Reminds me of my old Rollercoaster Tycoon ride names butt-hole is too intense for me "Just looking at butt-hole makes me feel sick!"

Clue 2 of 6. There's A Light At The End Of The Tunnel

Indeed, the ghost train was a lot of fun. I really like the feel of classic rides. Also, it was surprisingly well themed.

Following the rumor that Dragon Challenge may be removed to build a new Harry Potter themed attraction, Screamscape has posted a new rumor that we should expect a new family coaster/dark ride attraction concept themed to the “Forbidden Forest”. If all the rumors hold true, Universal may be working with Mack Rides to adapt their “Inverted Powered Coaster” ride system for this new attraction. To date, there are only 2 Inverted Powered Coasters; Arthur at Europa-Park and Dragon Gliders at MotionGate Dubai. But again, it is just a rumor.

Bakken - June 2017 Hello everyone! June 28th and 29th 2017, I went for my first ever time to Copenhagen to visit Tivoli Gardens and Bakken. I spent the first day in Tivoli Gardens, and the second day in Bakken. On June 29th I visited Bakken, the oldest amusement park in the world. It is located on the edge of Copenhagen. The park does not charge an entrance fee, but like Tivoli Gardens, you have to buy individual ride tickets. You can also buy a wristband with access to all the attractions. The wooded area and many access roads provide a free and open atmosphere that I had never experienced before at a theme park. Queues were pretty much non existent that day, which led to numerous rerides (and that's something we all want). Overall, I had a brilliant time at one of the most unique parks in Europe. Sadly, Tornado (the Intamin Spinning Coaster) was closed during my visit. It is a shame, because I was really looking forward to riding this insane coaster. But that is how it goes sometimes, so we dealt with it and enjoyed the rest of Bakken! Rutschebanen (6,5/10) One of the oldest coasters in Europe, and it's still awesome! Definitely not as good as Rutschebanen at Tivoli, but still better than some of the newer woodies. The airtime was great, especially considering its age. One downside, you got braked fairly hard before every drop. And I am sure that if that wasn't the case, the airtime would be insane. Don't get me wrong, it was still great, but nothing compared to Rutschebanen at Tivoli. Also, it was surprisingly smooth. There was not really any theming, though. Also, the fact that there was absolutely no queue all day and that they were running 3 (!!) trains, is fantastic! I would love to see that at some other parks. Mine Train Ulven (6/10) This coaster was a surprise hit! It was so much fun. It makes me wonder why there aren't more of these. They are very smooth, and they have a really good pacing through the entire ride, without being too intense. It is definitely one of my favourite family coasters! Vilde Mus (5/10) Your standard Mack Wild Mouse, with some slight changes in the layout. It is my second favourite Wild Mouse (after Matterhorn Blitz at Europa-Park). Mostly because this one has some great theming, it is very smooth and it is barely braked. Racing (3,5/10) Racing was a fun classic coaster. It is actually quite an intense ride. Mariehønen (2/10) Although it is a standard Tivoli Coaster, this one was very different. The operator stops the train on the lift hill after a few laps, after which the booster wheels launch you over the top. It was very fun! Welcome to Bakken - the oldest amusement park in the world! Like Tivoli, this park is full with lovely restaurants. I love all the little buildings! And oh yeah, the woodie in the back too. These rides are a lot of fun. London Bus Stop. Weird, because there's a train next to it. Let's start with a ride on Mine Train Ulven. Going up the lift hill. What a very fun ride. It's one of my favourite family coasters! Hands up if you love Mine Train Ulven! No? Okay.. Next up, Rodeo Banen. Start your engines! Why is this so funny to pronounce? Not too often you see some swans in the air. They also have this classic log flume. I really liked it! Some more beautiful Danish buildings. Lots of places to eat and relax at this park. Bakken is also home to multiple games. All very well themed. Someone fancy a ride through the jungle? Classic Tea Cup ride. It's time for Mariehønen. Back view. If all parks would operate their Tivoli's like they do at Bakken, I would ride it every time! Another well themed restaurant. Like almost every other park, Bakken also has Bumper Cars. Tornado. Unfortunately, I won't be riding it today. I don't speak Danish, but I know what this means. No Tornado-ing today. A closer look at the lift launch. Great theming, though! If you want to roll in the sky, Sky Roller is the place to be! They also have this awesome Fun House! Extreme is too extreme for me. No, thank you. Time for a ride on Vilde Mus! More sharp turns coming up. This one has magnetic brakes - thank God! There is also hardly any braking, which is awesome! De 'Empty' Mus This was an awesome S&S tower. Some of the best airtime I've ever had on one of these! Ready for a race? Number 7 for the win! What a great classic coaster! Don't even ask. Pirate ship thingy. This is one of my favorite flats in the world, and it has a very long circle. What more could you ask for? Pissoir, this way! Some more games. Another classic ride - a ghost train. It was packed in front of the stage! I am not even trying going to sit between them. Crazy Theatre. Nothing special, though. You can even go on a safari at Bakken! They also have a train that takes you around the park. I have got no idea what this is. Apparently, it is always Christmas at Bakken! What is this supposed to mean? Some beautiful paintings of Bakken. It's time for Rutschebanen! 3 train operation + barely any people = empty trains Go home lift hill, you're drunk. Three train shot for y'all. Double down through the Scandinavian flags. It's a shame I wasn't able to experience this park at night, but I had a plane to catch. When life doesn't go right.. Go left! Airtime! What a classic, I loved it! My last photo at Bakken, which means the end of the trip. Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it!

