Liseberg
by Elin, Nathalie and Angelinne
Liseberg is the biggest amusement park in the
Northern Europe with about three million visitors per
year. It’s placed in Gothenburg and only around
Christmas the park has around half a million visitors!
The park was inaugurated and opened in 1923 and in
year 2010 Liseberg was the most popular place to visit
in Sweden. Today you can visit the park from the end
of April till the middle of October, and from the middle
of November till New Year.
In the summer there are about 35
amusement rides open and the most
popular is the “Lisebergbanan” (in
English: “The roller coaster of Liseberg”)
which is one of the oldest rides.
Balder is the biggest ride in the Northern
Europe which is built entirely in wood and
was opened in 2003. The ride has won
many awards, for example “The best
wooden ride in the world” and “European
Star Awards” which is for Europe’s best
roller-coaster in wood.
Flume ride is another popular ride at
Liseberg, and it consists of logs and
water. It starts out calm and peaceful but
then there are two steep downhills that
make the water splash all over you. In
the last and most steep downhill, a
camera snaps a photo of your moment of
fear and the result is usually a very funny
photo of you and your friends.
