Tivoli Gardens:
=========================================
Tivoli (Copenhagen)
Tivoli, also known as Tivoli Gardens, is an amusement park and pleasure garden in Copenhagen, Denmark. The park opened on 15 August 1843 and is the second-oldest operating amusement park in the world, after Dyrehavsbakken in nearby Klampenborg, also in Denmark.
With 4.6 million visitors in 2017, Tivoli is the second-most popular seasonal amusement park in the world after Europa-Park. Tivoli is the most-visited theme park in Scandinavia, and the fifth-most visited theme park in Europe, behind Disneyland Park, Europa-Park, Walt Disney Studios Park and Efteling. It is located directly in downtown Copenhagen, next to the Central rail station for the city.
The amusement park was first called Tivoli & Vauxhall; Tivoli alluding to the Jardin de Tivoli in Paris (which in its turn had been named after Tivoli near Rome, Italy), and Vauxhall alluding to Vauxhall Gardens in London. It is mentioned in various books, such as Number the Stars by Lois Lowry, and was also used prominently in the 1961 science fiction film Reptilicus.
Tivoli's founder, Georg Carstensen (b. 1812 – d. 1857), obtained a five-year charter to create Tivoli by telling King Christian VIII that when the people are amusing themselves, they do not think about politics. The monarch granted Carstensen use of roughly 15 acres (61,000 m²) of the fortified glacis outside Vesterport (the West Gate) for an annual rent. Until the 1850s Tivoli was outside the city, accessible from the city only through the Vesterport.
From its beginning Tivoli included a variety of attractions: buildings in the exotic style of an imaginary Orient: a theatre, band stands, restaurants and cafés, flower gardens, and mechanical amusement rides such as a merry-go-round and a primitive scenic railway. After dark, colored lamps illuminated the gardens. On certain evenings, specially designed fireworks could be seen reflected in Tivoli's lake, a remnant of the moat surrounding the city fortifications.
Composer Hans Christian Lumbye (b. 1810 – d. 1874) was Tivoli's musical director from 1843 to 1872. Lumbye was inspired by Viennese waltz composers such as the Strauss family (Johann Strauss I and his sons), and became known as the Strauss of the North. Many of his compositions are specifically inspired by the gardens, including Salute to the Ticket Holders of Tivoli, Carnival Joys and A Festive Night at Tivoli. The Tivoli Symphony Orchestra still performs many of his works.
In 1874, a Chinese-style Pantomimeteatret (pantomime theatre) took the place of an older smaller theatre. The audience stands in the open, the stage being inside the building. The theatre's curtain is a mechanical peacock's tail. From the very beginning, the theatre was the home of Italian pantomimes, introduced in Denmark by the Italian Giuseppe Casorti. This tradition, dependent on the Italian Commedia dell'Arte, has been kept alive; it portrays the characters Cassander (the old father), Columbine (his beautiful daughter), Harlequin (her lover), and, especially popular with the youngest spectators, the stupid servant Pierrot. The absence of spoken dialogue is an advantage, for Tivoli is now an international tourist attraction.
In the late 19th and early 20th century, Tivoli also hosted human exhibitions.
In 1943, Nazi sympathisers burnt many of Tivoli's buildings, including the concert hall, to the ground. Temporary buildings were constructed in their place and the park was back in operation after a few weeks.
Tivoli is always evolving without abandoning its original charm or traditions. Georg Carstensen said in 1844: Tivoli will never, so to speak, be finished, a sentiment echoed just over a century later when Walt Disney said of his own Tivoli-inspired theme park, Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.
In Icelandic, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish, the word tivoli has become synonymous with any amusement park.

TIVOLI GARDENS THEME PARK: WALT'S INSPIRATION FOR DISNEYLAND - Copenhagen, Denmark - LDE S2 E4
When planning my second big European trip, I just knew Copenhagen had to be on the itinerary. Not only is it ranked as one of the happiest cities to live, but it’s also home to something of a mecca for hardcore Disney fans: Tivoli Gardens. In fact, due to the seasonal nature of the park, I actually moved the entire trip forward two weeks once I learned it would be closed on my original travel dates!
