Stepping through the gates of Tivoli Gardens is definitley a step back in time. Kamilla and I spent a whole afternoon here, enjoying this classical amusement park. Opening in 1843, Tivoli Gardens is full of vintage rides, restaurants and shops. Many of the rides although not modern in their construction, still gave the same adrenalin rush and 'sick feeling' as many of the modern rides do. Like the roller coaster that continued to cycle the rails for what seemed like an eternity or bad joke, eventually slowing down to snail pace on the last corner - which I think was the worst part - having all its' passengers hanging out the sides. Or the Octopus ride where you were in control of the elevation, up, down, up and down, all while riding in cirlces. It seemed that the only reaction, other than sickness, was for Kamilla and I to laugh the whole time. One operator commented that it was great to see laughter coming from young of heart - we took this comment as a compliment. So, other than the rides, we sampled many Danish delights from the food stalls and window shopped. It really was like being in a fairytale.
