Well the model name for Lisebergbanan is "Bavarian Mountain Railroad" (according to: http://schwarzkopf.coaster.net/achterbahnen-es-GF.htm) so not a strict Mine Train coaster, but then again, in what way does the ride differ to other mine train coasters apart from the theming?

The ride itself is the same, but the cars by the walkway were removed, due to the DiVertical construction, stupid if you ask me, but thats how it is...