Tivoli Gardens was founded in 1843 by Georg Carstensen, who was able to get a charter for the park by telling King Christian VIII, “When the people are amusing themselves, they do not think about politics.” In attendance on its opening day was none other than Danish fairytale author Hans Christian Andersen, who Tivoli honored 150 years later with a dark ride based on his stories (Den Flyvende Kuffert, aka The Flying Trunk). Tivoli is the second oldest theme park in the world, followed only by Dryehavsbakken, which is also in Denmark. It takes up 20 acres smack dab in the heart of the city, and very much feels like an oasis of serenity in the midst of Copenhagen’s hustle and bustle, much like Disneyland does in Anaheim.
Unlike most “Walt Disney visited this place and copied it for Disneyland” stories I’ve heard, Walt’s visit to Tivoli Gardens in 1951 was actually well-documented. It seems that Walt was incredibly impressed by how clean and organized the park was compared to the seedier carnival-style amusement parks he was used to back in the US. Walt’s good friend, famed radio and TV personality Art Linkletter, recalled him furiously scribbling notes the whole time, about everything from the gardens to the food to the chairs they were sitting in. When Linkletter asked Walt what he was doing, he said, “I’m just making notes about something that I’ve always dreamed of, a great, great playground for the children and families of America.”
And when Disneyland opened four years later in 1955, it definitely bore a strong resemblance to Tivoli, from the perfectly manicured landscaping, to the extensive use of waterways and intricate lighting, to the well-themed “faraway land” environments. It even has a Matterhorn bobsled coaster that on the outside looks very much like Tivoli’s The Mountain, which opened in 1914 and is one of the world’s oldest roller coasters.
Walt visited Tivoli again in 1958, and then in 1964 in the midst of the New York World’s Fair, when he was deciding which rides from the fair to bring back to Disneyland for a major overhaul of the park. It also seems like Walt took some of the philosophy of Disneyland from Georg Carstensen, who in 1844 said, “Tivoli will never, so to speak, be finished.” This mirrors one of Walt’s famous quotes from Disneyland’s opening day: “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world”. And it’s intriguing to see how Tivoli has actually managed to evolve and add things like thrill rides and weekly rock concerts to stay relevant, while still holding on to 175 years of tradition and maintaining its original charm. I’m not sure you could make that case quite as convincingly for the current state of Disneyland….

175 years TIVOLI DENMARK
Hello guys,
It’s our 3rd time seeing the parade of TIVOLI. Have fun!
Tivoli Gardens celebrates its 175th birthday
Tivoli Gardens’ 175th birthday was celebrated with the longest and biggest fireworks ever. Tivoli is the second oldest amusement park in the world, founded by Georg Carstensen in 1843. A spectacular fountain lightshow was also part of the celebrations on the historic birthday. Looking back in time, Tivoli has been an inspiration for the fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen, Walt Disney and many more.
173-year-old amusement park transforms into winter wonderland
(22 Nov 2016) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4067300
LEAD IN:
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Copenhagen - the Danish capital's Tivoli Gardens is opening its highly-anticipated annual Christmas attractions.
Founded in 1843, the amusement park undergoes a radical transformation every festive season, turning into a winter wonderland for thousands of visitors.
STORY-LINE:
Sparkling with Christmas cheer - one of the world's oldest amusement parks is back in full swing.
Every year, the Tivoli Gardens amusement park in central Copenhagen closes to the public, only to re-open as this festive-themed winter wonderland in mid-November.
The rides have been fitted with lights, Christmas trees are glowing and festive songs fill the air.
This year marks the 173-year-old park's twenty-third 'Christmas in Tivoli' season.
Ellen Dahl from the park's communications department says it's become an ever-present festive fixture for many Danish families.
It's true that any Danes have their many fixed traditions of things they need to do before Christmas, she says.
You know, we go to Aunty Anna's on the first weekend of Christmas and we go to Tivoli on the second weekend of Christmas, so special things we need to do, special places you need to go.
Last year, Tivoli welcomed around 4.7 million visitors. That makes it the most popular amusement park in all of Scandinavia.
