Liseberg Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

If I'm not mistaken most of the smaller dive machines do come to a stop. Most likely since the trains are lighter.
IIRC Krake comes to a complete stop and it has the same 6-across setup as Valkyria.

Oh yes, you're right! I guess my pointless observation was even more pointless than I gave it credit for

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

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.

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 )

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.

Here are the photos from the long-awaited media day for Valkyria

We started the day with apfelstrudel, ice cream, coffee and a short speech from the management at Liseberg

Then it was time to test Valkyria

I will also be in the park on August 10th, if anyone would like to have a TPR mini meeting.

Where does the singlerider line start? For me it looks like the main entrance is just regular and express?

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.

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.

So there’s an entire queue just for the front row? Does single rider still let you on the front or is it back rows only?

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.
^ 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.

When B&M was doing SheiKra and Griffon, the modern dive coaster was still a new thing. For all we know, Canada's Wonderland's upcoming dive coaster could be an even better layout than Valkyria's.

 

I also call shenanigans on the "flat piece of land" thing. Shambananacreampie, Katun, Nitro, Raptor / Monster, Diamondback, Valravn... All apparently really good B&Ms that were built on open plots of land.
