Ripley's buys four Danish attractions
Ripley Entertainment has bought the franchised businesses of Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium and the Guinness World Records Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark.
It has also bought two other Copenhagen-based attractions - The Mystic Exploratorie and Hans Christian Andersen's Wonderful World. All four attractions are located in the city centre, with Ripley's and Hans Christian Andersen being located across from Town Hall Square, and Guinness and the Exploratorie situated on The Walking Street, near Kings Square.
The Ripley's Believe It or Not! first opened in 1992 and the Guinness opened in 1994. The Exploratorie and the Wonderful World are both interactive family attractions created by the former owners of the four businesses. Ripley also owned and operated the Louis Tussaud's Wax Museum in Copenhagen for 33 years before closing it in late 2007.
The acquisition of the four sites follows the company's acquisition in January this year of the Believe It or Not! Odditoriums in Branson, Mo. and Orlando, Fla., both in the US. Pic: At Ripley's Believe It or Not! in Branson, Missouri, US
