At Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, the new Hikari district glows with neon signs, lanterns and Japanese-style architecture under the Demon roller coaster.
An expert notes Denmark’s long fascination with Japan, in trade, fairy tales and aesthetics.
Visitors praise the area’s look and the fast, zero-gravity feel of the ride.
CEO Susanne Mørch Koch says Tivoli cannot grow in size, so it grows through fresh experiences.
The project blends history, art and modern thrills in the park’s centre.
