cookiex Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Good news: the tunnel for Valkyria is finally complete and testing will start next week /// Marcus Photos from todays visit will be uploaded soon. Would a mid-July opening be possible since I intend to visit the park by the end of that month?
viking86 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Posted June 30, 2018 Good news: the tunnel for Valkyria is finally complete and testing will start next week /// Marcus Photos from todays visit will be uploaded soon. That's great news! I hope to make it back to Liseberg either late summer or early autumn.
lond Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Just beware that the world's largest youth football tournament Gothia Cup taking place 15-21/7 and Liseberg will be packed with participants.... Gothia Cup = 1700 teams from 80 nations. /// Marcus
Anac0nda Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 That animation may be short, but it sure is beautiful!
viking86 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Posted July 2, 2018 That's an awesome animation! Not long left now. I'm starting to plan a visit in August, so excited for this addition to one of my favorite parks!
Nrthwnd Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Honestly, I wish the whole landscape was like that, around this coaster! Very thrilling video.
viking86 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 Valkyria is testing!! Video from Lisebergs facebook page. [fbvideonew] [/fbvideonew]
JordyC Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Finally!! As soon as they announce an opening date, I'll be booking my flight to Gothenburg!
viking86 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 ^I booked a trip to Gothenburg on August 9-10th. Can't wait to ride this!
JordyC Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 ^Awesome! I hope you have a great time. I'd expect Valkyria to open by the end of July. I always try to wait a few weeks after opening, just to be sure. So I'll probably be at Liseberg around the time that you're going!
viking86 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 ^Thanks, you too! I never book a trip around opening day of a new ride myself either, too many things that can go wrong. Always best to wait a week or three.
lond Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Yesterday I got the information the Liseberg would do the first test of Valkyria today, so I got up early to document the event: Valkyria looks nice in the morning sun I will try to get both trains in the same photo.... Fun , fun, fun..... Inspection crew Train!!!!! Predrop inspection I don't want to drop Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Loop de loop We will brake soon Apparently Sweden played some kind of sport event today...... We lost I also add photos from last week, when I visited the park with my sisters kids and a secret guest... I saw that viking89 beat me with the video, but I didn't get the Twitter tags working anyway. Now we just have to wait until the certification of Valkyria is done before we can start riding.... /// Marcus
Nrthwnd Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Um......secret guest? Interesting. Great covering all the testing, Marcus! It looks really awesome! Thanks for all the photos.
viking86 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 Great pictures Marcus! I love the last shot from the hill, looks very different compared to when Kanonen was standing in the same spot. I must also say that I think the layout of this ride looks absolutely fantastic! Possibly the best dive coaster layout to date??
lond Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Liseberg just released a pressrelease: First testrun if Valkyria only in swedish. It says it was a sucsessfull testrun and they will continue on with testruns, tweaking of the coaster, training of the staff, completion if the theming and finaly certification of the ride. They estimate it will take ~3 weeks until the grand opening. /// Marcus
Nrthwnd Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 ^ Three weeks, huh? Can you hold on till then, without going crazy, Marcus?
RollingCoasting Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Sounds like Kanonen may be headed to Lost Island Waterpark in Iowa
Canobie Coaster Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 ^ That's a really unexpected spot for Kanonen to end up. I do want to see a confirmation from the park for that reason, but if so this is a shock. Does anyone read First Drop Magazine? That's cited, but there isn't an online article I can find.
lond Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 It's only a notice in the "on track"-section in the latest First Drop about Lost Island and Kanonen. /// Marcus
