Lisebergbanan, Steel roller coaster in Liseberg amusement park, Sweden
Lisebergbanan is a steel roller coaster at Liseberg amusement park in Gothenburg, standing 45 meters tall with a track length of 1,548 meters. The ride climbs, dives, and turns through the park, reaching speeds of 80 kilometers per hour along its path.
The coaster opened in April 1987 through a partnership between manufacturers Zierer and Anton Schwarzkopf. This collaboration marked an important moment for modernizing Swedish amusement parks during that decade.
The station building draws from railway heritage, with dining spaces housed inside replica train cars and cargo compartments. Visitors experience meals where passengers and freight would have been loaded, creating a playful connection to transport history.
The ride operates multiple trains moving continuously throughout the day with good capacity for moving groups. Plan to arrive early or visit during quieter periods if you prefer shorter wait times at this popular attraction.
A chain lift malfunction in 2006 led to comprehensive safety upgrades that enhanced the ride's engineering systems. Today it operates with reinforced protective measures that set it apart from coasters of its generation.
