Uppskjutet, Amusement ride in Liseberg, Sweden
Uppskjutet was a roller coaster at Liseberg amusement park in Gothenburg. The ride used a launch system to accelerate passengers before sending them through sharp curves and steep descents.
The roller coaster opened in 1996 as one of the park's most modern attractions at the time. It operated for nearly two decades before closing permanently in 2015.
Swedish amusement parks like Liseberg incorporate advanced mechanical engineering principles, reflecting the nation's commitment to technological innovation in entertainment facilities.
This former attraction no longer operates, but Liseberg park remains accessible via public transportation and parking in Gothenburg. Visitors can explore the location and enjoy other active rides in the park.
The name translates directly to 'The Launched' and described the ride's launch mechanism. This straightforward naming approach was typical for Swedish attractions built during that period.
