I still don't have a new camera yet, so I have to apologize for the quality of the photos.
My day was awesome, evern though it could have been better. I haven’t been sleeping well the last few days, with only 3 hours of sleep the night before Liseberg (I was excited!) so I had a huge headache all day. Thanks to lisebergs guestservice for giving me 3 pills during the day, so it was kept in controll, but it made me a bit sick sometimes, and I didn’t ride as many rides as I would have liked to.
No biggie really, but since I have sold my car a visit by train to Liseberg now cost us around 300 dollars, so obviously not the way you want to be feeling.
I got 3 rides on Helix. We ran when the park opened and got front row, a few hours later we quend 1.5h for the back row, and we saved the express pass to right before we were leaving to get an all warmed up ride in the front. At that point the ride had a 2h queen.
Now onto the photos!
Today were in one of Sweden's nicest town, Göteborg!
When walking from the central train station, this is the first view you get, and it's a pretty nice one
Entrance!
What a lovely sight!
Here it is with an even nicer background
Both of these rides are lovely
Main street
Again
X usually marks the idiot, don't see how this is an exception..
The stage area was dead all day
Everybody is welcomed at Liseberg!
Gothia Towers is getting a third building
Nice, don't you think?
Can you spot it?
The entrance to two of the parks best rides
Atmosfear really is a great drop tower, even if it breaks a bit early
But let's look at some other things before we look at the mountain rides
This is a nice ride for the kids, the bridge is a small copy of the big one over the river that runs through Göteborg
And the boats are copy's of the bigger ones that goes to Denmark from Göteborg
Uppskjutet was the first Space Shot installed in Europe in 1996. It was a "gift" (more like compensation) from Vekoma for the one year delayed opening of Hang Over, the worlds first Invertigo ride, so that Liseberg would still have a new for 96 ride.
Hanghai is a great family ride, I don't know why people hate so much on the Disco rides.
Wheee
Elephants are nice for the small ones
Here's Sagoslottet, the parks fairytale ride for families
Everywhere you look the park is nice
Or what do you think?
The park was REALLY packed this Saturday
Never seen it so busy this time of year earlier, but the weather was also really nice
Chairswing
People
Tyrolen
HELIX
Take the top hat!
Jukebox is a really lame ride built by Gerstlauer that replaced the original ride in 2012
People
Top hat!
Kanonen is a great little ride, even though is could see it leave for something new
Loop de loop!
It's easy to think that Balder have fallen into the shadows with Helix entrance but it's still one of the best rides in northern Europe!
Can you see the Discovery?
This is a really nice touch
View to the other way
Kanonen through the trees
Compactness
Airtime!
Balder through the trees
The Discovery swinging high
Rapids ride
It dosen't look like you are in the middle of the city, does it?
Spökhotell Gasten is a really awesome haunted walk through
It cost 5 dollars, but it's worth it if you are visiting
Liseberg harbor
Be careful of these restaurants in the harbor area if you are visiting, they look nice and a have a good reputation, but the food is overpriced crap, and the service leaves a lot to be desired.
The park is nice and green all over
Dance floor!
View toward the mountain from the harbor area
River area looking good
This area looks so much better now compared to before 2012
River
These Zierer towers are awesomely evil
Everybody loves them!
The car ride is also such an improvement from the earlier one
It runs through a mechanics shop
Looks great
Of course it's Volvo!
Helix and the Screamin Swing are awesome together. We had a magical ride on the swing where we could look down on a train running on Lisebergsbanan, and then swung to the other side and looked up on a train on Helix passing through the hat and then the airtime hill
Nice looking area
I see you Helix and Uppswinget!
One of the bridges over the river
The classic carousel
Balder ejecting some riders, who luckily have restraints on their legs
Let's look at Kaninlandet
The spinning cups
This whole new area is such a great improvement to the park, and it looks much better than last tear now that the foliage is starting to grow in
The rabbit's playground
Magic Bikes from Zamperla
More playground
Looks good, don't you think?
Same here
Awesome little Zamperla ride for the smallest
The little credit is actually very decent
It looks great as well
The train is awesome looking!
This ride is also great!
Mini bumper cars
Did I say it was crowded today?
This ride is ugly, but seems to deliver an awesome ride for the kids
Another angle of the area
And one more
These are great rides for the entire family
This weird ride also looks really good
The vehicles for this ride is just so awesome
Rabalder looking good
Great family coaster, as most Zierer's are
The family boat ride is lurking in the trees
Helix and Uppswinget