It was the third most visited theme park in Europe last year, behind France's Disneyland Paris and Germany's Europa Park, according to the 2015 Theme Index.
According to Tivoli, Walt Disney paid several visits to the park during the 1950s, hoping to draw inspiration for Disneyland.
During Christmas in Tivoli, the amusement park hosts around 1,000 Christmas trees and 3.5 kilometres of fir garlands.
Today, visitors are dining on traditional Danish festive doughnuts, called 'apple skive', or picking up various decorations and gifts from its sprawling Christmas market.
Tivoli Gardens covers over 82,700 square metres (890,175 square feet).
The whole idea about Christmas in Tivoli is that it must look spectacular, says Dahl.
So, it's like in the summer time you have all the flowers, the coloured lights giving you the Tivoli feeling, we want to create that for Christmas.
So, we want to bring in lots of ornaments, even lots of flowers and planets, we use lots of kales and cabbages, lots of decorations, artificial snow.
Just to get that holiday feeling and just to make people snuggle up and enjoy themselves.
Tivoli opened its doors in 1843. At 173-years-old, it's one of the oldest amusement parks in the world.
It was founded by developer Georg Carstensen, who took inspiration from several parks and gardens he'd visited abroad.
Gates were opened for the first time on 15 August 1843. Among the first visitors was Denmark's most famous writer Hans Christian Andersen.
Tivoli was founded as an amusement park, modelled after a park called Tivoli in Paris and then the Vauxhall Gardens in London, which were also public pleasure grounds, explains Dahl.
So it was the concept we have today of rides and culture and scenery and restaurants is what they had originally as well.
When day turns to night, over half a million lights create this festive Christmas atmosphere.
Crowds gather to watch the Christmas tree lights being turned on - it marks the start of the Christmas season.
It's every year we have to go to the Christmas party in Tivoli, says Flemming Madsen, a visitor from the Danish city of Aarhus.
It reminds me of my Christmas when I was a little kid and now you feel the tense and the excitement in the kids.
And just seeing the light show, the lighting of the Christmas tree, it's brought happiness to my heart for sure.

Many of his compositions are specifically inspired by the gardens, including Salute to the Ticket Holders of Tivoli, Carnival Joys and A Festive Night at Tivoli. The Tivoli Symphony Orchestra still performs many of his works.
In 1943, Nazi sympathisers attempted to break the Danish people's spirit by burning many of Tivoli's buildings, including the concert hall, to the ground. Undaunted, the Danes built temporary buildings, and the park was back in operation after a few weeks.
In 1874, Chinese style Pantomimeteatret (The Pantomime Theatre) took the place of an older smaller theater. The audience stands in the open, the stage being inside the building. The theatre's curtain is a mechanical peacock's tail. From the very beginning, the Theater was the home of Italian pantomimes, introduced in Denmark by the Italian Giuseppe Casorti. This tradition, which is dependent on the Italian Commedia dell'Arte has been kept alive, including the characters Cassander (the old father), Columbine (his beautiful daughter), Harlequin (her lover), and, especially popular with the youngest spectators, the stupid servant Pierrot. The absence of spoken dialogue is an advantage, as Tivoli is now an international tourist attraction.
Tivoli is always evolving without abandoning its original charm or traditions. As Georg Carstensen said in 1844, Tivoli will never, so to speak, be finished, a sentiment echoed just over a century later when Walt Disney said of his own Tivoli-inspired theme park, Disneyland will never be finished as long as there is imagination left in the world. Walt Disney during a trip overseas with his wife Lilly visited Tivoli Gardens. Walt was so impressed with the Danish amusement park, he immediately decided Disneyland should try to emulate its happy and unbuttoned air of relaxed fun.
The park is best known for its wooden roller coaster, Rutsjebanen or as some people call it Bjerg Banen (Mountain Track), built in 1914 Malmö, Sweden. It is one of world's oldest wooden roller coasters that is still operating today. An operator controls the ride by braking down the hills so it won't gain too much speed. It is an ACE Coaster Classic.[1]
Dæmonen features an Immelmann loop, a loop, and a Zero-G roll all during the ride time of just two minutes. The old roller coaster, Slangen, was removed to have enough space for The Demon. The roller coaster is situated next to the concert hall.