That 'cave' is indeed the exit of the ride. To enter the queue, you have to go through the gate on the right.

The last episode of The Making-of: Symbolica.

Thank you! And yes, Dæmonen is a very compact ride, but lots of fun. And the helix before the drop is definitely unique.

The fireworks were indeed very loud. And for it being in the middle of a big city, I was wondering what the people living near the park would think about that. But it is indeed a very lovely park!

Thank you! It is indeed a very natural park, hence why it is called Tivoli Gardens and not Tivoli Concrete, I guess But you are absolutely right about the fact that people don't go to parks only for the coasters, at least for me. Of course, the coasters are a major factor, but I'd much rather have a very natural park with a few less coasters than a 'concrete' park that has coasters on the parking lot. Also, most of the people weren't even there for the rides, they were just relaxing in the park's beautiful gardens. And I can't blame them at all! Yes, they still do that! And it is indeed an awesome way to avoid waste. Another reason why this park is awesome!

Big Thunder Mountain @ Disneyland Paris. But that will probably change when I ride Lech Coaster @ Legendia.

They are indeed one of the most beautiful parks in Europe! I really enjoyed Rutschebanen. It is an awesome ride, especially for its age. And when you have a good brakeman, the airtime is insane!

No, I don't. Do you think Shambhala would be in your top 5 coasters?

Yes, indeed. I felt the same way. It's amazing how they have so many beautiful gardens, and they still find the space for the rides, without losing the "garden feeling".

^That's pretty interesting. Because I absolutely loved Symbolica. My expectations were high, and it exceeded all of them. In my opinion, the ride gets better the more you ride it because there are so many things to see, and everytime you discover something different you didn't saw the first time. For me, it is clearly the best Dark Ride at the park. But hey, we all have different opinions, and that's what makes it fun right?

It surely is a very beautiful park. I hope you will be able to get out there someday! It is very easy to get to, and the park itself is just so relaxing.

