Scandi 2004 Day Two
Scandi 2004 Day Two
Marlon Scott
What an incredible start! A warm welcome with free beer, an in-depth tour of Rutcshbanen, a private train during regular hours, and finally, a coaster "taxi" service!
The operators shuttled us to either high turn and let us out for photos and videos. And plus all that, a great traditional park! AAAAAHHHH! I’m beside myself!
Tivoli was as fantastic as I imagined! We spent an enchanted evening with the park ablaze with light, color, music and beautiful people. The next morning saw another track-walk on the Rutcshbanen coaster and an abbreviated but enjoyable ERS on Daemon-a short but quick paced B&M Floorless coaster. I will return to Tivoli in the future.

What a good time, the tour of the Woodie was good.
Brilliant tour behind scene and walk-about on woodie. Demon was fun, I liked the loop and twist.

Day two-best walkabout ever as we crawled all over Tivoli’s scenic railway! Another great ECC trip in the making!
Owen Rees.
Had a fantastic time yesterday. The two scenics (Bakken and Tivoli’s) were once again brilliant.
Marlon Scott
Midas: Never seen anything like this wacky park. Vild Svinet is really something else. Disk-O looks and feels like some a worthy new ride for the park. We all had so much fun, imagine what it would be like if the park was actually open.
Brad Haller & John Fidyk
Very interesting theming throughout the park. Vild Svinet was lots of fun with a great first drop. We need one of these in the states. Definitely have to return to experience the rest of the park.
Roger ’Dodger’ Clark
BonBon Land was excellent. Vild-Svint was great. Got 9 goes on it. A wicked park with a brill ride!
Bob Clark
Vild Svinet 95 degree coaster 100% entertainment.
Martha Amborn
What an afternoon at BonBon Land.! Just for the record-Lisa Scheinen and I were NOT trying to enhance our female anatomy while posing as bow-of-ship figureheads for the group photo.
Owen Rees
Fun Fun Fun!!! The Made Albatros was Just enjoyable, Wild boar, stopped half way up for a few minutes, but it then up slowly.
Richard Foster
Fantastic afternoon at the maddest park. Its incomparable and Vild Svinet has been speeded up - even better! Everyone friendly and happy. A different experience to the park being fully open, and well worth it.
Stuart Milton
Gatecrashers by name gatecrashers by nature! Many would think a closed theme park would be boring, you couldn’t be more wrong. Vild Svinet is better than ever, it has been sped up this year and sure is a treat. Oakwood have made a great choice! Scandinavian hospitality is the best! We had food, drink and ice cream, BonBon Land know how to look after their guests.
Richard Bannister
Another opportunity to walk around the track of a coaster. This is so much fun; I wish parks in other countries would allow you to do the same thing. Daemonen is a fantastic coaster; one of the best B&Ms I’ve been on. Pity we didn’t get to ride the original Zierer Tivoli but you can’t have everything.
As for BonBon-Land, Vild-Svinet is simply fantastic. I managed a total of twenty circuits, a lot of which were made with camera in hand (taped securely by the helpful ride operators!). Check my web page for the photos!

