Luna update time. I was at Liseberg for Christmas opening and the park is absolutely lovely but the hill (exept for around the ferriswheel) is mostly closed, undecorated and badly landscaped. All rides and coasters on the hill are closed (except for the ferriswheel). Most of it is walkable and...

I was terrified of hamgtime as a kid, while not being too scared of inversions. I think there were others like me.

While that might have soured CFs taste of the area, I don't think the city council was the reason for selling the park. I think the reasons for CF selling it are purely financial. If the park isn't profitable enough and sits on prime real estate then why keeping it? My preferred solution to...

No walk now, could be in the future. Depends how upset the voters are. The city could be incredibly harsh with the zoning if they want to, making the land useless if it isn't a theme park. When we get closer to a closing, this might heat up.

Never thought I'd say this, but, I want to ride a boomerang.

I'm sure it will be butter smooth hangtime with short lines. I'm not complaining from an enthusiast pov. Fast and probably enjoyable credit for us. Surely better than a roller skater. I just don't get what Merlin were thinking that this would be the best way to introduce kiddos to inversions.

If I was a kid, I would probably be more terrified of this than a coaster that takes inversions swiftly without hangtime, like a Schwarzkopf or Arrow looper. On those types of coasters you only close your eyes and wont even feel that you are upside down. Hangtime can be terrifying for kids...

After may complaints, Lisberg will again sell tickets at their entrances. Since the pandemic, Liseberg has been pre booking only (except for pass holders). Some days there would be plenty of tickets left while others it would completely sell out. On a study visit to Liseberg earlier this year I...

If this mud pit opens in spring 2024 my mind will be blown away.

I will get hate for this. Europa Park - Coaster wise there is nothing really good and nothing I would necessarily want to go back for. The best attraction here is Piraten in Batavia, followed by Wodan and Eurosat. The park is absolutely lovely but there are countless parks with much better...

They are theming it to a tropical desert

Liseberg has announced their biggest Christmas investment ever. In total they will spend 10 million sek (about 1 million usd) to create a Santa Village. A large focus will be on pixies, with costumed actors that do various things around the village. The small stage will be converted into a...

The Lego family (Christiansen) together with a couple investments funds bought Merlin in 2019. I think that has a lot to do with the changes we are seeing. Even if the management is the same, I expect the new owners have given more investments and put more pressure on quality.

I studied a term of anthropogeography at uni, with a focus on transport and logistics. That is a branch of geography that studies spatial relationships between human communities, cultures, economies, and their interactions with the environment. Basically how location of things interact with...

Flumeride 2.0 could happen. Personally, I am not for the idea but I am not saying it wont happen. Though these sticks could be anything. I would take this with a grain of salt. The parking garage will open because it is finished and the owners will quicker be able to get a return of investment...

The more RMC, the better. Sadly, It won't be

A bit too late to announce an rmc now. Wonder what it'll be

If you want a good laugh watch this. It's basically a commercial for SFMM but produced by someone who even admits that thrills rides isn't his thing. I respect the honesty. Count how many mistakes he makes. Personally , I couldn't keep taking it seriously after he said this about Colossus...

Agreed! That looks hideous. The exposed front axle looks like this stupid blue fire clone train but with a cat glued on

Great post! Yeah this is the zoning plan that was approved on 16-11-2020. World of Volvo (furthest down) is already well underway in construction. The Liseberg expansion itself is very far in the the future, probably 10+ years away. Because they have zoned the land doesn't mean that they...
