Spinrock, Amusement ride in Liseberg, Sweden
Spinrock was an amusement ride at Liseberg that lifted riders upward while spinning them in multiple directions. The combination of vertical movement and rotation created intense physical sensations throughout the experience.
Spinrock was built in 2002 on the east side of the Mölndalsån at Liseberg, in the same area as Kållerado, Balder and Kanonen. In September 2016 the park announced that the last chance to ride was 18 September 2016. It was then dismantled to make room for the ride Loke and has since been scrapped.
Spinrock's name combines spinning with rock, matching the ride's rotating seats and swinging arm. It stood on the east bank of the Mölndalsån, in the same area as Kållerado, Balder and Kanonen, and its 2016 removal made way for the Loke ride.
Spinrock stood on the east side of Mölndalsån, in the same area as Kållerado, Balder and Kanonen, so it was reached on foot within the park. The last chance to ride was 18 September 2016, after which the ride was dismantled to make room for Loke; nothing of it remains to board today.
The arm's 24 seats sat in six inward-facing benches on a circle spinning about 12 times a minute, while the arm tilted up to 115 degrees each way. The ride was dismantled after 18 September 2016 to make room for Loke, and it has since been scrapped.
