As long as it stays open for 6 more weeks so I can get at least one go on it!
I am sure it will. It will probably stay at least this entire season, if not more. The article quotes Liseberg's technical head saying "It has served it's useful life and although we have not made the final decision, I can say that we are discussing it's future". Flumeride is probably the most well known ride in the park and whenever it will close I am sure it will have a big celebration.
When asked if Flumeride cant just be renovated the technical chief says: "It won't pay off. The foundations would have to be fundamentally redone. So we will have to buy a new attraction".
Then they continue talking about how Flumeride together with Lisebergsbanan and Kållerado are the park's highest capacity attractions and how it will be problematic taking any of them offline for a longer time.
The Liseberg CEO finishes off saying that Flumeride was one of Liseberg's best investments ever. It cost 7 million SEK to build in 1973.
