Höjdskräcken

Höjdskräcken, Drop tower ride at Liseberg, Sweden.

Höjdskräcken was a free-fall ride at the Liseberg amusement park in Gothenburg. It shot passengers toward the ground rather than letting them fall by gravity alone, which produced a higher speed than a conventional free-fall ride. At 60 metres it was one of Gothenburg's tallest structures, standing on the hill near the Pariserhjulet and Uppskjutet rides.

Höjdskräcken was one of three Liseberg attractions, along with the Pariserhjulet Ferris wheel and Uppskjutet, that closed and were dismantled after the summer season of 2015. The ride stood 60 metres tall on the park's hill, making it one of Gothenburg's highest structures during its operation.

The Swedish name means 'fear of heights' and captures the nervous anticipation visitors felt before riding. This choice reflects how the ride played on people's psychological reactions.

Höjdskräcken stood on the Liseberg hill beside the Pariserhjulet ferris wheel and the Uppskjutet ride. All three closed and were dismantled after the summer season of 2015, so nothing remains to visit. The tower reached 60 metres, making it one of Gothenburg's tallest structures at the time.
