KarlaKoaster Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 If I'm not mistaken most of the smaller dive machines do come to a stop. Most likely since the trains are lighter.

Apollo von Sol Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Wow!! That POV really stands out. This is one of the best dive coasters layout in my opinion. I love the overbanked high speed turn and the two barrel rolls, much better than a second drop in my opinion, I rather have these elements than a second drop!

DoinItForTheFame Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 New video from Liseberg /// Marcus Man, that thing looks amazing. It surprisingly looks more intense and better paced than the larger dive machines. Looks like a GREAT addition to the park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I love how it's worked out, in/thru the rest of the park. Looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lond Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 In the pressrelease Liseberg states that the official ribbon cutting ceremony will happen on August 10th, BUT if the last certification, tests and staff educations are complete, the will do a soft opening earlier in the week Pressrelease - in swedish /// Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my pointless observation was even more pointless than I gave it credit for Given the original dive machine - Oblivion - stopped at the edge while you heard the message 'don't look down' which these days is a painted message you read as you stare at the drop below you, I always took it the stop was the norm and any that don't pause are the ones that are different.

dcxs Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Omg I will actually be in Gothenburg around the 10th! This is kinda far fetched but does anyone by chance have a free entry ticket? I would looooooove just one ride on Valkyira . These tickets were handed out like paper a few years ago I think, and there are some Liseberg employees here heheeee . (Have already been once to Liseberg this year, so 500SEK for a couple of Valkyra rides is a bit steep ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Well, I will be in Gothenburg from Thursday to Sunday this week. I have not yet decided if I will visit Liseberg on Thursday/Friday or Friday/Saturday yet, but if any fellow TPR members are at the park and would like to meet up feel free to let me know. I always enjoy meeting up with fellow enthusiasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is actually five cues (frist row, fast pass, single rider, the rest of the train & disability), the disability cue start @ the photo booth, the rest of the lines splits after the main entrance. /// Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Thanks for all the great photos, Marcus. It looked like a great Media Day for everybody. By the way, in the second to last photo...is that a stream of water spraying towards the track...and the riders? Or are my eyes playing tricks with me. Thought I would ask.

CarolinaJay Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Honestly truly, no hate or anything, but Val has one of THE better/best layouts to date for a dive coaster. Not sure why B&M wasn't that creative for the one's here in the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 ^ When B&M is given a flat piece of land, with no restrictions, they tend to be more boring. When they're given certain restrictions and have to work around things, it forces them to become creative, as it does with any other designer.

Does single rider still let you on the front or is it back rows only? Edited August 9, 2018 by cookiex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
