Helix gets some well-deserved TLC.: source: instagram Liseberg AB /// Marcus

I probably only going to ride it at the press day. /// Marcus

Now has Liseberg released what the new attraction for next year is: Link to Liseberg: Mechanica

Liseberg and Mack have found some sources to the vibration and going to fix that until next summer season. /// Marcus

Some photos from the last day of summer season @ Liseberg: Balder looking good in the autumn sun: Helix too: They are already working at the new attraction: You can see the whole construction area from Kanonen, but no cameras is allowed on the ride People having fun riding Helix: Farewell fireworks for the summer season. I probably ride the new attraction for 2015 one or two times because I don't like them....... On the 16 October you will know what new attraction is. /// Marcus

@ Liseberg for the final day of the summer season. /// Marcus

Went by the park yesterday to spot the X that marks the new attraction for 2015. Here is the spot, click to open as a 360 panorama: /// Marcus

Thanx for a great day with all of you on the TPR Scandi Tour! Helix had technical problems in the beginning, but in the afternoon it was Helix running again. Got a few rides in the evening and Helix is still a great roller coaster, but the rideop still uses the whole body weight to check the restriants with a "You are going to go upside down"-answer as to why they do so. My mom said it felt like to do a mammogram. /// Marcus Bill having fun Rabbit Pontus is the man of the day I wonder what Bill had to drink or is hi high of Helix?

Visited Liseberg last wednesday along with my colleagues, it was perfect sunny weather. The WWF-fountain has received a facelift. /// Marcus

A SkyRoller from Gerstlauer would be awesome. I did over 100 revolutions on Götterflug @ Belantis /// Marcus

A photo from the opening day: Larger image edit: the image is made of 2 images with exposure of 55 and 74 seconds on a tripod. /// Marcus

I also got that highly secret link and it plays very well on my big screen tv /// Marcus

Less then 2 weeks of waiting left /// Marcus

Two new 360° panoramas from the constructions site of Helix. Taken this Monday when my brother and I was guided the construction site of Helix. /// Marcus

Even more photos from today's drive-by. /// Marcus

An article in today's Göteborgs Posten on Liseberg's expansion plans for the south parking lot and the new ground. They are looking at a hotel and adventure bath complex is open year-round along Mölndalsvägen. A parking garage along the E6 and a garden between. The plans are very long term and it will not be completed until about 2025. /// Marcus source in Swedish: GP Liseberg current layout How Liseberg maybe will look like in 2025

Because my brother is away on some sort of vacation, I took some photos when I did a few errands in Gothenburg today. /// Marcus The Liseberg flag has been removed from the tophat.

I don't see how forward acceleration can be influenced greatly by the seat on the ride. Well let's say you sit in the very back of a coaster. If there is a big first drop (like on hypers and gigas) you will notice that the back is pulled by the rest of the train over the top. If you sit in the front, on the other hand, you will be left sort of hanging for a while before the rest of the train enters the drop. This can also be noticed on some loops, for example. When I rode batman the ride at sfgadv I remember that, when sitting in the front, it would have a sort of hanging feel once that part of the train had cleared the top of the loop while in the back it was the opposite: it would be "pulled" down the second half of the loop. The longer the trains are the bigger the difference is. In theory, the middle is where there are less forward or backwards forces as it is the center of mass of the train. You can clearly see the two stops on the graphic as then the forward acceleration is negative but throughout the rest of the ride there are smaller variations partially cause by this. Loefet and I have 20+ measurements of Balder from almost every row and we can approximate where in the train the measurement was recorded with the force-characteristic of the airtime hills. You can see this in almost every coaster. Good explanation about rotation and noise reduction. /// Marcus
