Rutschebanen

The Rutschebanen wooden roller coaster reaches high speeds along its track while an operator manually controls the braking system throughout the journey.

Built in 1914 by architect Walther Queenland, this roller coaster stands as one of the oldest functioning wooden coasters in continuous operation worldwide.

The roller coaster represents early 20th-century engineering methods and has remained a central attraction for multiple generations of Danish families.

Visitors need to measure at least 120 centimeters in height to ride alone, while children under this height require accompaniment by someone over 14 years.

Each car includes a brake operator who regulates the speed during descents, making every journey a personalized experience for the passengers aboard.
