Tivoli amusement park opens with coronavirus precautions in place

Tivoli amusement park in Copenhage

The Tivoli amusement park in Copenhagen has opened up its doors after two and a half months of keeping closed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

In order to satisfy Denmark's social distancing requirements, the famous landmark had to come up with many creative solutions and innovations to help guests keep a distance.

Teddy bears on every other seat on one of the world's oldest roller-coasters ensure distance between the thrill-seekers, Tivoli employees wear specially decorated plastic shields and Tivoli has also developed an amusement park entry app, in order to ensure there are no queues or visitor hot spots.

In the app, you simply choose which ride you would like to try, how many you are and then the app tells you when it is time to make your way to one of Tivolui's 32 rides where you scan the phone to gain entry.

The app also allows you to order food for pickup in the many stalls.

Tivoli normally welcomes over 5 million visitors a year, but due to the coronavirus closure and limited capacity, visitor numbers this year are expected to be historically low.
