I reccomend checking out Spökhotellet Gasten, the parks haunted hotel. If you want to know more about the other rides at Liseberg, check out this http://www.nojespark.net/liseberg.php

Ive been watching that site for quite a while. Its really impressive

Hi all! I just came home from Liseberg after spending an entire day there with 7 other crazy people from the Norwegian Coaster Club. I dont really remember everything that happened that day so this TR wont be extremely long Alright, here we go... Once we were inside the gates we headed for Kanonen since this is the most popular ride and it has the lowest capacity of the coasters in the park. It wasnt open when we came so we decided to take a quick ride on Balder since the queue was short. I had never ridden Balder before so we took the front row. After a 180 degree turn we hit the steep and fast lifthill. You get a really nice view of Kanonen at the top, but there isnt much time to enjoy it. After a short right turn you dive almost vertically towards the ground, and you get some nice floater air in the front seat. The rest of the ride is a double figure-eight layout with lots of ejector airtime and smooth turn. We rode it in the backseat later and the first drop was just insane. Airtime all the way down. The last hill is very surprising as it really throws you into your lapbar. A nice ending to a fantastic ride. After our first ride on Balder, we saw that Kanonen had opened so we decided to get in line. A little while later I was in the front seat looking down the launch track. The sound of drums starts, and we roll back and forth a little. Arms up and I was ready to go.... An explosion is heard on the speakers and off we go. WOW! The launch was better than I expected, but it seemed to loose its speed very quickly right before the tophat. I cant really remember much of the ride, except that I really liked it. Maybe a bit painfull on the twisting airtime hills, but still a really good ride. Unfortunately it broke down so I only got one ride on it. They started testing it again late in the evening, and I got to see a rollback. It was just a shame it never opened again that day. I cant really remember when we rode it the first time, but one thing I do know is that we rode Lisebergbanan quite a few times that day. This ride is just fantastic, it has everything. Airtime, strong positive G-forces and lateral G-forces. Its a very fun ride, and the interaction with some of the other rides is just great. The only negative thing about this ride is the brakes, which arent the most comfortable. The ride throws you around a bit, but its still smoother than many newer rides. Thats quite impressive considering its 18 years old. I can easily understand why this was Anton Schwarzkopf's favorite coaster. Another thing that impressed me, was that they were running 5 trains on it so the queue was moving constantly. There were always 1 train on the lift, 2 on the track, 1 on the brakes and 1 in the station. Way to go Liseberg! Some of us rode Cirkusexpressen to get an extra credit. Its a small Zierer Tivoli coaster and its something you only want to ride once. The seats arent padded very well, and the ride is a bit rough. I feel sorry for the kids who has to ride coasters like this when the adults can enjoy smooth coasters like Lisebergbanan and Balder. The park has many other fun rides like Höjdskräcken, a great S&S Turbo Drop, Flumeride, a really good Arrow logflume, Kållerado, a very wet river rapids, Spinrock, a fun Zamperla Discovery 24 and at last, but not least.... Spökhotellet Gasten. This is a haunted hotel with real actors in it. It really made me jump a few times. Without a doubt the best attracion of its kind Ive been on. Despite the fact that I only rode Kanonen once, I had a fantastic day at Liseberg and I cant wait to go back sometime. Liseberg has 3 fantastic coasters, and Im sure there are some other norwegian coaster enthusiasts out there who agrees with me Pictures will be coming soon...

You have to see this, its awesome http://www.wimp.com/fainting/

31 if I ride all the coasters at Liseberg, Thorpe Park, Vidampark, Vienna Prater, Erlebnispark Strasswalchen, Canevaworld, Gardaland and Mirabilandia

My favorite coaster is Superman Attracion de Acero and I love both the front and the backseat. The frontseat has the best views, but the backseat has some amazing airtime down the first drop. I prefer to sit on the far left side because of the last ground-hugging helix http://www.rcdb.com/ig1366.htm?picture=30

I bought it too after playing the demo. It isnt excactly the 'greatest game' but like Real said, its the best screensaver ever

Im going to Liseberg with the Norwegian coaster club in less than 2 weeks

^I love cats! Heres a pic of our cat, Melissa.

One of the reasons for that is the lack of realistic theming in the game. Very little of the theming can be used to build "non-themed" buildings.

Ive been working on a park in RCT3 for a little while now and its almost done. It has 2 big coasters, 2 other thrill rides, a log flume and a nice collection of family rides. Heres some screenshots of the park. Some of them are a bit "old".

Ive seen that ferris wheel and some of those buildings in a video of Stalker - The Game. I beleive that 60% of the world in that game is excactly like the real place. Heres a link to the website http://www.stalker-game.com/

Eyerly Rock-o-Plane that came with the fair. It looked really old and rusty and the sounds from the engine werent that great either. The ride was awesome though, but I was a bit nervous about the entire ride collapsing

That zero-g roll looks really good. Keep up the fantastic work

Damn that coaster is ugly. Hopefully it will be fun, but its not excactly what Im looking most forward to ride this year....

Of those Ive ridden: Wooden coaster: Thundercoaster (Tusenfryd) Steel coaster: Superman Atracción de Acero (WBMW Madrid) Dropride: Flight of the Phoenix (Terra Mitica) Flatride: KMG Afterburner (Fair ride) Water ride: Supersplash (Tusenfryd)

Ive ridden Thundercoaster 15 times. It is still a good ride, but it was much better when it opened. It felt really slow towards the end lst year. But its still a wild, brutal ride that throws you around alot. I dont mind woodies that really tries to show you whos the boss, but in my opinion Thundercoaster is a bit too rough to truly enjoy. Its a shame it doesnt have the same restraints as the other Vekoma woodies. The seats are comfortable, but the steel lapbar isnt. Btw, as far as I know Vekoma did very little on Thundercoaster. The trains and probably some of the technical stuff like brakes and such are from Vekoma, but the ride was designed by Robert Casey/Allot and Lomax. The coaster itself was built by a company that travels around the world and builds wooden coaster. The last coaster they built before Thundercoaster was SoB. Edit: Heres a pic of the restraints on Thundercoaster Yngve "Thundercoaster hurts my knees" Oestbye

Did it look like this http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%20Pages/supershot.html ??

Pictures are from www.coastergallery.com I guess you can call SoB a hyper-woodie

Im going to Liseberg in a month, so Im very excited about Kanonen. Im also going to Gardaland, but Im not really excited to ride the S&S Screamin Scquirrel. Im mostly annoyed actually because it destroys the great look of the vekomalooper.

There is rumors about Tusenfryd adding a launched coaster for the 2006 season, and the park has confirmed that theyre getting something "big" next year. Im sure the management on Tusenfryd has watched the construction of Kanonen, so I wouldnt be surprised to see a small-scale Intamin rocket coaster

I cant wait to ride it in a month, it looks fantastic. I dont care if its a bit rough, I like rides that throws you around a bit Btw, it looks like they removed the trim brakes....

Superman Attracion de Acero: Loop and zero-g roll Batman la Fuga: All the inversions on this ride are great!

It doesnt look that big, but thats probably because of the HUGE track. The ride looks good anyway, but I think it would be even better with some more close-to-the-ground action.
