Swedish amusement park Liseberg has said that it will rebuild its Oceana waterpark following a fire that led to the death of one person and almost entirely destroyed the attraction.
“The fire was devastating, but it will not stop the development of the destination Liseberg,” said Kurt Eliasson, chairman of Liseberg. “Liseberg is an important part of Gothenburg's identity, and this project is a crucial component in the recovery of the West Swedish tourism industry. Therefore, the board has unanimously decided to instruct Liseberg's management to investigate and start planning for how a reconstruction can take place.”
Police have confirmed the identity of the man killed in the fire as construction manager Patrik Gillholm, who was working as a senior construction manager on the project.
“The loss of life puts everything into perspective, and our thoughts go to Patrik's family and close friends,” said Eliasson.
