award named Djurs Sommerland and Intamin for Juvelen in its 2013 awards, praising a family-friendly launched coaster whose low-running layout and setting made a complete and well-judged whole. fkf-award.de
