Tivoli is 165-year-old amusement park that once inspired Walt Disney and now offers a number of modern attractions. One of them is “The Demon,” a roller coaster designed for thrill seekers even if the park still maintains its traditional style and aura.

CNN Travel reports some details.

Tivoli, Copenhagen’s downtown landmark, blends tradition and modernity with old-style Ferris wheels and gravity-defying rides, family restaurants and gourmet eateries. Neon lights are banned here and plastic materials are avoided — beer cups aside — to preserve the feel of an old-style amusement park.

“We want to maintain tradition and quality,” Tivoli manager Lars Liebst said.

The park is a perfect place to spend time with family and friends. However, it’s more popular among young visitors.

The Danish capital has since grown around the green oasis where families and friends stroll, and lovers cuddle up on benches amid oaks, birches and Japanese cherry trees.

“It’s so beautiful, it’s cozy,” said Elin Peitersen, a 74-year-old retired secretary. “You can take your family along or sit on a bench, like I do, and enjoy others having a good time.”

The park is charming but it’s the thrill rides Tivoli is famous for, especially among the throngs of young visitors.

This year, Tivoli plans to reopened a Moorish-style building of 1909 which has been completely renovated.
