In November, Liseberg announced that Kaninlandet (the Rabbit Land) – Liseberg’s children’s area – would be expanded in 2020. Today, Liseberg proudly presents Underland – the underground world of the rabbits – a major new family dark ride, as part of this expansion.
The new dark ride will take guests underground to experience the rabbits’ secret world, and will be the largest investment for families since Liseberg built the Rabbit Land in 2013.
In total, SEK 200 million will be invested in the children’s area in 2020 and the largest part, SEK 150 million, will be spent on this new dark ride.
The dark ride will be located where the Children’s Theatre previously was located, and will take visitors through a number of fantastical environments.
David Schofield, Creative Director at Liseberg:
“Since the Rabbit Land was built in 2013, our guests have got to know the characters above ground. What the rabbits have done underground have been a secret – until now.”
Underland will be the 14th attraction in the children’s area and first dark ride that Liseberg has built in more than 40 years.
Andreas Andersen, CEO & President at Liseberg:
“With the introduction of Valkyria in 2018, we had to remove an old children’s dark ride, Sagoslottet (the Fairy tale castle). We promised our guests that we would replace this with something bigger and better. That's what we are doing now. With the new Dark Ride Underland we will set new standards for this type of experience in Sweden.”
Underland will open in Spring 2020.
