- čas přidán 16. 05. 2020
- In early September we visited Liseberg, a fantastic theme park in Sweden! During our trip we were lucky enough to be given a behind the scenes tour of the park by Pontus; allowing us to go inside of operator cabins, maintenance sheds, and much more! In this video, Harry discusses the countless facts told during the experience by Pontus, as well as some of the activities that we got up to! A huge thanks goes to Pontus and Liseberg for giving us the tour.

Pontus is an absolute legend!
I couldn't agree more!
Sooo true
You‘re a legend silv!
I agree with you sillv
HE IS A GOD!
Very interesting and well-edited video Harry! Liseberg have actually filed plans for an expansion with a possible hyper coaster. I will be making a video on it soon if anyone is interested :)
Please do that.
Thank you! And oh really, when did they file those plans?
@@coasterbot August of last year it seems like
Pontus is a great guy, he’s always been amazing for me personally when visiting Liseberg and for PBE too.
He really is! Liseberg as a whole is amazing too :)
The Man. The myth.. the Legend.. Pontus is such a great guy and a real encyclopedia when it comes to Liseberg 👌🏻
He really is, he's awesome!
The hospitality from Liseberg is unparalleled. Great video.
I couldn't agree more, and thank you :)
Love the stidown video concept and I can't wait for the standup, flying, wing, floorless, invert and surf variants.
Inverted video is next ;)
Wow, so much insider info in one video! I would love to experience a backstage tour like this one day!
They're really awesome! Often roller coaster clubs hold them in conjunction with parks, so perhaps look into that :)
1:57 Ultimate Coaster X is getting some love!
Really enjoyed this style of video and hearing some interesting behind the scenes stuff!
Thanks! We'll look into trying to get more of these videos done, who knows :)
Very interesting video! Loved the little facts =D
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
I got 15 years before Balder goes bye-bye? Damn. Awesome video, Harry. Liseberg always seems so enthusiast friendly. It's awesome.
Exactly! And thank you. It really is an enthusiast friendly park :)
Keep the content coming its great!
Very Interesting! Would love to see more 'Behind the Scenes' videos like this!
Thanks for the feedback! I'll see what we can do about making more of these at other theme parks :)
I remember seeing the "evolution of helix" video a few years ago. It's really cool that you actually bring it up! But it got me thinking that Liseberg was ready to build a Mega/hyper coaster on top of the hill. So maybe after their current investments in the hotel and waterpark are finished they will be willing to build a new giant coaster on the hill. And if so, would it perhaps be an RMC t-rex?
Who knows! Honestly I'd like to see the park continue to stick to rides that aren't that tall because Valkyria dominates the skyline right now and that looks awesome.
That park has a great history and ride line-up. Really need to go there soon!
It really does and it's definitely worth visiting. It was one of the nicest theme park vibes I've experienced so far. :)
hmm, that's interesting.
Epic video! On the soundproofing of operator booth's. For Rock 'n Rollercoaster they did the same, there is minimal sound leakage into the operator cabin (Tower position) but it is nice and quiet while dispatching the soundtrackers.
That's really cool :)
Definitely need to get over there looks awesome
It really is!
Well this a never built hyper coaster in liseberg on Insane Rollercoasters they Never Built?
If it were built, it would ruin Gothenburg's skyline
We love Pontus!
Definitely! :)
Really enjoyed that one Harry . I bet that was a fantastic day , we love behind the scenes stuff🧱👍🏼
Thanks guys, we really did have a fantastic day :)
COASTER BOT 🤩🧱👍🏽
Big up Pontus! and you Harry! nearly 50k wooooo
Thank you, we are close to 50k, it's crazy!
I have never been on a major Mack Coaster (Only Mack Being Dark Knight at my Homepark GADV) or an RMC so I definitely wanna ride this one day
Wait if Helix’s trains were designed by Liseberg, then what did the original trains look like for Blue Fire?
Not as sleek, more boxy in their design. Take a look at some photos of Blue Fire!
The Great American Scream Machine at SFOG also has a timer e-stop. I think it was 50 seconds or less from lift to main brake... but it was so long ago I cannot be sure. Ive had to call maintenance due to an overspeed several times lol. It usually happened after it rained, or early in the morning in August/September when the weather was cooler.
It's a really interesting fact actually! Thanks for sharing :)
This is such a great video! Also - this is such a better format seeing you in the video as well - it makes is way more personal and less static!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, we've got quite a few of these 'sit down' videos across the channel now :)
having worked as a ride mechanic on a B&M dive they have 4 Road Wheels per car, two per bougie so 12 per train! Or 30,000 euros. in my experience the wheels hold up pretty well and only need changed maybe once a season. sounds like you got a great tour though and I will defiantly have to visit this park if i ever make it over to Europe
Sounds like an awesome job, thanks for the additional information. Liseberg is definitely worth a visit :)
“Hello I’m back with another sit-down video.”
Hey can we get an stand-up video? Maybe an invert, wing, dive, who knows?
Wouldn't recommend a floorless video.
I'll make an inverted video next
COASTER BOT Nice. Better be fast paced, SUPER intense too.
I'd love to get a behind the scenes at Liseberg one time
nice video
Thanks :)
I know there was once a plan of building a B&M hyper styled rollercoaster along side Nellickevägen (street name) on the south section of the park that houses a lot of warehouses.
