Copenhagen Day 2: Tivoli

Wednesday morning, we got up, ate breakfast and then headed to Tivoli. It opened at 11 am which worked out well for our still jet-lagged sleep schedule. We had a fun day with lots of rides.

Our first ride was the Mine which is a ride on water where you shot at different targets.

Megan and U back, Me and Matthew front. We went down a little hill towards a waterfall for the picture which is why Me and Matthew ducked. However, the waterfall stopped as the ride vehicle went under it.

Next up was the Roller Coaster which was one of everyone's favorite rides (kids went on it 6 times each and parents went on it 5 times each). It opened in 1914 and is the oldest operating roller coaster in Europe (3rd oldest in the world). There is a nice wood burning smell from the manual braking.

We went on the Ferris Wheel and then the Star Flyer. We ended up waiting a very long time for that one due to issues with the ride. It is 80 m high and there are nice views over the park and Copenhagen. We later learned that the ride was operating at a slower speed than normal due to whatever issues it was having. Me enjoyed the slower speed as it was easier to take in the views.

Megan and U on the Milky Way Express. The ride photos were not working on this ride which is why there is no overlay. We all did go on the ride together which is pretty fast and goes around the track three times.

After eating lunch, we split up with Me and Megan going on the Astronomer (Dumbo-like ride) followed by the Roller Coaster.

Megan on the Galley Ships. Me and Megan rode on it once together and then Megan rode it by herself. It goes up and down very quickly.

U and Matthew went on the Aquila which they both liked. Then they went on Tik Tak where they spun all over the place and even went upside down once.

We all went on the Milky Way Express with U and Megan again lucking out on getting a picture.

U, Megan and Matthew went on the Music Carousel which is a two story carousel. Strangely, the horses do not go up and down even though they could.

Next up: Vintage Cars. (We all rode them but for some reason Matthew's picture did not show up.)

Then we rode The Flying Trunk which tells the fairytales of Hans Christian Andersen.

We then went on Dragon Boats which are cool as you can free drive them around the lake.

Ducks!

Megan and Me went on Camel Trail (a short roller coaster that you go around twice) and then the Classic Carousel. Megan is on the camel that we both rode.

U and Matthew on Golden Tower, which is a freefall from 63 m! They enjoyed it.

U, Megan and Matthew in line for the Monsoon. Fitting that it was raining at the time. (It rained off and on all afternoon. Sure glad we had our rain jackets!)

We strolled through the gardens on our way to get dinner.

Pretty flowers!

Fun birdhouses!

Dinnertime! Me got some yummy ramen and U enjoyed his bao and spring rolls. We also got yummy lemonade (ginger plus lime and passion plus mint).

Matthew enjoyed his pizza.

After dinner, we all went on the Roller Coaster twice.

U and Megan went on the Milky Way Express which did not give them a picture this time. We all went in the Fun House which had moving stairs, spinning floors and slides. It was fun to run around for a bit.
