Nrthwnd Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Wow. A lot of wonderful shots you've taken at Liseberg, Marcus! So many to choose from. I am curious about one thing I saw in one of your shots.... Is this a standing heater of some kind? For folks to stand around and warm up, with?

tooponn Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I would think that the lift somehow stoped and the train rolled back. I hope no one sues the park for this. I am really sad that this happened and I hope everyone will be ok . tea tv apk hellodear.in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I love how busy the park is even with so much snow and cold weather...plus the coasters running...it's great to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I took the last working day of the year of and made a visit to Liseberg for the last time this year. So lots of (random) photos from the park The sun shines its rays on Valkyria Only 359 days to the next Christmas Eve Weeee.... The Santa helpers are grumpy and sad that it's the last day of winter season 2022 at Liseberg. but they are happy that they can now rest for 9 month.... As a OHS representative at my work It's good to see that they keep a good working environment in the Santa workshop... Who have been naughty this year? Maybe NORAD can borrow this map for next season "Santa tracker"??? The new hotell looks really good in the dark. The interior of the "VOLVO experience center" look impressive. Happy New Year and looking forward to the next season that also will be the 100 year anniversary of Liseberg!! /// Marcus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Thanks for all these great photos of Liseberg, Marcus! Unfortunately, I think the only 'word' I could make out in all those photos with signs in them (or on stalls) .... was Biergarten. Happy New Year Marcus, and all the best for a Much Better Year ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Bonus construction update During my visit to Liseberg I accidental bumped in to Andreas Andersen that was on the way to give @Eftelflags (twitter) among others a construction tour of Luna. A BIG kudos to Andreas and Liseberg to let me tag along on the construction tour The roof of the water land on the way to be finished. World of Volvo-building looks impressive, but it's more spectacular in the dark.. It's really close to de building.. Luna footers. More Luna footers.. Even more Luna footers, the top of the hill is riddled of Luna footers Station building Preparing for blasting for even more Luna footers?? We had to crawl through a hole in the fence to get to the Luna station building... Lisebergbanan will go really close to the station building The inside of the station building will have the same "steam punk"-theme as the rest of the "Luna Park"-area Rare "used to be off limit" view of Lisebergbanan. Even more Luna footers.... Here will the fun begin... Exiting through the same hole in the fence that we entered.. More Luna footer that is waiting to be installed.. Massive footer that is incorporated in the existing buildings.. The Luna Park-area will never be the same after next summer End of the tour... They are getting ready to install tracks as soon the park is closed for the season /// Marcus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 ^ OMG talk about awesome timing, huh?? So nice of them to let you tag along for the tour 'backstage'. And a lot (again) of great photos to show how the construction of LUNA is going, too! Thanks for going, and getting these great shots, Marcus!

lond Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I realised that I have missed to post any photos in the thread between last time and now So here is a catch-up post before the 100+ photo update tomorrow /// Marcus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 And now back to present day.... I attended the media day (18/4) that was hosted together with ECC to make a dry-run of the park and the hotel and we had the task of reporting all the things that needed to be fixed before the grand opening.. During the day we got to attend the media pre-launch of Luna, a walk through of Oceana (opening 2024) and Lisebergs family day for the employees, in all a full day at Liseberg As always when it´s a media day at Liseberg it was a beautiful and sunny day. Still things to do before the park is opened... The view and details in the hotel is real top notch I don´t think they could have found a bigger bell.... Even an old carousel inside the hotel for enjoying guests on the rainy days Several conference rooms if you need to have a meeting And the slide in the lobby where kids in all ages and size can enjoy them self... The view from the roof top bar over the park is stunning.. Now on to the media part of the event (and to ride Luna for the first time)..... Going up the lift hill...... ...and going back down again Point of no return... Liseberg has really shoehorned in Luna in the space that is left form Lisebergbanan... All the small details... Back to the car to lighten the load of the backpack... And found a new viewing point from the newly opened parking garage beneath "World of Volvo" The new sign is assembled.. And while we waited for the construction tour of Oceana, we were allowed to stroll in the empty park in the sunny and warm spring weather... The upgraded South entrance of Liseberg Kids in all sizes and ages.... On to the construction tour of Oceana: It´s huge inside.. After that I did walk through the staircase and corridors of the hotel.... And was treated with all the small and big details Liseberg had put in to the hotel. I found this room number and also rooms 217 & 237... And the Liseberg was opened for the employees and families. No water in the harbour.. The Luna observatory: On the last ride of Lisebergbanan the train stalled at the very top of the lift hill and after some faultfinding we was rescued and had to walk the lift hill back to the station... While we waited all the cameras in the train was deployed and we got some nice views of Helix zooooooming by After a couple more rides on Helix it was time to go home.. The hotel looks really good in the dark Someone had already littered the new Liseberg sign with a rental E-scooter And a photo of "World of Volvo" that will open next year.. Luna will be a big compliment for the park and the guest that has something more to ride beside Lisebergbanan before they are big enough to ride Balder, Helix and Valkyria... Big thanks to Liseberg and ECC to arrange this day. Liseberg also released the information that Flumride is in the end of its lifespan and will be replaced with a new in the near future... /// Marcus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 What are Rooms '217' and '237' meaning? Room '666' I understand. I think. Still, I am curious about the other two numbers.

