A short visit to Bakken

The next day after our visit to Tivoli Gardens, Michael and I headed towards Klampenborg to visit the oldest amusement park in the world: Bakken. It was just a short visit, as Michael just had a few rides on his bucket list and was not particulary keen of a visit to this park when he could have spend the morning with his new love Vertigo in the centre of Copenhagen. Nevertheless, both of us got a Turband for unlimited rides.

Since the crowd was manageable, we could do everything without queueing, so that I could manage a lot of re-rides on some of my favorites, as well as give some attractions a second try. Although I have sworn never to ride Tornado again, I ended up joining the queue in order to give Michael a favor. At the end, we didn’t spun that much, so that the insanely wild ride was still manageable. It was basically just fine, even though I still find the layout with all its steep curves a bit too borderline. Yet, if you are prepared for them, it is just fine or if you are Nicolas Mayer (caruso at onride.de) and you like this kind of stuff.

Closing Words

After a few rides on the other roller coasters of the park, especially on the old mighty Rutschebanen – which just ran great –, and a visit to the great Hurlumhej fun house, we headed for something to drink. As the prices at Bakken are overall a bit lower than in Copenhagen, you can have some good old Tuborg Classic for a reasonable price. Also if you want something to eat, Bakken is your place to be. On our way back, we stopped in one of the restaurants, where we had a great meal before heading back to Copenhagen in order to catch the coach back to Hamburg. It was a very nice weekend, although I don’t recommend in using the bus, when it doesn’t head for the ferry. It was a six hour long trip to hell and back.

Copenhagen (2015)

A good friend once told me that Copenhagen was strange after he had spent a short holiday in the city; a thesis that I hadn’t really questioned, because no visit was supposed to happen that quickly. In fact, the city already showed itself to be extremely fond of bicycles at the first sighting, because I had never seen so many bikes in one pile before. They are even parked on two levels and that actually everywhere where there is still some space.

After having spent the day before only near the main station, i.e. in the Tivoli and in the hotel, I went on a three-hour city tour in the morning. The late afternoon, however, was reserved for a short trip to Klampenborg to visit the world’s oldest theme park.

Copenhagen is a really stylish city, but there are many construction sites due to the new underground line. The pictures were taken on the way from the town hall over Christiansborg Castle, the beautiful Nyhavn to Amalienborg Castle. From there it is only 15 minutes to the Little Mermaid. With only 22°C, but felt 35° not at all unexhausting.

Theme Park:	Bakken (since 1583)

Address:	Dyrehavevej 62
	2930 Klampenborg
	https://www.bakken.dk

Operated by:	Various showmen

Bakken in Klampenborg, near the Danish capital Copenhagen, is an amusement park run by several showmen. The park was founded in 1583 and is therefore considered the oldest amusement park in the world. In Bakken, visitors can find a variety of restaurants, gambling houses and rides, which create a very diverse and colourful atmosphere. The choice of rides is very family-friendly.

Fun Fact #1: The Rutschebanen roller coaster has been state-owned and operated by the City of Copenhagen since 1952.

Fun Fact #2: The roller coaster Tornado is one of the most intense roller coasters in Europe. Since there is a height restriction in Bakken and the potential energy would not have been enough to guide the cars until the end of the ride, they built a very interesting lift which accelerates the cars to 40 km/h after the top.
