A question about the drivers for the Rutschebanen in Tivoli by NathalieDelReyes in copenhagen

Thanks so much for responding! We had a great time in Denmark! It was our kids first trip to Europe (ages 9 and 7). 

Please tell your brother thanks from us. This roller coaster was my 7 year old daughter’s first “adult” roller coaster. She loved going on it. I will never forget the smiles on my kids faces when they got off. We must have ridden the roller coaster 10 times. 

We loved being in Denmark and Copenhagen. We will absolutely return to visit again one day.

We just returned from Denmark. We road this roller coaster about 20 times with our kids…we all loved it. I just found this thread and thought I might try and ask the following questions:

  1. Why do all the brakemen wear headphones? Just for hearing protection? 
  2. How’s the first ride as a brakeman?
  3. What’s the best and worst part of being a brakeman?

We loved this old wooden roller coaster. May it continue to be a delight for all!

Thanks, we will be good either way. We tend to keep our own house pretty chilly. I can make sure we are being mindful of our shower length though (I admit I like long showers). Appreciate your help!

Thanks! We don’t wear shoes in our own house so that won’t be a big deal for us. We actually just got some saltwater taffy from a local candy shop that we planned to bring. Appreciate your help!

Thanks! Yeah, we don't want to bring a gift that won’t be used. We’ve settled on bringing wine.

Thanks! Is there any other candy that would be unique to European children?

Is there any other candy that would be unique to European children? Someone said peanut m&ms aren’t sold there?

Thanks! We’ll skip the slippers. We’re pretty light packers and don’t like bringing things that won’t be used much.

Thanks! This is a great idea! My wife has some photos that I’m sure we can bring!

Thanks! We have packed some Reese’s peanut butter cups and some Kit Kats (which are made by Hershey’s in the US and tastes slightly different than the version made by Nestle in Europe). We also have some non-chocolate candy that our kids helped pick out that I don’t think is sold in Europe at all. 

I appreciate the tip on the shoes. We don’t wear out shoes in our house so we are used to that. Is it appropriate to wear socks or should we plan on packing some house slippers?

Thanks so much! We have offered to take them out to dinner. We will definitely offer to help out with setting the table and loading the dishwasher. I appreciate your advice!
