2008:
Liseberg have just released a press release that wraps up the summer season for this year, it also gives a few details on what to expect for next season.
The press release states that the numbers of visitors in the later half of the season have dropped since last season, but that's a trend that have been noticed at many other parks in the Nordic countries. But they have still managed to get around 2,3 million visitors in total this year, and the winter season opens in little over a month to add to that.
Also it gives a riders/visitors tally for the new rides of the season and also a top 5 for overall.
Top 5:
1. Lisebergbanan 1,4 million
2. FlumeRide 1,2 million
3. Kållerado 1,1 million
3. Balder 1,1 million
5. Kanonen 700 000
New attractions:
Cykelturen 180 000
Evert Taubes Värld 100 000
Lisebergs Lustgård 70 000
2009:
Liseberg have just announced one of their 2 new attractions for next year. "Unfortunately" it looks like Tornado (S.D.C Galactica) is going to bite the dust (it have been on the chopping block for some years now).
The new attraction, called Hang Hai, is a Zamperla Mega Disk'O,. It's going to get a Asian theme, this to connect it up to the little Asian garden right next to it (behind Tornado/FlumeRide).
There is another new ride scheduled for next year, which is more of a family ride, but it's not announced yet...
There are a few other things that are going to get fixed up for the next season.
Beyond:
Liseberg are still planning on what they are going to do with that large piece of vacant land south of the park. It's stated that it will be more of a year around attraction. But that's all I know at the moment. There have been some proposals of making that area into a Water Park, but that is a bad idea since there are multiple public baths in Gothenburg with slides an all.
I keep you posted as I find more...
