Sorry that should be 1752 at the 0:20 mark. I also want to apologize if I mispronounced Liseberg. I had been told the G was silent, but it sounds like it isn't.

Liseberg also opens the park specifically for Halloween and Christmas. During Halloween they redecorate a lot of the park to look extra spooky. For Christmas they offer a pretty sizeable christmas market and of course they decorate it as a winter wonderland

Liseberg is a fantastic park and deserves the great praise you've given. It's absolutely Sweden's best amusement park! A must to visit if you're in Gothenburg!

When Helix was first introduced I believe I needed to wait 3.5h in line xD

Some added points to the video: The VR-headsets are removed on Atmosfear from this year, so operations will probably be quicker. There is also really hard to get qualified chefs in Sweden, so not only the park but a lot of restaurants have problems to get good chefs which in turn leads to good food. Liseberg opened their own cooking school last year though where around 20 people interested in cooking started an education in the park to learn how to cook. They got an full-time employment right away and after one year as trainee's and another year where they get a specialization they will continue to work in the restaurants in the park. So with more educated chefs the park in turn can make more from scratch which most likely will taste better. I think it's a really cool way to fix the problem with few qualified chefs. Instead of waiting for someone else to fix the shortage, the park takes the lead to fix it themselves, and on top of that gives some passionate home cooks a full time employment from the first day of study🙌

I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in our town, despite it looking like a building site especially around Liseberg! I really liked your breakdown and technical description of the rides - many aren't aware of the different classifications of rides! Not that it really matters, but the park offers a big arcade hall too - perfect for escaping the sun or for a tournament among friends. Edit: lmao, I'm seeing a lot of my fellow Swedes pointing out your pronounciation - don't take it to heart and don't let it hinder you! Btw, what (worthwhile) amusement and/or themeparks get you the most bank for your buck?

Absolutely adored this place. So beautiful, such unique rides, and there really is something for everyone. Outside the coasters and flats, Underlandet and the scare maze also blew me away, plus the water rides are wonderful

i remember i went to this park as a kid, had to do a 23 hour roadtrip from norway to get there, but it was all worth it when we got there. i still have good memories from this place.

Flumride was indeed slated for removal after the 2023 season. The ride's 50th birthday. They stated the concrete foundations are so worn that it's not really possible to renovate them any more. As Flumride is the most popular ride in the park, and has been for 50 years, they continued the statement with a pledge to re-build the ride. A few months later however they gave out a new statement saying they will wait a few years before removing Flumride.

I love liseberg purely from all the vids you have made about the rides and park, big bucket list park for me

Another thing that is great about Liseberg is that it is owned by Gothenburg municipality(hope i got that word right). This might seem like nothing special, but since it is basically the towns property it means that it has much more safety regulations than other themeparks (such as Gröna Lund, which is a standalone themepark) because the government would not want to be known for having an unsafe themepark (obviously). Remember, the chances of you dying on a safely built rollercoaster are 1 in around 750million, so please stop being afraid of rollercoasters!"!!!!!! (also great video btw)

Interesting history. What a awesome park. So nice and appealing.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

as someone who lives in Gothenburg its nice to see the amusement park getting some more eyes on it

I dont know why but listening to this video is extremely pleasant and calming!

Thank you, this is such a helpful guide! I'm from Sweden and my family used to go to Liseberg once every year when I was growing up (the highlight of my summer), but I haven't been there since becoming an adult. I just recently visited for the first time again and so much has changed! I'll have to rewatch this video before going this summer 🤣

Am i the only one who chuckled every time he said liseberg-banan bcs he pronounced it as “banana” 😭 fyi, it’s bAnan, not banAn 👍

The G at the end of "Liseberg" is not completely silent. It is a soft sound akin to how you would pronounce the "Y" in many words in English such as in "You" or "Hey"

I love your reviews. God bless you brother.

I'm visiting Liseberg coming summer, as well as Farup Sommerland and Tivoli Gardens on my honeymoon :) Really looking forward to it.

Nice video dude🇸🇪

What i really like with Lisseberg is the geography its not flat so rides use the changing terrain. If you dont like height this is a great park to start enjoying rollercoadters

Great review. It's a great park and you do get some fair amount of rides even at highest load. My father used to take me as a kid. Now so many years later it's still on my yearly bucket list. And finally my kids are reaching the age (and hight) enabling them for the roller coasters! 1/9 we go again, Woho!

this park is so pretty. hope one day to go here

I went there on a school trip back in 6th grade and towards the end of the night the park was almost empty so we could just ride helix over and over again without waiting in line at all, good memories man...

