Rides
Tivoli's rides will match the craziest thrill seekers' expectations. The legendary Vertigo will drive you upside down at a hundred kilometers per hour. After voting held in 2014, it was officially acknowledged to be Europe's Best Ride. Tivoli's unbeatable ride is still the Roller Coaster from 1914. This oldest wooden ride is a rarity nowadays, as it's one of seven remaining rides worldwide that boast a brakeman on board. The Demon is one of the most thrilling rides in Tivoli Gardens, eliciting screams of excitement with its three incredible loops and reaching a height of 28 meters at its peak.