Tivoli Gardens - June 2017 Hello everyone! June 28th and 29th 2017, I went for my first ever time to Copenhagen to visit Tivoli Gardens and Bakken. I spent the first day in Tivoli Gardens, and the second day in Bakken. On June 28th I visited Tivoli Gardens. This was a park I wanted to visit for a very long time, and especcialy after my visit to Liseberg last year. I don't know why exactly, but there is something about these city parks that I just love. The park is very beautiful with all the gardens (hence why it's called Tivoli Gardens). I did not know what to expect from the queue times, but they weren't bad at all. Most rides had a wait time of 5-10, except for Dæmonen with 15-20 minutes. Overall, I had an amazing time at one of the most beautifully landscaped parks in Europe. Dæmonen (7,5/10) This was my first B&M Floorless, and I just loved how compact it is. The elements follow each other so quickly, no time to have a break, and I really liked that. I also liked that you start off with the helix after the lift hill, that's something unique. Also, the zero-G roll is just perfect! The ride was perfectly smooth, but the theming was okay, nothing too special. The area looked nice, but that's pretty much it. In terms of comparing it to the other B&M's I've ridden, Dæmonen is my least favourite. But don't get me wrong, it is still an awesome ride and gets a 7,5/10 from me. Rutschebanen (7/10) The fact that this coaster opened in 1914 and is still this awesome just blew my mind. Seriously, Rutschebanen is definitely in my top 10 wooden coasters. The airtime is insane, especially in the back. Also, it was surprisingly smooth. And the mountain that you're going through looks great. I knew this ride would be a blast, but it exceeded my expectations. During my last ride, we had to stop in the second corner. The brakeman told us there was something wrong with the train in front of us. After 5 minutes, we got green light and continued our ride. Because we proceeded from a standstill, the rest of the ride wasn't that good. But he asked if we wanted to stay seated and go for another ride. And since we are not stupid, of course we said yes. And OMG! That last ride was totally amazing! He barely braked and we just went totally crazy. The airtime was phenomenal, and we were thrown from side to side in the last section. Shout out to that guy, he is fantastic! Odinexpressen (3/10) A Mack Powered Coaster that was actually pretty forceful, but it had absolutely no theming. It was pretty smooth, though. But it's just not my kind of ride. Karavanen (1,5/10) Your standard Tivoli Coaster (yes, a Tivoli at Tivoli). At least this one has got some theming. Welcome to Tivoli Gardens. First impressions: what a beautiful park. I bet this will look even better at night. Tivoli Gardens is full with beautiful, well.. Gardens. The Star Flyer is the only way you can tell that I am in an amusement park. The big Tivoli stage. You wouldn't say that I am in the most populous city of Denmark. First ride of the day - Rutschebanen! Airtime! It is strictly forbidden to stand up in the cars - except for the brakeman! What a classic, I absolutely loved it! Rutschebanen's mountain in front, Copenhagen in the back. The Brakeman is just chillin' around. Mind your head! There are lots and lots of restaurants at Tivoli. The park's Ferris Wheel. Minen - a fun little interactive dark/boat ride. It had some decent theming, and it was fun! The concert hall of Tivoli. They also have this classic Breakdance. I love these classic rides. Time for a ride on Himmelskibet, Star Flyer in English. (Thanks Google) Amazing views from Copenhagen up there. With its 80 meters (260 ft) tall tower, it's the tallest ride at the park. I wanted to have a night ride on it, but it closed at 22:00 for the fireworks. Anyone fancy a balloon? A closer look at those powering wheels underneath the train. Next up, Odinexpressen. You get 3 laps on it, which is great! I'll never skip a ride on the Bumper Cars. You get a very long cycle on it. Awesome! Astronomen; a beautifully themed flat ride. All the rides at Tivoli just look so pretty. "Life is the most wonderful fairy tale" The China area of the park. Dæmonen, with or without VR. Peeking through the loop. The lift hill it's not that tall, but the station is about 10 meters (30 ft) above the ground. The lights will follow the path of the train at night. Best zero-G roll I've done! Rollin' towards the station. What a beautiful mess of track. Dæmonen doing its thing. You can choose to ride VR, but only in the 2nd - 4th row. I am not a big fan of it.. It's like a mine Dragon Khan. Just cruising around. Just your standard towers, nothing special. Although you get great views of the Gardens and the city. This is quite possibly the most intense ride I have ever done. 5 freakin' G's is a bit too much for me. And if the 5 G's doesn't make you feel sick, the spinning definitely will. Monsunen - an inverted flying carpet. The newest ride of the park - Fata Morgana. The "twirl" sides are definitely the best. They have a Tivoli at Tivoli, how awesome is that. For those Booster Wheel enthusiasts out there. Helix helix helix! What a beautiful park it is. There is a fountain and water show on this lake at night. Floating garden, only at Tivoli Gardens. I love little things like this. A Danish bird, standing on one leg. What a great act! There is a restaurant in that ship. Yes, we are still at Tivoli. They had a garden (of course) with dozens of little fountains like this. Another restaurant. You will not be hungry here. This park is just so relaxing. Anyone in for a bit of Jazz? Did I already mention how beautiful this park is? Nobody has made this shot before. Little boat ride in the front, B&M in the back. Isn't she pretty? It is time for the fountain show. And there is fire! Fire is always a bonus. Let's have a look at the park during night. Rutschebanen is even better at sunset. Who doesn't love some gorgeous B&M curves? I love Chinese theming. I will end this report with this amazing view. Thanks for reading. I will soon upload my report from Bakken.

Bakken today!
