Wooden Coaster, large

Wooden Coaster, small
Tivoli's Rutschebanen is a bit smaller than Valdmar Lebecks newer wooden coasters. The brakesman stands in the middle of the train, unlike in the "newer" coasters. Liseberg's old wooden coaster resembled the one in Tivoli a lot, but it wasn't excactly the same model.
Did you know, that Tivoli's rollercoaster is the second oldest operational coaster in the world? The oldest one is in USA. link
