After a while I continue with part 2 of this trip report:
August 6th: Liseberg After arriving in Göteborg in the evening of August 5th, we took the tram from the train station to our hotel and went directly past Liseberg, in fact, our hotel was almost next to Liseberg, just on the other side of the highway.
The next morning we went to the supermarket for breakfast and had a great view of the park. With a satisfied stomach we then headed for Liseberg. After getting our wristbands, we headed to the back of the park for Balder, because the park was already open for 30mins by the time we got there and the major rides in the front had some decent Q's. After about a 10-15 min wait we sat in the train. The ride was good, but nothing spectacular. Don't get me wrong, I like Balder and its great airtime, but that's it, there is just nothing else there, just the airtime, and the boring curves, it is just so repetitive.
We then took the rear escalator up to Aerospin and rode it, since it was a walk-on. My Mum made a gently view flight and I, well, everyone knows

Unfortunately the flip-counter wasn't working, but I'd guess around 10 flips, I still wanted my stomach to get through the other rides.
We went over to Helix, but decided to do the Gyro Drop first, since the Q for Helix was around 50mins. Atmosfear looks very impressive with it's height and theming, but it's just your standard Intamin Gyro Drop. After a great Burger from MAX we went down to ride Lisebergbanen, a fun, tall, long and smooth Schwarzkopf classic. I love how it interacts with the terrain and the other rides.
We continued to the back, heading for Valkyria. It was now doing a lot of test runs and there went a train over the track like every minute. But on this day it kept closed for public, since the opening was on 10th and here it was the 6th. It's sad, but the ride still looks impressive, especially the overbank.
Here I made a video of a test run. By now I hadn't made Helix, so it was time to ride it. The board said 20-30mis by now, but it still was a 45min wait we later realized, but it was worth it. Probably the wrong displayed Q was due to the new seat belts, which had slowed the operations down. At least you could hear the phenomenal music from IMAscore, which sounds even better in the q-line than if you listen to it at home. And now, let's take a ride.
The ride starts right out of the station into a corckscrew. After a long turn you reach the first launch, or how I like to call it: straight uphill track with constant speed. It's so weak, probably your standard everyday car accelerates better than the launches of Helix. Well, then you hit some more inversions, two camelbacks with some nice air, and you twist down into an helix. After the second straight uphill track with constant speed you get to the highest point of the ride, the inverted top hat with some good hangtime. After that comes my favorite element, the 3rd camelback with some insane airtime

. After a rather pointless s-curve you get to the finale with a good Mack heartline-roll. It is a very good Mack coaster and also ranking high under my ridden coasters, but sorry, Taron is just better.
After some more rides on Helix my mother went back to the hotel, since she got tired. I then made the kiddie credits, made some more rides on Balder and Lisebergbanen and finally some Helix nightrides until the park closes. While the line for Helix closed around 20mins earlier, I then made 2 more rides on Atmosfear after my last Helix ride to end the day.
It was a great day, even though it was raining a little and Valkyria wasn't open, but I had my fun.

- Goodnight Liseberg, I had a very pleasant day and I will come back some time in the future.
End of part 2, soon I'll continue with the next park on this trip. A small hint, even though probably all know it already. It is in number of rides the smallest park, but the most anticipated one for me.