Oh really? That's very interesting
Interesting
Thanks :)
Liseberg is so classy with everything they do, and I'm not surprised they treated you so well. How did you personally find the vest restraints on Valkyria? I've not done a dive with vest restraints yet and am interested to know whether Liseberg were right to go with these compared to the standard overheads.
The valkyria vest restraints are pretty good honestly! They don't push on you too much. The drop loses some of the free fall feeling because of them but the rest of the layout is great :)
@@coasterbot Great, thanks for the reply!
Wow it looks amazing as a mega coaster it looks like it would of had lots of airtime from the thumbnail
Yeah I'm sure it would have been awesome, but Helix is super awesome too!
Okay so about that thing with Lisebergsbanan...
Any idea of what health and safety regulations it would break? I assume it probably has to do with clearance or the breaks at the end being that sudden.
Can you do an invert video?
Sure ;)
Hmm Nice video😍👍
Thanks! :)
@@coasterbot graag gedaan
The suit 😂
Liseberg"banana" is the first real big coaster i did and it is special
It's a very cool ride!
Can you do a Gröna Lund Explained??
I'll note that down, thanks for the suggestion :)
I would love to go to this park. My dream is to go to Europe and visit the main park but I doubt that’ll happen
It's a beautiful park, I hope you do get to visit one day :)
I have a question where did rollercoasters get the name “rollercoasters” why did they get named them?
Now that's an interesting question! :)
There are several explanations of the name roller coaster. It is said to have originated from an early American design where slides or ramps were fitted with rollers over which a sled would coast. This design was abandoned in favor of fitting the wheels to the sled or other vehicles, but the name endured.
Another explanation is that it originated from a ride located in a roller skating rink in Haverhill, Massachusetts in 1887. A toboggan-like sled was raised to the top of a track which consisted of hundreds of rollers. This Roller Toboggan then took off down gently rolling hills to the floor. The inventors of this ride, Stephen E. Jackman and Byron B. Floyd, claim that they were the first to use the term "roller coaster".
(Taken from a Wikipedia article on the etymology of roller coasters.)
Oh i thought it was a floor less video
Turn on rotation lock and put your phone upside down and then it’s inverted
This is a fantastic comment
What park in Europe would you suggest for a thrill seeker
PortAventura in Spain is a fantastic park for thrill rides and roller coasters :)
@@coasterbot thanks I'll have a look at it
Do what is leviathan
I'll note that down, thanks for the suggestion :)
When we getting another diss track m8?
Ha ha maybe one day! ;)
guys I'm from 15 years in the future, Balder just closed forever very sad day...
Yikes!
You will have 100k by the end of juli 2020 if you keep uploading. Proof me wrong than or say I'm right.
I wish but sadly that won't happen. Let's aim for 50K by July 2020! ;)
@@coasterbot If you want advice, the videos that were baic, explaining how things work did verry well. Maybe make something explaining how it lifts us up and how it can not fall or roll back. It is basic, nobody knows and much peaple probably want to know.
@@coasterbot 7 out of 10 of your top videos ever are explained videos.
Sure I know what works, making videos explaining parts about rides that people are scared of do well. But I don't want to do that all of the time. There's lots of interesting aspects to roller coasters and I want to cover a range of topics :)
@@coasterbot I get that. It's just a hint. Maybe another thing you could do is make a poll to see what topic or thing peaple want to see the most
Andreas ruined it man ahahahah
Lisberg is great park, helix music is great and others, sadly no soundtrack for latest one
It is a great park! Valkyria does have a soundtrack, an IMAscore one too! :)
Yes but not for sell
However this Liseberg's Mega coaster concept was recently rejected by Harry for COASTER BOT and Aquour Fans due to controversy and trouble results of Final Love Live! in Europe?
Harry, answer this question:
What’s in the shed?
Trains are on the maintenance shed, I can tell you that ;)
Its sad, balder is gonna collapse prob, it has been closed since ages ago
They've been replacing the rides track. The park plans to get Balder open before the end of summer this year :)
i heard about it some days ago! I am really happy because i have never had a chance to ride it
Hey Harry. I can't help but notice the white stringy stuff between your lips as you talk. It's not the first video where I've seen it so I had to say something. Otherwise, great video. Thanks!
It's called saliva. Sadly our high quality camera combined with the close up nature of the shot leaves little to the imagination with regards to my face ha ha
“theyre not supposed to be launches” yeah they are they just fail to be
what
Sapfire they fail to give the kick of a launch but they are launches
They keep the momentum of the train going. Helix has some of the best pacing of any roller coaster I've ever ridden and it's thanks to the launches that that's the case!
@@coasterbot I'm going there in july, we had a flight planned and we cant cancel it. wait, is liseberg even open?
Nice Face!
Thanks :)
Being the biggest park in Sweden sounds a lot like being the best major league sports team in Wyoming.
But Liseberg is awesome.
Couldnt you talk about danish park like Djurs- and Fårupsommerland? 🇩🇰❤️🎢
Maybe one day! :)
Ehhh... Mack rides are too weak IMO... Intamin all the way.
First
Literally no one cares.
thank andreas?? Helix is not very good, I can't believe that you can call it a launch coaster when the launch is weaker than some lifthills... GOD I HATE LSM AND MACK RIDES
And yeah, Lisebergbanan sucks aswell, a coaster with fucking tires in the middle of the ride, unbelievable, thank god for Balder!
