LISEBERG Sweden
Park News - (2/11/10) Liseberg is now the first park in Sweden to use a Quick Pass virtual queue system. Apparently if you reserve in advance, there are some advanced time slots you can also pre-book for certain attractions. Currently five attractions are available in the system: Balder, Lisebergbanan, Kanonen, FlumeRide and Kallerado. Read more details over at Amusement Today.
2012 - Gothenburgwheel - Rumor - (12/27/11) Liseberg has confirmed on their Facebook page that the Gothenburg Wheel will be added to the park next season. They’ve posted a rendering of what it should look like in it’s new home, not far from the Atmosfear tower ride. (10/3/11) The proposal to bring the Gothenburgwheel to Liseberg may not take place until 2013 according to one source. No word on what else may replace it for 2012 just yet. (11/4/10) A Screamscape reader had an interesting story to tell about what’s being planned for Liseberg in 2012. According to the story, it will already be an attraction the locals are familiar with… The Gothenburgwheel, a 60 meter tall giant wheel installed this year in the town of Gothenburg. Apparently Liseberg’s staff are the ones taking care of the wheel already, and after a two year run in the town, the wheel will be moved into the Liseberg theme park for the 2012 season. The wheel may likely come in to replace the park’s existing wheel, already in place at a high point in the park, which will give the new taller wheel a much greater view of the surrounding area. You can see the wheel in action in the video embedded below.
