This brand-new and intricately themed attraction is inspired and based around the characters from the famous Norwegian author and illustrator, Kjell Aukrust鈥檚, Fl氓klypa Universe, Solan and Ludvig, as they test out Reodor, a crazy Norwegian inventor鈥檚, solution to major climate challenges related to sustainability in the automotive and transportation industry.
Consisting of four, 8-seater, Stargazers which utilise 6DOF motion simulators, allow for a wide variety of movements 鈥� making the ride both smooth and adrenaline-inducing. In front of a large, curved screen at 16 metres widescreen, the vehicles, with steampunk-inspired theming, are designed to look like Reodor鈥檚 Hyperakselerator from the story and combine old and traditional elements to resemble something of a snow sleigh with a high-tech upgrade. The ride itself lasts approximately 5 minutes in total with each Stargazer fitted with on-board special effects including water spray, wind and leg ticklers, to enhance the story鈥檚 realism.
The custom produced media for the ride is to be provided by Norwegian animation company , an award winning filmmaker who have previously created animated features centred around Aukrust鈥檚 books.
Riders take their seats on their very own Hyperakselerator鈥檚, and are encouraged to strap in tight as they embark on a test flight, with Ludvig and Solan, from the very top of Pinch Cliff. Starting at Felgen鈥檚 workshop and entertained by Solan and Ludvig鈥檚 witty commentary, they encounter plenty of challenges and surprises along the way on an unpredictable dash down the mountainside.
Opened in time for the 2021 season, despite pandemic circumstances, Reodor Felgen鈥檚 Hyperakselerator attraction is one of Hunderfossen鈥檚 biggest investments in their park to date.

Reodor Felgen’s Hyperakselerator was awarded a prestigious Thea Award in 2021 for Best Attraction: Limited Budget.