Day 2 Tivoli / a park of outstanding beauty. Hospitality was amazing. Daemon short and very sweet baby B&M. The site of the whole club swarming all over the Rutschebanen is a very great memory.
BonBon Land is open just for us and is something you don’t normally get. Having a coaster and a brand new just installed Disk O all to ourselves was a very good afternoon. The club park take over was also a very very fun way to spend the afternoon. A park everyone must visit.
John Fidyk Brad Haller
Another beautiful day at Tivoli. Walked the track of Rollercoaster. Great ERS on Daemonen. Must ride Dragon, one of the most intense flat rides we’ve been on.
Phil Arris
Tivoli is probably the most stunning park I have been to yet, with a superb atmosphere and unique rides. Demon fits the park ever so well, probably in the nicest setting yet.
Chris Bailey
Tivoli is one class park. Nice mix of scenery and some fantastic rides. Demon met my expectations and the exclusive time on it was brilliant.
David Cornell
It was great to visit Tivoli again. That B&M coaster twisting through the gardens was beautiful. Much thanks to the Tivoli team for letting us walk the track of Ruchtenbane.
Paul McGilly
Tivoli . Fantastically beautiful old park, especially at night. The gardens are wonderfully light. This morning we walked almost a complete circuit of the Scenic before the part opened. Amazing to walk the track of a coaster.
Bonbon. A visit to a closed park! The 95degree coaster is insane, wonderfully insane.
Steve Honeyman.
Brilliant so far. Danish hospitality is just amazing. Enough free beer and food to feed an army. Coasters so far have been amazing and the parks are ’unique’ to say the least.
Bart Van Goethem
Loved the drop of their looping coaster Vild Svinet. A real boneshaker! Those Danes are so friendly, free entrance, free food!! And great sunny, hot weather.
Majkel van Eekeren
The spacious layout of Vild Svinet really fits the ride (Gerstlauer - vertical lift/drop). A ride on the rapids, Baever Rafting, would perfectly fit today’s weather.... bur unfortunately it was closed; looked great though!
David & Susan Ellis
Having a terrific time so far. Weather has been warm and sunny. The park hospitality has been second to none. Highlights so far include walking all over the two Rutschebanen scenic railways at Bakken and Tivoli, the mini ERS on Daemonen and taking over a closed BonBon Land. Looking forward to the rest of the trip. Hello to all friends and family back home.
Jean-Marc Toussaint
Tivoli is a gem, Bakken is great traditional fun, Bonbon is just... mad! Thanks to those parks for their extra nice hospitality.
Patrick Flumet
Danish people are so friendly!.... The Vild Svinet is the best surprise at the moment. I can’t wait any longer to try Balder!!!!!!
B. Derek Shaw
Tivoli continues to exude class. Class act, class people, class attractions, the demon is short and sweet, and to the point. The three inversions are right on top of each other and provide an intense and exciting ride. Can’t wait get back to Tivoli again.
BonBon Land, had fun again at this a quirky little park, that continues to be a fun place to visit. Vild-Svinet was running even faster than last time. Albatross (Zamerla Disk O) although not a coaster provided lots of fun. Thanks for all your hospitality BonBon Land.
Lisa Scheinin
Another terrific day at two great Danish parks. Magical Tivoli and whimsical BonBon Land. As I have finally recovered from the jetlag -the excessive drinking can start.
Phil Coates
Fantastic new ride at Tivoli - it was my 500th coaster. BonBon Land as weird and wonderful As ever
Linz and Darren hoy
Hospitality in the parks has been second to none, and the thrill of walking around a closed park today makes it one of the highlights of the trip so far.
Jeff and Leslie Graham
Bakken went over the top with hospitality. My favourite moment there was when they gave us the unusual benefit of allowing us to climb off the train after it was stopped at the two highest points.
The special benefit at Tivoli was getting to walk the Rutchesbanen and go under the structure, which is more thrilling to me than any ride time can be.
BonBon Land coaster is a hoot and a half. The vertical lift and drop made me laugh every time.
Bob Clark
Wonderful wonderful Tivoli - wonderful wonderful hospitality.
Roger ’Dodger’ Clark
Saturday WELL COOL Bakken was brill. Tivoli was awesome man. The Demon was wicked.
Sunday Tivoli was brill again 6 goes on Demon. The Rusterbame was excellent especially on the back. They had a wicked skull!!
Martin Valt
Great to be back in tropical Denmark. Fantastic hospitality - as usual - at Tivoli and Bakken. Tivoli now even closer to being the perfect amusement park with the addition of a shiny new B&M.
Cynthia Burkee
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeey!
Dave Hall
These Scandinavian parks know three things. Hospitality, Spin’N’Spews and how to employ cute people (who smile - Tussauds people take note please.)
Bonnie Ooley
As the "newby" on the tour I had a blast - every park got better and the one I will remember most is Tivoli and my first inversion on a coaster.
John Coffield
Demon is as smooth as glass and very quick and sadly way to short, but a brilliant ride nonetheless. Tivoli is most delightful at night with all the tiny lights, Most Excellent!!
Robert-Paul van Hardeveld
It is a shame that Daemonen is so short, because else it would be the best coaster out there in his class. As three years earlier the Danish parks are still as friendly. Hope the rest of the trip will be just as good.
Martin Valt
Never before was so good a time had in a closed park!!!!!!
Margaret and Graeme Drinkwater
The two rides that were open were great, and the rest of the park was fun too, even the stuff that wasn’t open! The 97 degree drop really felt like it, and the theming of the park was fantastically random! The new disko ride was a good laugh and interestingly different, and we had fun with a tour of the closed parts of the park.
James Read
Bonbon was fantastic. Vild Svinet was totally insane and the hospitality of the park was second to none - the day was topped off with a relaxing walk around the rest of the park. My lesson for today - The Danish have a very warped sense of humour J
Phil Ariss
What a perfect family park, attractions to suit everybody. Vild Svinet was incredible, and understandably the park is very proud of it. The parks recently installed Disk O was an interesting and fun ride. A special mention has to go to the hospitality of the park, who offered free drinks and food. Onto Legoland =)
Jeppe Nygaard
We had a great day today at BB-land. Vild Svinet is a great coaster, and I think it running better this year. Their new ride is looking great and very funny. I am very proud of what the parks have done for us so far, it’s been fantastic, and the weather has been warm and sunny. Everybody I have been talking to is happy, so I am happy to. J Now on to the hotel at Vejle and then Legoland for tomorrow.
John Coffield
Yet another incredible experience at BobBon Land. The design of this park is out of this world, so unique it defines explanation. The 95 degree drop on the coaster left my heart in my month, I had to ride it again 5 times to get everything back in place. Bravo!!!!
Bonnie(Bon-Bon) Ooley
Well,It was really nice of you all to visit my namesake park on my first tour! I am feeling pretty salty now that I have done a vertical AND an inversion is less than twenty four hours! Really I am having a blast with all of you! What’s next??
Dave Hall
Anybody who hasn’t been should plan to go to Bon-Bon! It has unique character, from the innuendo-packed theming to the 97o drop to the rocking cow. Hospitality, Spin’N’Spews and cute staff too of course! They’re also the only park I’m sure to go to find a roll of duct tape and offer to strap our cameras to our hands in order to get on-ride footage.
