Liseberg offering flights to moon and back with new Luna coaster









Sweden’s Liseberg is planning to celebrate its 100th year in style with the launch of several new attractions, the most exciting of which is Luna, a family coaster, described as the “jewel in the crown”, that serves as a focal point for a brand new area of the park.

Set to open on April 22, the Vekoma-manufactured Luna is a custom Boomerang model set to reach heights of 109.9ft (33.5m) and speeds of up to 42.3mph (68kmph), with the ride being constructed atop Liseberg Hill - the park’s highest point.

Offering “flights to the moon”, the ride car, which resembles a rocket ship, will carry guests forwards then backwards over the 738ft (225m) track, with Luna being the tallest and fastest of its kind anywhere in the world.

Luna will open alongside two already launched family attractions - the Technical Park-manufactured Turbo motorcycle ride and the Zamperla-manufactured Tempmus spinning tower ride.
