If you visit Gothenburg during the winter Liseberg has an event called "Christmas at Liseberg Park" and its one of the coziest and magical places in all of sweden during that time in my opinion. They put up over 5 million christmas lights and coupled with the scandinavian darkness at the time it literally transforms into something straight out of a fantasy book :) Glad you enjoyed your stay, Liseberg is Gothenburgs pride and joy and almost everybody in sweden has atleast visited it once.
Cations about timing: In the summer there is the worlds two biggest youth tournaments in Gothenburg. Partille Cup (handball) and Gothia Cup (football/soccer) You don’t want to plan go to Liseberg in those weeks. There is tens of thousands of youngsters all over town, an ALL of them will visit Liseberg.
The virtual queueing in the app is just brilliant, if you're a group of say 3 or 4 people and you all have the app, you can all queue for different (or even the same) ride/rides and make sure it's not the same exact time, and you get to bypass all the tedious physical queues (which can be 30+ or even 60+ minutes sometimes) for the most popular rides, and if you find that you have some time between your virtual bookings you just go ride some of the mid or low tier stuff. :)
I was on Liseberg with a friend on halloween last year. It was magical. Also been on Liseberg when they do christmas-theme. I mean what a job. In halloween for sure. Thousands of thousands carved pumpkins. Everyone unique and not same faces at all. They got horrorthemes both for grownups and the mild ones for the younger audience. It was truly amazing. Living in Sweden but have been on Liseberg since I was a kid, so I have seen the parks developement through the years. Well, now I don't go on all the rides though, but they had some really awsome stuff in it's earlier life like Hang-Over, Top-Spin and so on. The one I loved the most was called AeroVarvet. It was a big ship that went around. Then they took that away and I asked them why? I got the answer: "Well, many people didn't like it because it was to scary so we didn't had any profit having it like that way." So they rebuilt it to a gigantic swing that doesn't makes you go upside down. Even if I don't go on rides nowdays, but if that comes back I will ride it until I puke. I rode it 4 times in a row once, and geez, I couldn't walk straight and my head was pumping. I mean, 3 times I was alone on the ride so yeah, I understand why they took it away.
This is my city. When I was a teen I went to Liseberg almost everyday in the summer. We had our trix to find tickets to all the rides. A favorite was to take girls on the Flume ride with our tickets. But at that time arcade games was a big thing and they had so much more of it. The teens in and around Gothenburg hung out in Liseberg more than what teens do today. I don't think teens really hang out there any more like we did. I met my first big love at Liseberg.
Liseberg is a very scenic park. Located in Göteborg and not outside it (kinda unique in itself AFAIK) makes them very cautious of how they use the land. The fact that it’s also situated next to a smallish mountain (if you want to translate Liseberg it would be Lise mountain becuz berg = mountain) that they’ve built rides on makes for stunning views of the city during summer. And all those trees/greenery adds so much to the atmosphere. Half the experience with Liseberg is kinda just walking around and take it all in because they have parks/gardens if you wanna chill for a bit. It isn’t only 1000% adrenaline thrilled rides. Ride for a while, and then relax in a very cozy park or just stroll around for souvenirs/have fika in the village-area. Very beautiful park. And just like you said, when the lights turns on it’s kinda fairytale-like.
The tower for Atmosfear used to be an observation deck that would slowly spin up to the top, so you could get a view of the park and the city before it was rebuilt to its current one.
Before you entered it, there was a video that played, which was about Gothenburg. It also went to the basement level before going up, where you could see the Land of the Liseberg bunnies. There used to be a movie simulator turned 3D cinema to the right, which is now the entrance to Helix. Atmosfear replaced the two previous ones, Uppskjutet and Höjdskräcken. (The Lift-off and the Vertigo). They were located, which is now the green park and has the Victorian-styled attractions.
Gothenburg really is the best town in Sweden (Don't listen to the Stockholmers). It's an old workers town, so the people are friendly and down to earth! That is why Liseberg is so good. People who work there still have their pride in the work they do.
I worked there for 5 years. I only have the best memories. I mean it wasn’t much pay but best first job experience! And you got free rides everyday if you wanted to. And yes we are friendly 😅
Well Gothenburg is better than Stockholm on some things and Stockholm is on others, like it depends what your planning to do which one you should go to
Love Liseberg. Went there a few times as a kid in the 80s. Revisited last year. It has changed a lot but was also the same as I remember it. Beautiful park. Atmosphere used to be a gentle observation tower - no longer! Great fun. Great video.
You forgot to visit the ghosthouse "Gasten". Sadly there was supose to be a waterpark finnished but there was a huge fire and it burnt down. They started to build it up again
Gaz is sadly scared of haunted house 😂 and yes we’re sad to hear that as we really wanted to visit! Hopefully when it opens we will get the opportunity!
