This ride opened in 1914 at Tivoli Gardens, and was the inspiration for the Matterhorn at Disneyland! It stands as one of the few side friction roller coasters left standing- and this one still has the brakeman! This is someone who rides on the coaster with you and adjusts the speed of the train as it's going through the course! It makes for an incredibly crazy ride experience!

The queen of Denmark recently celebrated 50 years reign of the country, and a part of the celebration was in Tivoli where she rode Rutschebanen as well. That's another thing that is great about having a breakman on the ride. He can slow it down so even older folk like the queen can ride it, and he can make it break less if the train is full of youth.

@theawesomegeneral8982 Год назад

I know the brakeman that operated it when the queen was in it. He called it surreal

@Happymali10 Год назад

@@theawesomegeneral8982 Most stressful ride of his career.

@papaquonis Год назад

The intensity of the ride varies a lot depending on the brakeman. Some definitely play it more safe than others. But no matter what, it's always fun.

@drdewott9154 Год назад

Man as a local this review is just great to see. But also here's a fun fact. This ride didn't even HAVE restraints until the 1990's. IIRC it was in the fall of 1990 where a teen or young adult stood up on the ride as it enterred a tunnel, got hit straight in the face and got a severe concussion as a result of it, and that being the reason why the ride even has restraints today! The ride also has some funky history. When it was built it was much milder, more like the other scenic railways still around, but when Bakken opened their Rutschebanen in 1932, Tivoli saw it as a threat, potentially stealing away their attendance, so they modified their own to have steeper drops, which is what you experience to this day and where much of the airtime comes from. Also this ride was bombed during world war 2 believe it or not. Thankfully the bombed bits were able to be rebuilt and the ride still stands unlike some more severe examples that got lost in the war like Wiener Prater's original Hochshaubahn. Also I always get out of the train on Rutschebanen before it has even stopped. Its perfectly legal and it helps with the momentum so you save energy for your legs.

I was told that the reason this coaster is still so great is because they replace the valley sections religiously and the have all the original drawings for the coaster to go off of.

@Iamthewillrose Год назад

This ride is a 12/10. My second or third time on this ride I befriended one of the brakemen and afterward I rode "1-click" in the back and front and he let those brakes go as loose as he dared. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my entire life. It's smooth, has a buttload of character, attempts to eject you from the seat and most importantly it has THEMING. I hope it never changes. Also getting out of the train while the ride is still moving always puts a smile on my face. IROC would have a stroke... Haha

@chxlaw8588 Год назад

You absolutely fly out of you seat in the very back seat on this ride. The theming, ultra-minimalistic lapbar and "classicness" makes it for me.

@sampike5423 Год назад

This coaster is one of the best theme park experiences out there. The brake men are so friendly and love putting on a show. I was there on a cold winter evening in 2019, the park was dead, I don't even remember how many rides we got cos we just kept lapping it. Insane ejector on every hill every single time. Copenhagen was a wonderful city anyway, but knowing I can ride this again makes me want to return even more!

@Dre_Oak Год назад

I remember riding this back in 2014 just how awesome that ride was! I felt shook from the pure excitement and rush of each ride I went on! At one point I saw two elderly men, well in their 70s or 80s, riding this coaster. It was a special thing to witness seeing these men riding as if they were younger riding it back then.

Great review of Rutschebanen and some good footage. We were not expecting much but wanted to ride the 3 oldest coaster in the world and experience it's charm. When we rode it we were blown by the ride experience. It is unbelievable. The airtime is crazy, the brakemen make the ride and the mountain setting and near misses are fantastic. Looking forward to seeing some more of your European adventures.

@Thibault1986 Год назад

I always found Bakken's Rutschebanen better than the one at Tivoli. At least, when Bakken still operated the ride with brakemen. It is a crying shame that they got rid of the brakemen back in 2010. However, if you still want the Rutschebanen expierence that Bakken once featured head on over to Linnanmäki in Finland. Where Vuoristorata is basically the same coaster (albeit a little bigger) but still has the brakemen! Thanks for this review! Loved it!

@rollingcoasters2311 Год назад

There’s a coaster here in England called Scenic Railway which is at Dreamland Margate. It also has a brakeman although it’s a fairly tame ride.

@drdewott9154 Год назад

Yeah most scenic railways are quite tame. Rutshcebanen was the same way WAY back in the day. But in 1932 Bakken opened theirs and in order to stay competitive, Tivoli modified their own woodie to feature steeper drops, which is what allows for the crazy airtime it has today.

@AdamSmith-gs2dv Год назад

I think it highly depends on how experienced your brakeman is. Literally seconds can make the difference between insane airtime and no airtime at all

@maxhagenauer24 Год назад

This is seriously the best or 2nd beat coaster in the country. I did not know the restraint was something you could get 1 click on and be fine. I wonder how the brake man even stays in the train so well while standing up when its crazy ejector for the riders. It's that kinda unsafe but still very safe and unique experience that you are riding a coaster over 100 years old and it gas no restraint and no upstop wheels and the operator has the best job in the entire world. This is seriously I ride I hope they never change.

@nathanmasseyRU40 Год назад

Your description of your experience and the restraints reminds me of my first big coaster riding the Racer back in the 70's as a 5-6 yo. I believe most of the wooden coaster's in the US had this type of restraint (or lack thereof) until sometime in the late 80s maybe. Looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing your trip so well.

