A.J. Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 That's a fair assumption. I recall that when Gerstlauer did the refurbishment on Sooperdooperlooper at Hersheypark (which also included new trains), they added a string of magnetic brakes at the end.

lond Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 The new trains is built from the specifications of the original blueprints. The old break system is still there, because there is no space to mount magnetic breaks on the train and Stengel designed the ride experience like this I forgot to ask if they have upgraded the control system on Lisebergbanan. /// Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Today I hade a early errand in Göteborg and with the sunny Easter weather I took this photo from my usual spot. High resolution photo Liseberg also announced a competition that you can sign up for... The competition: Four teams will compete under 120 minutes to ride the 4 big rollercoasters (Lisebergbanan, Balder, Helix & Valkyria) in the park (a SuperFour). Every time your team completes a SuperFour, the team gets one point. The team with the highest score after 120 minutes wins. https://www.liseberg.se/superfyra-tavling/ <--- in Swedish /// Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lond Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Today it was the premiere opening of the summer season. After a period of sunny and warm weather, the weather gods decided that rain was needed.... Four teams competed for the glory to open the season. It was team Valkyria that was victorious and got to do the honors. And then the rain started (I wonder, if team Blader won, would it have been sunny?). Photos: Go team Valkyria The staff of Liseberg was greeting us New decoration inside the station of Lisebergbanan The new facade looks really good Lots of mist today Whoooooooo Liseberg has upgraded the entrance to Balder During an archaeological excavation, a sacred ritual site was found under the red cottage... The interior of the station of Balder has been rethemed The old Polketen and the new Lilla scenen New for this year, you can drink alcoholic beverages inside Hamnkvarteret The facade of the attraction for next year looks good. The moved Kaninteatern Lucky shoot of today. I was thinking of doing a photoshop, but I didn't need to... They will continue to dig behind the fence. /// Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Sad to see the red cottage gone. But other than that, everything is looking great! Thanks for sharing your visit there, Marcus.

lond Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 They was only running one train on Lisebergbanan, so the queue was very long. So I can't give you my opinion, but from a good source, the new trains is a improvement. /// Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 ^ Congratulations to Andreas. I had (another) great time at Liseberg, during the 2014 TPR Scandi Tour. So I know he was definitely part of that great visit. Continued success for him.....and Tivoli too, now that they're getting him, LOL! Mmmmmm Liseberg. TPR 2014 Scandi Tour.

dcxs Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 ^^This is so sad, Liseberg has seen one of the best (and biggest) expansions of the last years. I hope the innovation can continue. Well thanks for everything Andreas!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I always feel bad for seasonal parks that have bad weather on their big opening days! I'm glad the Swedish people are tougher than we are and made the most of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lime Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hi, I'm new here but have been followning the forum for a while! I found a really interesting video talking about the Liseberg's next 5 years. So I wondered what your guesses/thoughts are for future attractions at Liseberg and also, when do you think the next roller coaster is coming and if so, what type?

JT325 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Factoid: Lisebergbanan was Anton Schwarzkopf's favorite coaster he worked on. I hope the new trains still have the classic smooth and flat-ish seat pads and not buckets. The side-to-side/lateral sliding action on a Schwarzkopf coaster is a fun feature. Liseberg is my #1 must-get-to park. edit - oh well, the new trains do have bucket-y seats as Gerstlauer does these days. There are probably only 6 people in the world who notice these geeky details anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejon Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 The new trains are exactly like the old ones, including seats and the ratchet lap bar mechanism. The new trains are manufactured by Zierer, the same as the old ones. Source: I went to Liseberg a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT325 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 ^For some reason I thought Lisebergbanan had these same seats, perhaps I was incorrect: Which were on many Schwarzkopf and Schwarzkopf related rides over the years. These are the relatively "flat" seats I was referring to, which give great opportunity for lateral movement (hello Mind Bender!) This photo is from Lobster at Six Flags Great America; Fiddler's Fling at the same park has the same seats. Either way, those new trains looks fantastic! Kudos to Liseberg for maintaining their classic coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
