Lisebergshjulet

Lisebergshjulet, Ferris wheel in Liseberg amusement park, Sweden.

Lisebergshjulet is a ferris wheel within the Liseberg amusement park that rises approximately 60 meters high with multiple passenger cabins. Each cabin holds eight people and provides wide views across Gothenburg's cityscape and the surrounding waters.

The idea came from city council chairman Göran Johansson, inspired by the Wheel of Manchester. The wheel was erected on Kanaltorget between 6 and 16 April 2010 and inaugurated on 22 May 2010, the day of Göteborgsvarvet. In spring 2012 it was moved to Liseberg, reopening there on 28 April 2012 as Lisebergshjulet.

The wheel's nicknames come from local humour: its Kanaltorget site was called Hjultomten, and the wheel itself Högfärden and Rullevi. On 18 July 2012, during the 38th Gothia Cup, it hosted a Guinness-record attempt with 72 nationalities riding at once, organised by Liseberg, SKF and Gothia Cup.

The wheel stands on Liseberg's grounds after being moved there from Kanaltorget in spring 2012; it reopened on 28 April 2012 at the park's season opening. Each of the 42 gondolas seats eight passengers and has air conditioning with adjustable vents. The ride is outdoors, so weather affects the experience.

On 18 July 2012 the wheel was used to set a Guinness world record for the most nationalities on a ride, during the 38th Gothia Cup: 72 nationalities rode it at once, far above the previous record of 50. The attempt was a collaboration between Liseberg, SKF and Gothia Cup and was overseen by a Guinness representative.
