In 2023 Liseberg celebrates its 100-year anniversary, but the celebration begins in 2022 with a completely new themed area named Luna Park , as well as two new family rides, Turbo and Tempus.
A year later, the Luna family boomerang roller coaster will be added to the area. 2023 will also be marked by the opening of the Grand Curiosa Hotel.
At the top of the hill overlooking the park, the new area will be a tribute to the origins of Liseberg back in 1923; the grand world exhibitions, technical wonders, and captivating lighting.
Andreas Andersen , CEO of Liseberg:
“We are creating a completely new area, much like we did when we built The Rabbit Land in 2013. This time we are building an area for the whole family with several new attractions. The area is a tribute to the history of amusement parks and Liseberg - and a celebration worthy of a 100-year anniversary."
More than €10 million is invested in the area, and a total of three rides will be added, of which the first two will open next summer. Turbo and Tempus are both attractions suited for the whole family.
Tempus
Nebulaz ride by Zamperla - plays with time and space, and the four axes rotate in perfect harmony, taking you up and down and around with extraordinary precision.
Turbo
An interactive Sidecar XL carousel by Technical Park - you decide for yourself how fast and high you want the motorcycle and sidecar to go.
Luna
In time for the centennial in 2023, the last and biggest ride will then be added. Luna will be a Family Boomerang Coaster by Vekoma, where the train follows a 242m long track until a drop at a dead-end spike, and then back again. With its 33.5m tall spike Luna becomes the tallest and fastest (68km/h) of its kind in the world.
The area's theme has been inspired by centuries of amusement park tradition with hundreds of lamps and decorations. Such 'luna parks' have existed since the 1860s, often central and easily accessible parks with attractions, market stalls and games. Liseberg is interpreting this tradition and combining it with the park's own history.
David Schofield, Creative Director at Liseberg:
“Luna Park will be like its own little universe inside the amusement park, especially in the evening with all the lights. A beautiful and immersive environment with lots of lighting, elegant architecture, and the air of innovation.”
The first phase of Luna Park will open with the park on April 23, 2022.