If your name is Lise Berg, you get a lifetime free access to Liseberg. Liseberg got its name due to a naming contest, where a secretary named Anna Grötting was the one that came up with the winning name suggestion. There were names that failed to get chosen, such as Lustgården (The Garden of Lust), Gladevi, Penningödsla and Nöjesfältet (The Amusement Park). To coincide with Liseberg's 100th anniversary, Liseberg released a book called Liseberg The Heart of Gothenburg Since 1923 (released in English and Swedish). Similar to the book Gothenburg 400: An Illustrated History.

I love these Scandinavian parks. Liseberg, Grona Lund and Tivoli Gardens to name a few are immaculate, well maintained and run plus they have so many unusual attractions. I much prefer parks that are immaculately clean, well run with unapologetically un-themed rides than many other 'so called' theme parks with poor, tatty theming applied to really quite mediocre over hyped rides.

Beautiful Park. Jimi Hendrix performed there before, as has Beach Boys, Rolling Stones and Zepplin.

Haven't been there in a long time, last in 2015. I really need to get back there !!

Great review! Do you have a Disneyland Paris review yet?

The best visit to Liseberg I've ever had was with our class like 20 years ago. It must have been in 2003 or 2004 because Balder was fairly new. It was very early in the season on a normal work day so we were almost alone in the park. We could ride many of the attractions multiple times in a row because there were no queues. The exception was Balder were we had to wait maybe 10 min between the rides.

I once dropped a hat under the Luna station. And then i asked them on Email if they could send it to me on mail. And thats what they did. Now thats what i call service

Great clips from the park and surroundings! Specific kids rides closes at 21 as an added info.

i was at liseberg this spring and i can 100% confirm that the staff is super nice. i was in the line for Balder and one guy skipped the line. when he did that the guy who was watching an launching the coaster said " sorry king but now you need to go back in the line" he was nce even though that guy had broken the rules he was still pleasant.

Woah they added a virtual queue? That wasn't there last time i visited with dad...around...8 years ago? Time flies fast, i hope i can visit again someday...when my expenses arent at their limit, and when im in better shape hahaha

It's a great amusement park!

Liseberg SLAPS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The nearby water park is fire tho! Literally blew up earlier this year 💀💀

i got a yearspass for 120usd lol, its so fun here to go with friends it takes me one hour by train and tram from my city.

As for pricing of rides, i belive you can buy tickets as a per ride baisis. 10kr per ride or something and not buy the wristband for complete access. if you want that option aswell

Just want to clarify the pronounciation: The "g" in "Liseberg" is *not* silent in Swedish, rather its placement in the word changes it so it sounds like "j". The "e" in "berg" is also made to sound like the letter "'ä" (or æ), so the more accurate pronunciation would be "Li-se-bär-j". Valkyria's paid lockers is definitely a shocker since it wasn't always like this. Up until at least 2021, it was free. It's not super expensive (5 SEK for two hours), but it's still annoying that it's basically an upcharge attraction if you have a bag with you. FlumeRide isn't going anywhere, at least for the moment. I believe this stems from confusion over wether Luna (or "Project Luna" as it was called before it was announced) was going to be a coaster or a replacement for FlumeRide, when it ended up being the former. The ride is showing its age, though.

Kinda looks like a park outa RCT3

Last time I went there in 2017 there were a lot of walking tents about. Pretty different to how it was compared to 2004.