The flume ride is such a weird ride. It's quite slow, not much is happening.. until the very end with the two drops, especially the last one. Everyone loves it and goes on several times in a row, myself included. It must be the water...
I was just there with my sister and her son, and her son's friend the other day, it's sort of a summer tradition that we try to visit Liseberg at least once every summer. :) Fantastic day. Sorry to see you didn't get to the giant swing ride Loke, I'm assuming it wasn't available on the day (or it just didn't make the video). I think Loke is actually up there with Helix as my favorite, but they're obviously two completely different rides so you can't really compare the two.
That’s such a lovely tradition! We didn’t go on Loke as we went on a similar one in Bangkok and felt ill after but it looked incredible for anyone seeking a thrill ride!
@@CezandGaz Yeah, Loke is absolutely insane. xD There's stuff I just refuse to ride as well, I haven't any problem with nausea, but if I know the fear will outweigh the joyful thrill, I'm not going..!
bro i went here every summer when i was a kid (i live 3h drive away) and this video made me so nostalgic for some rides like flumeride and balder thank you
@@CezandGaz Yes, but unfortunately, you don't always appreciate things you are too close to, but take it a little for granted... 🫣 But of course we have been there quite a bit when we were younger and especially since when the children were younger! 😍
There used to be a darkride called Sagoslottet (the Fairytale Castle), which they closed down to expand the Norse mythology section of the park. The animatronics and the ship-like wagons that you sit on has been saved and stored. You can watch a ride-along of it on RU-vid. Another thing that I remember as a kid is that there used to be Mickey Mouse museum. Owned and curated by the actor/artist/director/sing & songwriter Lasse Åberg. This was during the 90's. The museum aka. mouseum moved to a place outside of Stockholm. Lasse Åberg acted as one of the consults for the game Epic Mickey. He got a visit by the game director Warren Spector, who he helped to find inspiration amongst all of his Mickey Mouse/Disney vintage memorabilia.
@@kristianskold3311 finally someone remembers hahaha. Thought I was the only one. Yeah, it was super weird, but I remember me liking that part even though it was kind of scary weird too.
No Lisebergsbanan? It's the most iconic one there and the creator of it said it's his favourite roller coaster he made. For me, it's almost always the first one I ride. The view is spectacular!
We actually did just at the very end, and there was no queue so we hopped straight in without recording 😢 we really enjoyed that too and we went at night so was a very unique experience!
Liseberg is my favourite over all ( if you don’t count Disney and all of them) I live in Sweden but I live closer to tivoli in kopenhagen but we drive every summer to Liseberg. I love it ❤
Haven't been to Liseberg in many many years, wasn't even aware of 3 rides on this video. Should maybe visit it this summer. I think 1 ride disappears everytime they build a new one so only a limited time to try them all.
4:25 that one is a really fun ride! That and Lisebergbanan are my favourites! Balder was also a really fun one. I was in the front on my Felix ride and it was meh, I would likely have enjoyed it more in the back. I was also alone on the Felix so it was probably a big reason why it felt "meh" as well.
We loved lisebergsbanan but we forgot to record it 🥲 I think our favourite was either helix or Valkyrie. Kallerado was also really good just because of how funny it was seeing everyone get soaked 💦
Sadly this yeasrs newest atrasction Oceasnia a waterpark burned down just berfore it was supposed to open but they will rebuild it and it will open in a couple of years the cost for the water park was around 1B yes a B as in billion SEK
I haven't been there since pre-pandemic, I haven't seen that ride with the cars and motorcycles but it looked fun, does anyone know if that has replaced the jukebox ride? That was my favorite ride growing up
@@CezandGaz yea at first anyways! First years we got free-pass to all rides everyday if we wanted, but usually you weren’t that eager to go there a workday. But used it a couple of days every season. Free entrees of course. Then at start we got like 100 rides and a bunch of entrees for family and friends. But after a few years it was smaller to give away. But still great perks in the park too like discounts etc. fun parties. But yea lol it was a while ago so probably changed a bit 😅
Haven't been on any rides since Balder was new 😂. Must be around 20 years or so. I've been in tge park many times though, Liseberg are actually very good at booking cool artist and all it cost is the entrance fee.
@@CezandGaz I live here and have for the last 39 years so the pull it once had have kinda evaporated over the years. I still visit the park for other things though, like the autumn and winter market, and for music & beer. Maybe I will try out Helix and Valkyria when I'm there the next time.
@@CezandGaz It´s over 50 years old. All that they have said that they are going to buy a new attraction. If its a new logride or not do not tell the tail
Atmosfear really isn't worth it. Takes forever to get to the top just to fall 1.7 seconds. It seems like you're higher up than you actually are because it's on top of a hill
The price varies during the season. Peak season it's 595 SEK but off season it's 365 SEK. Also, queues in the peak season are sometimes an hour long. So go there off season.
