An update. At this point there is still fire in the building, 30 hours after it started. Though the fires are fully contained. The water slide tower and the whole main indoor section are at a risk of collapse and the fireservices do not allow unnecessary access to them. The main roof beams of...

From another interview with the fire chief. The slide tower and main water hall are completely gutted, some parts have collapsed in on themselves. Changing rooms, cafes, staff areas and some technical spaces have been saved.

I will try my best to transcribe that press conference. It really doesn't say much, the whole thing seems very clouded and badly produced. The head fireman says that the fire had a very gaseous explosive fire progression, which meant that the firemen had to retreat and instead work at limiting...

I havn't physically seen it burning since yesterday evening and there is no longer smoke or smell of smoke coming out. There could still be small fires inside. All road blocks have been lifted, it's pretty much like normal. There are still firefighters working on the building. I dont know if...

I found a video of how it looked inside the water park from Coaster Stop. The pools even started to be filled.

Just got the text that the danger is over and all restrictions are lifted. I have now opened all windows and am airing out the smoke from my apartment. The report has come that 22 people were lightly injured by the fire and one worker is missing. His family has been notified. If he was in the...

Liseberg Grand Curiosa Hotel is evacuated and will be closed for at least 24 hours.

The fire is contained to the water park. It happened around the water slide tower which is the furthest away from the dry park and hotel. It's been a ton of smoke which might have caused some damage to the hotel or nearby buildings. Otherwise I dont think there has been any physical damage. I am...

I was woken up by a series of explosions and later an awful smoke smell. I live right next to it, under the smoke. It looks really bad, happy that no one got gravely hurt. It's still burning right now, 4 hours later.

I recently got introduced to that in geography class at university. It's a very American thing, where it has been used to derogatorily describe black people. I think very few people outside of American know or think of that usage of the term. We still use it scientifically in geography, I cant...

In my experience drop coasters vests are looser than wing coaster vests

A B&M with 15 year expected service life 🙄

If there really is a enforced service life restriction, I wonder if western manufacturers have built their Chinese coasters any different than their western counterparts to save cost? Also, will these coasters be melted down or might they be relocated to other countries ones they are done in China?

For me it's urban all the way! I live in the city center of Gothenburg (600k inhabitants) about 400m from Liseberg. I grew up in the city center of Malmö (300k inhabitants). I still visit Malmö pretty often. When reaching the age of clubbing and partying even Malmö started feeling too small on...

I briefly dated a guy from Abu Dhabi. While technically sodomy has a max of 14 years imprisonment in the Abu Dhabi it's not really enforced. The arab world has a strong focus on family bonds. While the authorities usually will turn a blind eye, it's the family itself that is dangerous for local...

I have been planning an Saudi trip for a while now. If this park is open, it will just be the icing on the cake. No drinks, no pork and no sex. I can easily survive that for a couple of weeks. Really looking forward to this trip.

I know she has a habit of putting herself in the middle of drama but it would really be great to get an explination from CF of what happened. If there really was sexism, that's a problem. Throughout my years on CF as an openly gay man, I haven't experienced any sort of sexism or homophobia. I...

Gröna Lund have stated that Jetline will be closed until at least the Swedish Accident Investigation Authority investigation is complete. This should take about a year. Here you can follow the progress of the investigation...

I'm guessing 2 years after we start seeing landclearing. As there is nothing now, I'm guessing 2026 earliest.

Out of the list it's Zadra-Hyperion imo. Would have loved to see Helix-Balder on there
