Day 6 of the Camping and Coasters 2004 tour.
Located in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Beautiful Tivoli Gardens is said to be where Walt Disney got his inspiration. And I could see why. From its impressive entrance to the amazing theming, Tivoli really is a special park.
Daemonen was the new for 2004 B&M Floorless coaster. My first experience of a coaster of this type. Its tight, extremely compact layout means that it’s pretty intense. The ride features 3 inversions. A loop, Immeleman (sp?) and barrel roll. All taken at a steady pace. Great fun.
Rutchebanen was the second Scenic Railway of the trip. And it featured a lot more airtime than the one at Bakken. It was also very top heavy on tunnelled sections (its themed as a mountain).
Valhalla Borgen – Now, I’ve been in a fair few Vekoma Mad Houses in my time. But I have to say that this is the granddaddy of them all (yup, even over Hex and Villa Volta in my opinion!). It has the best MH pre-show that I have ever seen. The storyline is based around Odin, the Norse God of war and death. English is cleverly used under the main speech which made the experience that much more enjoyable.
The park also featured a Mack Mine Train, two highly themed and enjoyable dark rides which put some of ours to shame and an insane enterprise/chaos type ride.
Tivoli seems to come alive at night, something which we didn’t have time to sample. Would be perfect to visit the place as part of a city break. |
