          The park is very popular and has won numerous
          prestigious awards. For example, they were
          named Denmark’s best amusement park (2014),
          one of the best amusement parks in Europe
          (2015 & 2016) and one of the world’s best
          amusement parks in terms of service (IAAP,
          2015). Studies also show that as much as 99%
          of the guests are very satisfied with their visit,
          which is an incredibly good rating.

          THE AMUSEMENT PARK HAS
          600,000 ANNUAL GUESTS, OUT
          OF WHICH 80% ARE DANISH

          Fårup’s vision is to offer exceptional experiences
          for families throughout the Nordic region.
               Part of this work is to think innovatively in
          relation to products and service. The guests
          constantly want to see new products and want
          the food and the services they are offered to be
          of a high quality.
               A motto that those responsible work in
          accordance with is “What we served today,
          we     cannot      necessarily       serve   tomorrow.”
          A new trend that is emerging is that there is an
          increased focus on using local products and that
          is clearly something Fårup will invest further in,
          in the future.
               Since 10 years, Nic is the natural partner
          when it comes to accessories for the ice cream
          that is served on the premises. These are various
          types of sprinkles, waffles and toppings that are
          offered at the many outlets all around the park.

Rapido is part of the S Group, a network of companies
operating in the retail and service sectors with more than 1600
outlets in Finland.
     Rapido had a long wall with take-away products which
didn’t bring so much turnover so they decided to find a better
solution.

       One step in the right direction is that we have replaced the
               damagepreventive inserts that protects and keeps
 our waffles in place. They were previously made of polystyrene,
      but now they are made of a biodegradable and compostable
                      material that is more environmentally friendly.
