The Worlds Best Theme Parks - Tivoli Gardens

Opening its gates in 1843, Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark is the second oldest theme park in the world, and it still keeps some of the worlds oldest functioning roller coasters. Among the more modern attractions, is the harrowing Daemon roller coaster which features an Immelmann loop, a regular loop, and a hair-rising Zero-G roll. Managing a fine balance between extreme, modern thrill rides and classic, nostalgic attractions, Tivoli Gardens has succeeded in remaining among the top three most visited theme parks in Europe for more than a century and a half.

"Tivoli is one of the oldest amusement parks of the world and the park consequently exudes tradition and history. However, innovation blossoms everywhere like the floral splendour of the garden. Tivoli is always in progress and thus the garden is used as much by local Copenhageners as by tourists. The fairytale garden is to this day a vibrant meeting place, where young concert goers, families with children, business men lunching and elderly couples strolling all gather in the picturesque, elegant and atmospheric garden."
