SwedishMan Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Some short information for those who may want to visit the park after looking at the report. Where is Liseberg located? In the central part of Göteborg, Sweden. Is the park expensive to visit? Well, for children under 7 years, for them the admission is free. For all others admission cost 60 SEK (2007)Wristbands cost 280 SEK, but you can also extend your ride pass into a 2-day ride pass. A single wristband cost 280 SEK for one day and if you extend the ride pass so you can ride as much as you want for 2 days it will cost 90 SEK in addition. What will be new for 2008? As shown in the 2007 report Evert Taubes Värld will be the new attraction for next year. Another new garden will also be new for 2008. No new rides for 2008? It´s not known yet, my guess is that we will see a new thrill ride for the 2009 season. What is known about the future of Liseberg? There is a plan for expansion but during the autumn things hopefully will become clear and of course you will be informed. As most of the visitors here surely doesn´t know much about the history, i will also tell which rides that has been placed at which spaces earlier at Liseberg.