Having grown up only about an hour away from Liseberg (and still living in the same town, though with a 5,5 year break in the mid 2000's to early 2010's) Liseberg was a staple of my childhood, teenage and young adulthood. I have to say though that Liseberg was at its hayday in the 90's and early 2000's (and probably before, but with me being born in 1985, I can only speak for the years I experienced), I felt the park went meh in the 2010's when some very classic favorites were removed, and the park became too focused on very wild rides with fewer more inclusive rides, there's too much spinning around now and coasters with a lot of tossing around. As someone now living with a physical disability and being an ambulatory wheelchair user, I'll also have to mention that there are a fair bit of issues with accessibility in the park, much due to the hilly terrain. I know they can't change the terrain in the park, but I do wish they'd offer the option to rent or borrow an electric wheelchair (like an Eloflex) so disabled guests can get around the park a bit more independently, and also sort some better transportation up from ground level to the ferris wheels and tower. Flumride is one of the best rides in the entire park, even with it being one of if not the oldest ride still in operation. Lisebergbanan and Balder are/were other favorites of mine. Some of my old favorites are long gone... Also, when I grew up, the park would be open until midnight at least in the weekends in summer, and by closing time, there were fireworks to end the day. Between the increased prices, longer queues, shorter opening hours, fewer enjoyable rides (I don't do spinning or coasters with a lot of twists on it, both because I don't like it and because I shouldn't) I just don't go any longer. Last time I went was when they closed the summer season in 2013 which was their 90th anniversary season, and then I went for thr Christmas market the same year and that was it, that Christmas visit was just not good (while I had been having a great time earlier years)

Flumerides removal was moved 1 year forward but it will be replaced with another ride (probably another water ride)

There was a "school day" once where only classes was alowed!! Like a "end of the school year" thingy xD Almost no queues and totaly relaxed!!!! (if I remember correctly xD) And bring food!! its realy expensive and not that great... There are a nicer restaurant at almost the start (big entrance, not carpark) but expensive........ You can bring a bag with snacks and sandwiches and put it in a locker and get it later!! And not that many places to actualy sit to rest!!! If you have problems with that then it would be good to mayby bring something like a mini foldable chair :)

I go there basicly every year. There are only 2 bad things. First is the food, it's just a stressful part of the day and the go-to fastfood place is really crowded and unfresh. The second is the lines to the rides, last time I was really lucky and could just go almost straight to the ride on both Valkyria and Helix. But most of the time you will spend in lines, searching for the best food place or walking cus it's so big.

But how did you buy cheaper ticket just for the evening? On their website I see tickets only for the full day

I'm surprised liseberg didn't choose to add moving buns to valkyria like what my home park canada's wonderland dud with yukon striker

Best in europe is a hot take with parks like Phantasialand, Port Aventura, Energylandia, Europa Park or even Walibi Holland around But anyways Liseberg is phenomenal

0:20, that would be 1752, not 1952. 0:29, the G isn't really silent, we pronounce it as a sort of J or Y-sound, like the Y in Yale. So kind of Liseberj. But its fine just saying Liseberg with a hard G in English.

The G at the end is not silent, it just sounds like a J. Liseberj

3:44 these buses are in a city on the other side of the country lol

So this park charges admission to enter and a separate admission to ride the attractions? I think Tivoli Gardens does that also. Is this common with European parks? It's a shame that Oceana burnt to the ground because it looked like it was poised to be one of the best indoor waterparks in Europe. Did they announce what caused the fire and how long it will take to rebuild?

I've got a Liseberg-day planned for this summer. Just me by myself (wife wasn't interested). It's been a few years since I was there and I'm really looking forward to it! Btw, think of the pronunciation of LISEBERG as the company name of a business where you can rent blueberries... "Lease a berry", said as one quick word: Leaseaberry. 😊

As a swede living in gothenburg i cannot say that car theft is common in the area. This is more common in the suburbs of the city during nighttime.

Lol I was so disappointed in Atmosphere. I went for the VR option but was stuck in the virutal lobby while the ride was going, so I was literally viewing the lobby while falling at full speed haha. They didn't even let me go again. Either way, people say it's better without the VR. But from my understanding it has now been removed.

I wouldn't say the G in Liseberg is silent, but G is sometimes pronounces as J in Swedish...So Liseberj

The best time to go is in september when all vaccations are over, on a week day.

I think that they should replace the helix trains with mack extreme spinning trains.

nice video, only issue is some pronounciations (which fair, swedish is hard) mainly liseberg and berg which is not pronounced"liseberry" but "liseberj" :D

Didn't you guys used to pronounce the name the way it's spelled? Or am I tripping?

When i was 14 i found a season pass to liseberg and a summer buss card in a wallet on the street, i took that shit as a reward and sent the wallet back to the owner. i was there a lot that summer.

