wmay Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Marcus (or anyone else going on friday) can you report on what the vests are like? I heard that they were the kind that "give" a little and are not completely locked in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The "west"-part of the restrains have some elastic flex at the top fastening points, so the rider can lean a little bit forward. /// Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookiex Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 According to the app it’s closed now. Edit: Near 10 P.M and Valkyria doesn’t seem to have re-opebed. Guess those few hours were enough until tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomasx Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 The drop was awesome! The ride was supersmooth! But way too short! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomasx Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 It was a "smooth start" today, so it closed at seven. Tomorrow is official opening day, so I assume it will be open until 2300. Hope they get the queing sorted by tomorrow as well. A bit of a mess today. I was refused the single queue because it was "too long". Took me an hour in the regular queue. When I got to the end they took 5 people from the single queue who had waited only 15 minutes, in front of me, and I had to wait for the next ride. They were clearly a bit stressed, first day on the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookiex Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Valkyria was pretty dope. Wouldn’t say it’s the next Helix/Balder but it’s a really solid addition to a really solid park. The vests sit pretty tight while you sit in the station but riding it you don’t feel them at all. The holding brake gives you a great hanging sensation even when you’re not in the front row. I also rode Loke and Mechanica both for the first time and both scared the crap out of me... But I’m glad I got to experience them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejon Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Liseberg is planning a new dark ride for the 2020 season, there's a public procurement going on for the actual building as can be seen on this link.

lond Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Today Liseberg took the first step of the Jubileumsprojektet.

Scandinaviour Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Apparently our Halloween-film was a little too scary for Youtube, so it got banned.

lond Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Some photos from last Friday, when I was a teacher aid at this year physic lecture @ Liseberg. Riding the wave swinger with water and slinky toys Liseberg has started to demolish building for the temporary parking space during the construction of the hotel and water park @ Södra parkeringen. Liseberg have released a shorter, more "friendly" Halloween video: /// Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 ^^^ Awwwww, that's too bad about re-editing the first video. It's still ok, but really quick, now. The first one actually gave me a jump, near the end of it. Oh well, I guess you have to change things, if your video gets banned on YouTube. And by the way - BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to Youtube!

wmay Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I had the pleasure to try Valkyria for the first time a few weeks ago. I did the single rider line (still took 50 minutes as it was an extraordinarily busy saturday) and was randomly assigned an outer seat on the front row. I absolutely loved it! It's actually now my favourite coaster in the park. I was a dive coaster virgin before Valkyria so I don't know where it stands compared to some of the bigger ones out there, but I absolutely loved it. Tried Helix again but it just doesn't do it for me for some reason. The hill after the inverted top hat gives some great ejector air time but otherwise I'm not much of a fan. Mechanica and Loke were amazing. Tried AeroSpin as well but as embarrassed as I am to admit it once we got up at the top I just froze and didn't dare to spin at all! It was somewhat windy and even the wind tipping me slightly to the side scared me to death so I just sat still and prayed for it to be over! I got one round on Lisebergsbanan as well but that's all the rides that we had time for due to the insane crowds. I've never seen Liseberg that crowded. Next time I will definitely go on a weekday. Liseberg really is a fantastic park and I'm glad to hear about the new dark ride coming. Now that Sagoslottet isn't there anymore that part of the park feels a bit dead. It's also the ugliest section, with it's gaudy fast food relics and random claw machine games from the 80's standing out like an eyesore in the otherwise gorgeous surroundings. I'm guessing this part of the park will be getting the makeover it deserves once the waterpark opens in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