The world's tallest carousel, Himmelskibet, opened in Tivoli in 2006. It is 80 meters high and is built by the Austrian company, Funtime.
In July 2006, Tivoli also played host to elvis presley as part of the Copenhagen Jazz week.
During the warmer summer months, Tivoli also features a live music series dubbed Fredagsrock (Friday Rock), which in the past has featured the Smashing Pumpkins, Sting, the Beach Boys, Pet Shop Boys and Danish groups such as TV-2, Nephew, Hanne Boel, and Thomas Helmig.

TIVOLI-GARDEN - TIVOLI COPENHAGEN 2015
Tivoli Garden is at once Tivoli own garde, a music school until several orchestras.
The 100 boys who today constitute the Tivoli Garden, is today's answer to a tradition that goes back to 1844, when the world's first youth garde was founded as the lilliputiske Militair. After Tivoli successful inauguration in 1843, decided founder, Georg Carstensen, to give themselves a Tivoli Garde birthday present to Tivoli's second season, and so it was.
Walking Around Tivoli Gardens Amusement Park in Copenhagen, Denmark
The amusement park was first called Tivoli & Vauxhall;[4] Tivoli alluding to the Jardin de Tivoli in Paris (which in its turn had been named from Tivoli near Rome, Italy),Vauxhall alluding to the Vauxhall Gardens in London. It is also mentioned in various books, like Number the Stars by Lois Lowry.
Tivoli's founder, Georg Carstensen (b. 1812 -- d. 1857), obtained a five-year charter to create Tivoli by telling King Christian VIII that when the people are amusing themselves, they do not think about politics. The monarch granted Carstensen use of roughly 15 acres (61,000 m²) of the fortified glacis outside Vesterport (the West Gate) for an annual rent. Therefore, until the 1850s, Tivoli was outside the city, accessible through Vesterport.
From the very start, Tivoli included a variety of attractions: buildings in the exotic style of an imaginary Orient: a theatre, band stands, restaurants and cafés, flower gardens, and mechanical amusement rides such as a merry-go-round and a primitive scenic railway. After dark, coloured lamps illuminated the gardens. On certain evenings, specially designed fireworks could be seen reflected in Tivoli's lake.
Composer Hans Christian Lumbye (b. 1810 -- d. 1874) was Tivoli's musical director from 1843 to 1872. Lumbye was inspired by Viennese waltz composers like the Strauss family (Johann Strauss I and his sons), and became known as the Strauss of the North. Many of his compositions are specifically inspired by the gardens, including Salute to the Ticket Holders of Tivoli, Carnival Joys and A Festive Night at Tivoli. The Tivoli Symphony Orchestra still performs many of his works.

In 1874, Chinese style Pantomimeteatret (The Pantomime Theatre) took the place of an older smaller theatre. The audience stands in the open, the stage being inside the building. The theatre's curtain is a mechanical peacock's tail. From the very beginning, the theatre was the home of Italian pantomimes, introduced in Denmark by the Italian Giuseppe Casorti. This tradition, which is dependent on the Italian Commedia dell'Arte has been kept alive, including the characters Cassander (the old father), Columbine (his beautiful daughter), Harlequin (her lover), and, especially popular with the youngest spectators, the stupid servant Pierrot. The absence of spoken dialogue is an advantage, as Tivoli is now an international tourist attraction.
In 1943, Nazi sympathisers burnt many of Tivoli's buildings, including the concert hall, to the ground. Temporary buildings were constructed in their place and the park was back in operation after a few weeks.[citation needed]
Tivoli is always evolving without abandoning its original charm or traditions. As Georg Carstensen said in 1844, Tivoli will never, so to speak, be finished, a sentiment echoed just over a century later when Walt Disney said of his own Tivoli-inspired theme park, Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world. Walt Disney during a trip overseas with his wife Lilly visited Tivoli Gardens. Walt was so impressed with the Danish amusement park, he immediately decided Disneyland should try to emulate its happy and unbuttoned air of relaxed fun.[citation needed]