I’m was born in Gothenburg the town where liseberg is located and I’ve never heard anyone saying liseberg whit a silent G

I'm not Swedish nor do I know anything about the Swedish language. That said, I don't think the explanation you provided for the pronunciation brings much clarity to English speakers. The letter before the silent G is an R, not a Y or E or I. So, to an English speaker, saying that the G is silent would lead most to pronounce the word as "Lee-see-bear." Saying that the G is silent doesn't explain why there is an "eee" sound added after the R. I wouldn't expect you to provide a detailed explanation of how the Swedish language works, but the explanation that you did provide also doesn't really make a lot of sense. In other words, with this explanation, the back half of the elephant is still in the room.

Nah helix does not have 45-60 min when i was there once me, my bro and my grandma waited about 2h

the federation bereu of investagation has aproved

the G is not silent. Im swedish, it isnt silent it becomes more of a J sound Liseberj

the g is not silent

Me, litterly living near by and go at least once a year, watching this like 👁👄👁

Almost as good as Willy Wonka Experience - Glasgow

You where there before the Explosion of Liseberg Oceana! Yes Lisebergs waterland that is located right next to lisebergs Curiosa hotel exploded: The cause of this was a weilder that weilded something and then it set on fire and BOOM. That worker is now sadly dead and the whole Oceana is like ruins! This costed liseberg i believe one million sek. Terrible news! :(

One CROWN, multiple COWNS. 1 krona, multiple KRONOR

The letter 'G' in Liseberg is not silent, it's pronounced like the Y in "Yak". Not that it matters, but in Swedish it sounds like you're saying "Liseberg Banana" when trying to say Lisebergbanan, although spelled the same, the syllable stress is way off. Thank you for an amazing review!

Sorry but the G is not silent. It is pronounced as a J, Liseberj not Liseberry. I am Swedish.

The G is not silent

Liseberry (( The Way It's Named In Swedish , And How You Name It )) Just Sounds Odd Given Most Call It , And What It's Mostly Known As " Liseberg " I Don't Know If It's Actually Spelled " Liseberry " , Because I Hear " Berry " Mostly In It Whenever You Say It. Great Review By The Way! :)

Your pronunciation is a bit (about a Swedish mile) off. I would think saying "Lee-se-bear-j" should approximate the correct pronunciation for English speakers.

Spelhuset???? LOL and candy games

No, the "G" in the name Liseberg is not silent when talking swedish.

its such a tragedy after the fire

I feel so bad about what happened with their water park, it just blew up somehow

The g isnt silent it just turns into a j liseberj

The G in Liseberg is not silent lmao 😭

the G in Liseberg is not silent. It's a j sound. It's not liseberry, it's liseberg. Whoever told you it's silent is just plain wrong.

The G is not silent, however its pronounced more like J LiseBERJ LiseBerGHJ

Liserberry

The g is not silent. You do say the g, sounds strange when the way you prenounce Liseberg

HAVING A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING HOW THE FREE SKIP THE LINE WORKS? NOBODY WANTS TO WAIT. SO WHAT IT 90 PERCENT OF THE PARK GUEST ARE TRYING TO USE THE VIRTUAL QUE?

I will defend this American against everyone complaining about his pronunciation. While yes it is true that the G is not silent, how could someone not a speaker of Swedish know this? The J in Swedish is a unique sound and does not equal J in English, nor does it equal Y in English. It is completely its own sound that just happens to use the same letter J as an English J, yet are not the same sound and all because the English J sound does not exist in Swedish. And on a second note, the pitch accent in words does not exist in English either. It is not natural for him to speak that way. Let’s give this man some massive credit for actually taking the time to listen, and trying his best to mimic sounds he has never had to make in his entire life. 👏

It´s not liseberry it´s liseber(g)

i'm sorry, i get that you're not swedish but i just can't get over how you pronounce Lisebergbanan. 😂😂

As a Swede who has been to Liseberg. It is not "Europe's best pure amusement park". There are better.

Why say it like that??!! Its not LiseBERRY!! It just sound so damn wrong xD

Liseberry

You pronounce it Lisa Berry. How is a silent G sound like a Y or IE? Wouldn't it be pronounced Lisebur? (Liseburg without the G) or do you know show to speak Swedish fluently? I just hope your wife doesn't about Lisa and her sweet berry. 😉

Naaah

what does pure amusement park mean? is there such a thing as an evil amusment park? EDIT: I WAS JOKING

You should practice at being more enthusiastic. It’s quite difficult to get through this video due to the dull voice over.

the g is very much not silent in swedish what do you mean 🧍🏼‍♂️🧍🏼‍♂️😭 its pronounced as a swedish j (like an english y as in yellow)