@MattMcIrvin Год назад

It was usually a single-position lap bar ("buzz bar") where you couldn't pull it down tight even if you wanted to--it was just locked in place way above your legs. A few still have nothing but these, though most old woodies have supplemented their single-position lap bar with a seat belt by now. The first big coaster I ever rode was Mr. Twister at Elitch Gardens, and that was the old-school experience--nothing but a single-position buzz bar, and you were rattling around in there like a BB in a tin can. On that one, it was all about the laterals threatening to pitch you over the side.

@magxel3562 Год назад

Fun fact about rutschebanen, when it opened it didn’t have a restrain and smaller riders only was kept in by their parents

@CanonessEllinor 24 дня назад

One of my friends worked in Tivoli for a while and told me that while the rest of the staff rotates between different positions and attractions, the Rutschebanen brakemen only ever run Rutschebanen. They don’t run anything else, and the rest of the staff never touch Rutschebanen. They are essentially their own little subculture within the staff, completely specialized on this one ride. And they have their own table in the cafeteria.

@Galacto1 Год назад

Vuoristorata in Helsinki, Finland is a copy of Rutschebanen and it was built in 1950 and it still has the brakemen! You should check it out!

@maxhagenauer24 Год назад

1 of the things I think it's worth mentioning is that's it's insane how this is a 40 ft tall ride that goes almost 40 mph. And it runs that fast being over 100 years old. Think of even any modern coaster that has the same speed in mph as it's height in ft.

@Jacob-Simonsen Год назад

It's 60 ft...

@coasterconquistador2517 Год назад

Awesome review! This coaster looks pretty crazy. I might ride Jackrabbit in a few weeks, which I think was one of the first coasters to use upstop wheels, but now I just wanna rode this! It’s crazy that a coaster over a hundred years old has RMC level airtime!

@andykillsu Год назад

I also rode this earlier this summer and it was amazing as well. I had no idea it was a side friction with a cable lift hill. And the fact they have manual breaking, is the cherry on top. And it does give some insane air time thanks to what is a buzz bar. I couldn't believe the lack of safety measure the ride has, this would never pass in the US lol. But that is what makes it sooo good.

@natiezclement4400 Год назад

I went there in June, did more than 25 rides on it LOL. Some breakmans just. dont. break. AHAHAHAH. Near the end of the day it started to smell like burnt wood in some of the turns because they ran it so fast (mainly one breakman did), so they locked the seats behind the breakman and filled it up with water to splash it arround on turns to help the friction going without burning the whole thing LOL.

@lucasholving0607 Год назад

I tried it once last year in the summer - Never again 😨 What I believe happened to me was that everything was so unexpected, and since I'm having the disability autism, I easily get overloaded. After the jump near the end of the ride, I was shaking and having a hard time breathing calmly, etc. ❤ Luckily, I was together with lots of people who helped me that day ❤ After the ride, I got help to leave the ride and sat on a bench with a table, if I remember correctly. The staff from my residence checked up on my vitals and offered me small sips of water from the staff at Tivoli Gardens. Once we were about to leave, I bought a teddy polar bear I call Hope

@bwhugul 5 месяцев назад

If and when the concept of rider controlled roller coasters becomes reality and common, it will be possible to dip your toes into this but to stop the train and get off in a Valley if it's too much 😉. This roller coaster train would be stuck if the brake man stopped it in a Valley. But in each valley I would put linear synchronous motors or drive tires, so you could drive the train forwards and backwards until you are going fast enough to surmount the hill!

@lucasholving0607 5 месяцев назад

@bwhugul now I'm also aware of my limits and would not risk getting in and out like that again. But there is still much to be enjoyed at the park, without trying the fast coasters, so I can still have a great time there 😊👍

Probably not teaching you anything, but this ride would not have had a lap bar or seatbelts when it was made. It's a similar train to the Dreamland Margate Scenic Railway, with the brakeman, side friction, etc. The historical videos of Dreamland, and the photos of the train at the attraction shows there were no restraints whatsoever

@MattMcIrvin Год назад

The fact that a coaster with no upstop wheels can even HAVE massive ejector air boggles me. Hearing about it got me thinking a lot about the physics--how can this be? Why doesn't it fly off the track? I think it's the fact that it's an extended object, and only part of the train is experiencing the air at any given time. It could, of course, be that the surroundings, the minimal restraints and the general vibe are psychologically inflating the air.

@CoasterStudios Год назад

The way I heard it is that the airtime is actually not THAT powerful that the train doesn’t need up stops, and it only feels as insane as it is cause it has very little restraints

I really hope something is done to fix Bakken's version in the future, whether it be new trains of a different style or just returning it to its original ways with replicas of the original trains and brakemen onboard. But that one is actually owned and operated by the state's department of nature, so good luck convincing a government agency to do something about it.

It’s questionable if this ride was an influence on Disneyland’s Matterhorn. The peaks were removed in 1920 to expose more of the coaster and give an amusement park ambience to the park’s entrance. They were redesigned and reinstalled for the 2014 Season, the 100th anniversary of the ride. In this video, you can see what it looked like without the peaks: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M31X5XxHBV4.html
