Liseberg 2016 - Aerospin Sky Roller

[Paradox]

Liseberg will spend 170 million sek (20 million usd) on a new area called Lisebergs Tr??dg??rdar, Liseberg Gardens. The area is situated between Atmosfear and Flumeride (on the mountain I presume), and will include Victorian gardens, new walking areas, and garden caf??. The total area is 6310 sq m (68 000 sq ft) and of that 1900 sq m (20 500 sq ft) is different garden arrangements.

Inside Lisebergs Tr??dg??rdar a new play area for children, Barnens Paradis (Children's Paradise), will be built. This is actually the third time a play area with this name has existed at Liseberg. And inside Barnens Paradis a two-storey merry go round is found, Blomsterkarusellen. Both will be completely free to ride/use.

They are also getting a Gerstlauer Sky Roller:

In summer 2016, Liseberg will launch an interactive aeroplane ride in the newly installed area on Liseberg hill. AeroSpin is a thrilling plane ride 70 metres above sea level ??? with a twist. If you want, you can make your plane spin freely as many times as you choose ??? one, two... or forty rotations.

???The passenger in the plane controls their ride and decides what will happen. That???s what???s so great about AeroSpin,??? says Andreas Andersen, CEO, Liseberg. "The ride is what you make it ??? a pleasant trip with a sensational view of Gothenburg, a frenzied ride in a tumble drier or anything in between."

AeroSpin is a 35 metre high rotating tower with twelve arms, and two planes are attached to each arm. The planes have two levers, one for each wing, and the rider controls the plane and make it rotate sideways around its own axle. The attraction is being installed on Liseberg hill, so the plane rides take place roughly 70 metres above sea level. AeroSpin is a Sky Roller built by Gerstlauer of Germany, and is the world???s highest ride of its kind.

While AeroSpin is Liseberg???s highest new attraction opening in 2016, the new area where it is located, Liseberg Gardens, is one of the largest. 6,300 square metres on Liseberg hill have been converted from unused wasteland into well-groomed, inviting gardens. With beautiful plant beds and shady greenery these beautiful gardens have a Victorian feel. A new winding pathway has been built up the hill to make the climb easier. The new garden is part of the Gothenburg Green World project, in which Liseberg one of the six main partners.

While courageous visitors in Liseberg Gardens can enjoy the AeroSpin ride, younger visitors can visit Children???s Paradise, an exciting playground, and the Venetian Carousel, a double-decker merry-go-round. The area also includes a new caf?? and a picnic area. The Waltzer, which was already in the area, has been given a welcome makeover. A total of SEK 170 million will be invested in Liseberg in 2016.

???The best thing about Liseberg???s new attractions in 2016 is that they include something for everyone, from the youngest kids to their grandparents,??? says Andreas Andersen. "Children???s Paradise and the Venetian Carousel are free of charge."

AeroSpin and the new gardens will open on 23 April 2016, when Liseberg opens for the spring season.

Press Release

I'm unfamiliar with this park aside from major rides. Is this a disguised maintenance gig like Gatekeeper/Rougarou or a genuine addition?

[mkingy]

Not entirely sure, Jammy will maybe have more information. Can't wait to visit later this year though!

It feels like that render is all over the place.

"between Atmosfear and Flumeride"

I mean.... How are they going to fit all that in?

I think the Sky Roller will take the place of the two S&S towers which they removed, the new gardens area I don't really know.

Sorry for the double post but the park has released a teaser for the Sky Roller!



It says:

For centuries man has dreamed of flying
Many have tried
Now it's your turn

Hope that Sky Roller won't be the sketchy "Air Race"!

It won't be...

It's going to be a Gerstlauer Sky Roller not a Zamperla Air Race.

I found this video! One rider with a lot of courage spins like a pinwheel!

These rides are the best with a good gust of wind. The wind can simply turn this ride from awesome to OMGWTFBBQTHISISINSANE.

^ You got me excited!

Video of the ride at Gerstlauer's manufacturing plant was posted to the park's Facebook! If you look closely you can also see track and supports for Monster and a Sky Fly.

Also yay me I figured out how to embed Facebook videos.

Thanks for the update Paradox!

[Dirk_Ermen]

Looks nice and tall. Definitely going to be a wind-catcher when it's built on top of the mountain. <3

Is that ride going to be taller than the ride I've mentioned?

Is it just me or those planes look like angels taking you to the sky.

[Dirk_Ermen]

These rides are awesome by itself. Would love to see another shot looking straight down.

Official POV with amazing music from IMAscore!

[herman116]

The music sounds a bit generic to me. But I think it's still a good song for the ride.
