Tivoli Comes To Brooklyn?

This could be a really nice compromise:

A world-famous Danish amusement park that inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland is considering expanding operations to Coney Island, officials said. Robert Lieber, president of the city's Economic Development Corp., flew to Copenhagen last week with other top agency officials to meet with representatives from Tivoli Gardens

I've been to the original Tivoli Gardens and it strikes me that this could be an excellent fit. I have a lifelong DisneyWorld obsession, but I've always felt like a pure Disneyfication of Coney Island would be a disaster. On the other hand, there's a lot of today's Coney Island that's just kind of lame -- and I say that as someone who takes his kids there at least ten times a year. What you want is a mix of the freak show present and the the original turn-of-the-century excitement, without it feeling too stale and mall-like. I could easily see a Tivoli park hitting that sweet spot, assuming they don't take over the entire boardwalk.

Well Tivoli in copenhagen isn't exactly disney like. I think it's important to remember that Walt was "only" inspired by Tivoli :-)

Huh, interesting. I've also visited Tivoli on a 2 day layover in Denmark on the way to Switzerland. I remember spending time playing slots with my mom, and I remember a poster advertising the upcoming appearance of the pianist/comedian Victor Borges. It was a great, dare a say, magical time.

I've also spent time at Coney Island when I lived in New York City. Of course, I spent much of that time, well, wasted, but in my sober moments I'll admit to wondering what it would be like if I grew up in the city and looked forward to visiting and having fun there on the long humid summers off from school....

But anyway, they were distinctly different experiences. Tivoli struck me as not quite as wackily artificial as, say, Disneyland, but I have to wonder if the turn-of-the-century appeal and, dare I say it, civility of the place has just as much to do with the patrons of the place - and the society where they come from - as it does to do with good design.
