The Sommarland River (Sommarlandelva)
Go with the flow in the Sommarland River - a 250 metre long artificial river. The Sommerland River 'flows' round an idyllic little island where sun worshippers flock and where you can buy a drink to quench your thirst or other refreshments. To really relax, try lying on a large rubber ring and just let yourself drift along with the flow of the river. Those who prefer more of a challenge, try to swim against the current and face a real struggle when the flow of water increases. Once every hour, all the water is collected and then released, giving those on rubber rings an unforgettable rafting experience on the wave. Lifeguards monitor all activities in and around the river to ensure your safety.
Flow Rider
The coolest attraction in Norway and Europe for those who love skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing. The huge artificial wave, Flow Rider, is thought to be the best in the world. The wave was designed by Tom Lochtefeld and the company Wave Loch of La Jolla, California. Tom lives near the rocky crags where the Pacific breakers crash and he has designed artificial waves after extensive study of the waves outside his home. The artificial wave is linked to the Sommarland River and when the wave is operating, the flow of water in the river increases.
Mot i brøstet flume (Mot i Brøstet)
Europe's first and so far only rollercoaster flume is an experience which makes you tremble with excitement - you need a bit of courage to try this one! This rollercoaster flume will make you tremble with excitement. You have to have a bit of courage here, enjoy getting wet and steering through tunnels. Up to two people sit in a large rubber inflatable, which is blown up and down along the flume before the ride finishes in a dark tunnel.
Magasuget slide (Magasuget)
One of the world's best free-fall slides has been Sommarland's trademark for several years. From the top, it's a sheer drop of 26 metres. Magasuget is a challenge for those who love high diving boards, bungee jumping or other activities which get the adrenaline pumping. However, many ordinary mothers and fathers have risen to the challenge and have done something they never thought they would - and have enjoyed it! Those waiting their turn applaud the achievement, which makes it all the more enjoyable. From the top, 26 metres above the ground, the descent begins with a free fall down a water slide, which gradually levels out as it heads towards the ground. The descent ends safely as you slide into a water-filled channel at the bottom. This acts as a brake.
Space Ball (Sentrifuga)
The Space Ball centrifugal slide is an amazing experience in which speed and centrifugal force create the illusion of being in a whirlpool.Space Ball is the season's major new attraction. You begin by throwing yourself into a dark tunnel where you can reach a speed of up to 60 km/h. After the tunnel, you enter the Space Ball itself. Spiralling down towards the centre, this is an experience like no other water slide. When you reach the centre of the ball, you drop into a deep pool.
Steintjoenn lake (Steintjønn)
Sommarland is a busy activity park, full of fun and life. Not far from the entrance however, is the tranquil Steintjoenn lake. Here you can borrow a canoe for short trip and this can be a relaxing break.