They're both the worst/most haunted room in the Overlook Hotel in The Shining. 217 in the book, 237 in the movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flumride will be running this year and probably also next year also, Liseberg is still early in the planning phase of replacing Flumeride with a new water ride with similar ride capacity / throughput.. /// Marcus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Yesterday on my last vacation day I went by Liseberg to take some new photos. Some tubing left to install: I hope that the turquoise ride don´t end like that Airtime: New photo spot: I hope that I get some more photos this Saturday. /// Marcus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 When I unloaded the camera today I realised that I totally missed the Saturday photos I mentioned in the last post..... But here they are + the photos I took today. My work had a family day at Liseberg and I ended up with a fellow roller-coasterfantast doing all of the roller-coasters and AtmosFear with VR-googles (even more mind games).. So first some random photos in the park: The guest service in the park have now moved to the hotel. Construction photos: And the photos from today: Liseberg is getting ready Halloween that starts on Friday 2023-10-06 The funnel will be massive And just a little side note, during the summer I have been working on the next version of my 10-DOF motion logger that I'm using to measure roller-coasters and other amusement park rides. Below you can see the size difference between the previous version (v 8 ) and the new one (v 10) (version 9 newer left the design phase): The loss in weight between the last one ( 73,5g) and the new (16,7g) is huge I have found some thing with the new unit that (might) need to be fixed, so version 10b is in the design flow, but some other project (and work) have priority... /// Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Visited the yearly book fair in Gothenburg last weekend (when I also took the latest photos of Liseberg) and I found this book at one of the exhibitors: They have it available in both Swedish and English if someone is interested. It's almost 2kg of the history of Liseberg /// Marcus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I downloaded everything that was on my camera and realised that I didn't post any photos of my visits to Halloween and more resent Christmas @ Liseberg + some "drive by:s" At least 2 post with 100+ photos in total to post...

lond Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I start first with Halloween for the consistency.... (photo date: 2023-11-05) First some photos of the progress of the Oceana build: Then we enter the park and wait for it to get dark.. German mobile haunted house Getting darker.. The new illumination of Balder is really nice Come and play with me... The World Of Volvo-building looks great in the dark.. /// Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Visited Christmas @ Liseberg after attending the early electronic and technology auction held by the ETA section @ Chalmers University of Technology. It was perfect conditions with subzero temperature and real snow in the park (photo date: 2023-12-02). In the station of the Liseberg tower Liseberg had arranged a 100 year anniversary exhibition with memorabilia from the first 100 years of Lisebergs existence. Due to the cold weather and real snow it was a lot of people in the park. The food highlight: Suovas kebab (reindeer & mouse with cabbage and lingonberrys in a pita bread and HOT blackcurrant juice to drink) Here is the perfect Christmas themeing... A model of Liseberg when it opened 1923 Some creepie park employees... The spacesuit the rabbits had when they crash landed in Liseberg.. /// Marcus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Some really beautiful photos you've taken, Marcus. But that kebab.... reindeer and .....mouse? Maybe you meant mousse, yes? No? Great tour of the entire park. Thanks for getting out there to take the shots. And Happy Holidays to you, close family and friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lond Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Liseberg decided that the Christmas season for 2023 should end 2024-01-07 and that I'm still on vacation, I went to visit the park in the nice cold weather we have now after the storm passed. All attractions that was scheduled to be open was running and people was riding them despite that it was -6°C when I arrived to the park and it just got colder (I have -12°C @ home right now).. Liseberg had staff going around the park and deliver HOT coffee and tea to the rest of the staff that was working on the attractions and all the games due to the cold weather. The guest/staff ratio in the park was around 75/25, the amount of guests will increase the last 3 days of operation of the Christmas season.. /// Marcus All the water slides are assembled and the parking was now empty of parts.. The countdown to next Christmas has started, only 355 days left.... Perfect placement of a Christmas tree Santa gift workshop believes in YOU... Last year delivery route. I hope the ice is gone when Kollerado opens... Nice igloos around the ice skating rink Mmmmm... More Suovas kebab, this time with elk...... Flash... Who want to ride in this seat?? More flashing... I went in to the lobby of Hotel Grandiosa to warm up a little bit before leaving.. Where you can by the book with history from the first hundred years of the existence of Liseberg.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
