Liseberg tower, Television tower in Göteborg, Sweden
Liseberg tower is a structure within the Liseberg amusement park that rises above the surrounding landscape and functions as a thrill ride following its conversion in 2011. The construction combines a vertical shaft with an underground section, where riders descend through a large opening tunnel.
The original structure was built in 1990 as a pure observation point, offering city views for decades. Its conversion to a drop ride in 2011 gave it an entirely new function and transformed it into a thrill attraction.
The tower forms part of Liseberg amusement park, which stands as the largest entertainment destination in Scandinavia with three million annual visitors.
Visitors ride an elevator upward and then exit the seat to glide downward through a controlled fall motion. The ride delivers intense sensations in a short span of time and requires riders to be physically suited for this type of experience.
The ride uses an underground chamber with a large circular opening through which passengers plummet at high speed. This subterranean construction is a rare feature in such attractions and makes the experience distinctive.
