Rutschebanen / The Roller Coaster

About This Place

Rutschebanen (The Roller Coaster) is one of the oldest and most beloved attractions at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark. Built in 1914, this classic wooden roller coaster is one of the few remaining roller coasters in the world still steered by hand — each car has a brakeman who controls the speed manually throughout the ride. It is a cherished piece of Danish heritage and a gentle, family-friendly thrill that has delighted generations of visitors to Tivoli.
