Liseberg have confirmed to a group of individuals on a behind-the-scenes tour that they are looking at installing a new rollercoaster for 2018. The Swedish park are considering either a B&M Invert or some kind of coaster from RMC. The location for the new attraction will be next to Balder on the land that is currently occupied by the old factory buildings.

If an RMC comes to Liseberg, it'd quite literally be the best amusement park in Europe, let alone Sweden.

If they go with RMC, they may have the best wooden coaster pair on the planet. But I could see them building an invert since Kolmarden already has an RMC.

^Both can be loud or quiet. If you want a quiet B&M, fill it with sand. If you want it loud, don't. Loud ones use steel wheels, quiet ones use polyurethane/nylon(idk what they use exactly). I also know that Goliath's track was filled with cement, idk about the others though.

I'm hoping for an RMC here, even if an invert would be the better fit. By adding an RMC (hopefully the first T-Rex) Liseberg would have THE world's best coaster lineup in my opinion. If they opt for an RMC, it will need to focus on positive Gs and laterals, and unique sensations to the park such as lateral airtime or hangtime. As much as I want another airtime machine, the park should probably go for an all around intense ride.

I'm very skeptical, and I recommend everybody to take this with an extreme grain of salt in order to avoid disappointment.
The property is huge and there is a big-a$$ old factory still standing on the property. Liseberg is also run by the city of Göteborg and the local politicians have not even decided on how Liseberg should grow on the new property yet. There's not even a zoning plan for the area yet, something that takes years to create, it can't really be that far yet. Also building big coasters in a city on a new property is very controversial in Sweden, so count on it being lot's of appeals when a new zoning plan is about to be voted into effect.
If we have a new coaster for 2018 then great, I will be the first one to get a boner. But I really don't see it as likely.
