Loefet Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Here is a few mixed pictures from the 2009 winter season of Liseberg that were taken over a few visits in December last year. They were celebrating their 10 year anniversary since they first featured the Christmas Season in 2000. I'm sorry to say that none of the big rides were open, and that parts of the park was of limits to visitors (mainly the top of the hill except for the observation tower) and that most of the opened areas were filled with small stands selling a lot of local specialities, handicraft, etc... But I have to say one thing riding Rabalder when it's-10°C is really not pleasant... Pictures!! Signature marker of Christmas at Liseberg!! Oh I forgot to tell you that we have found another place to take awesome images of Balder It's really hard to get better views of this turn or here Towers!! Kanonen Loop No stalled trains this time Spinning Dormant coasters Balder, the 7:th best wooden coaster in the world Imagine the wind chill when zooming through here when it's -10°C More Balder It's good that Christmas at Liseberg closes at the 23:rd, since this guy won't have time to stay at the park after that Mmmm Waffles!! Coaster in the snow I get frostbites just looking at it Another load of soon to be ice cubes Don't they look happy... There are other ways to cool your self down here... Closed due to the cold, I wonder if they were having problem with ice-bergs... Those old school cars don't seem to have any problem with the cold Christian stuff Both fake and real snow It's so much better in the summer, oh wait it isn't The banana is hibernating Here comes the night lighting Ice Sculpture Liseberg in the snow Tower + Wheel Balder's big turn Probably the best airtime hill in the world Oh I haven't posted one of these in a while Getting darker This looks awesome at night Oh it's got brighter again From one of the parking garages in the area Chair swingy thing Same through some night lighting Here comes the night stuff Signature shot Balder lighting See I told you it looks good Boat Balder again Giant Christmas tree Dance-floor Christmas tree again Another Ice sculpture YAY, ICE BAR!!

Bridges Main stage Skating rink More buildings with lights Main entrance Christmas tree reflected in a building Liseberg paradise Superluminal escalator Rablader Outside the banana They will have a giant electric bill after this Fairytale castle Balder at night from new observation point Signature shot Signature shot from other observation point Balder I hope that you have have a great 2009, and here is to a great 2010!!

Loefet Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Thanks everyone for the kind words!! Yeah the Ice Bar is back, this time it's a more permanent feature instead of the temporary building it was located in in 2006, so hopefully it will be a permanent drinking hole for the seasons to come.

odene497 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 These are really beautiful! Love the "Balder at night" photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryancrash Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Wow, Liseberg in the snow looks amazing! I've always wanted to ride coasters in the snow. I'd even settle for Rabalder in the snow. Too bad the ice bar wasn't around when we were there in June - I sure hope it's back to stay. Would love to check it out on my next visit. Great Balder photos! Best woodie on Earth. I want to go back to Sweden now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
