Tivoli Gardens 🎢

Tivoli Gardens is the second oldest amusement park in the world, and one of the top tourist destinations in Copenhagen. I had a great time exploring this park with three other La Roche students tonight. We didn't enter the park until 10pm, so we hurried to ride the best rides before the park closed at midnight. The lights in the park were just beautiful, as you can see from the pictures below:

First, we rode the spinning swings for a fabulous nighttime view of the city. You can see the swings in the center of this picture...it is the tall spire with the blue spokes (which is how high the swings are). 

Then, we rode some roller coasters. We did three consecutive "laps" on one of the rides, since there were no lines of people waiting to get on. My personal favorite was "The Roller Coaster" which went into and out of a mountain, with lots of turns and dips, and some of it in the total dark...it may have even been better than the Seven Dwarves Mine Train at Disney! 

The three La Roche students braved the newest roller coaster, with lots of upside down spins. I had just as much fun watching the laser light show on the lake. 

We were disappointed when the rides started to close at 11:30...we wanted to ride all night long! There was a nice fireworks display before midnight to "top off" another exciting day in Copenhagen.

Tomorrow, we are headed to the Danish Countryside.
