February 10, 201411 yr comment_176228 We're spending four days out there, two days for Liseberg (I'm betting Helix is worth the two days at the park) and the other two days are for cultural stuff. I doubt you'd need more then four days in Gothenburg itself. I'm doing the same. Grona Lund doesn't really appeal when one of its biggest coasters is a ZacSpin and I can't really find anything amazing to do in Gothenburg. Grona Lund is a lovely (if cramped) park, and I found Twister (super-twisty Gravity Group woodie), Kvasten (surprisingly-enjoyable Vekoma family suspended) and Zacspin (a bigger 32m Intamin Zacspin) all worth riding. It also has a rough Schwarzkopf and one of the best ghost trains I've been on in Tuff-Tuff Tåget! Whether it's worth the 470km journey over from Gothenburg though is debatable...
February 10, 201411 yr comment_176242 Oh my goodness! This looks absolutely sexual. I definitely have to get to Liseberg soon, never been. And look at the impact it'll have one Liseberg's skyline, absolutely phenomenal!

February 12, 201411 yr comment_176372 Its just such a shame the park is sooooo out of the way! Not really, it's pretty much right in the city? Way less of a mission to get to than Europa Park.
February 12, 201411 yr comment_176374 For me anywhere further than Alton Towers from Surrey is too far :/
February 13, 201411 yr comment_176387 Probably easier to get to than alton towers from where you are.
February 13, 201411 yr comment_176393 Can get a plane from any London based airport straight to Gothenburg... Then public transport it to the park in the middle of the city... Job's a good'un, much easier access than Towers... Probably takes about the same time too (assuming plane leaves at the same time as train from Euston to Stoke)... EDIT - As some pics to entice people to make the effort, go abroad, experience other parks, etc
February 13, 201411 yr comment_176411 Ease is less of a trouble for me, but potential costs, time and finding people to go with are bigger and less easily-solved problems to deal with... 2016 can't come soon enough for me...
February 13, 201411 yr comment_176419 I agree with Josh...with Alton Towers it is get in car and go...but parks abroad are more "planned" journeys. Maybe I'll gather the effort
February 19, 201411 yr comment_176868 Oh... My... This is going to be one of, if not the best coaster in Europe...
February 19, 201411 yr comment_176869 That coaster looks amazing! Something like that in BPB would be great IMO, snaking around the other coasters.
February 21, 201411 yr comment_176948 This really looks a further great excuse to visit this park, one day soon I hope.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_177390 That support is rather ugly, but the track itself still looks fab. To be fair, if the worse thing about this ends up being a dodgy-looking support, I don't think anyone's really going to have heart attacks over it.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_177400 And it looks VILE! The one flaw in this ride so far... *Cancels trip, goes to Sochi instead.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_177401 *Cancels trip, goes to Sochi Chessington instead. Edited for accuracy...
February 28, 201411 yr comment_177404 Apart from that hideous support, this looks like an amazing coaster with all those curves, twists, turns and that dark green track. I think Liseberg just entered my top 10 list of paths in Europe I gave to visit.
February 28, 201411 yr comment_177405 Edited for accuracy... I'd only get mildly irritated at Chessington, Sochi gives me the opportunity to ride Blue Fires yellow brother AND be arrested. And to make this on topic... Yay, go Liseberg. I can see my hotel I'm staying in.. just praying we have a room overlooking Helix. That would be so so so sweet.
