Valkyria Review, Liseberg B&M Dive Machine | Europe's Best Dive Coaster

Valkyria is the Bolliger & Mabillard dive machine at Liseberg. And it has a strong case as the best dive coaster in Europe. This one features a great location, a thrilling vertical drop, and great pacing for the model!

Kanonen/Matugani looks like pure fun, I’m happy that it was relocated and not scrapped

[@CanobieCoaster]

Me too.

[@mitchellries256]

Although I think this is a much better addition for Liseberg than Kanonen ever was, I was still shocked to see it go in 2016 as it looked like a very fun ride. That's all the more reason why I am glad it found a new life at Lost Island Theme Park in Iowa.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I hope to ride Kanonen one day to compare.

[@andrewschannel4259]

The musical score for this ride is amazing! IMAscore killed it!

[@CanobieCoaster]

They always do!

[@sebastiangron5050]

Valkyria is probably my number five coaster in Sweden. It is probably the smoothest coaster in the country though. I also really appreciate that you try to pronounce Liseberg correctly!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I like to try pronouncing things right if I can.

[@Sauci55on]

I wish France had a dive coaster, even tho most thoosies are saying they are bad, it still seems like a fun kind of ride. The closest thing to a dive coaster we’ve got here is a custom Eurofighter that slows down a bit on top of the lift.I don’t think this was done on purpose.Still the only one of its kind in the country, and I’m proud and happy that it’s at my home park!

[@thebabbynick1543]

I’ve only been on Valravn, but it’s quite fun and the first drop is great. The mid course doesn’t rly ruin the ride either.

[@incredibility4224]

I’m Canadian and my home park is Canada’s wonderland and from experience Yukon striker is extremely fun! It also so happens to be the tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster in the world!

[@upsidedown_]

Dive coasters are great comign from a thoosie, they have amazing drops and the zero G rolls on them are some of the best you can have.

[@CanobieCoaster]

They're fun rides. One would fit in nicely at Parc Asterix.

[@WCfanboy]

Besides the overbank, this looks pretty much perfect for a dive coaster. Has some variety, great pacing, and has airtime hangtime or positives on every element

[@CanobieCoaster]

It does.

[@robcoasters]

Valkyria is an awesome ride. I was surprised to find that vests didn't detract from the overall experience as much as people said, and the ride has a great layout and is extremely smooth & fun, but I do wish the drop had more kick to it. It is my current #13, above Olympia Looping and below OzIris!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I used to prefer the OTSRs, but I like them both now.

[@Didyus]

Nice review! I wish I could visit the park too..

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's amazing.

[@clairefunnell8481]

I think it's a great ride. Agree about the gold track. Looks really nice. Yukon Striker is still top in height, speed though. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CanobieCoaster]

I prefer Yukon Striker.

[@chargedonpc9989]

Is the zero g roll as whippy as the one on Hulk or the Batman the ride clones? Valkyria looks like a great ride.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Not quite as whippy as those.

[@memesrct_official]

If Kentucky Kingdom wanted to build a B&M Dive Coaster, then they’ll have to decide to near clone Valkyria from Liseberg and add a vertical loop after the zero-g roll.

[@George_bonnaire]

T3 replacement option

[@CanobieCoaster]

That would be nice.

[@jayminyoel7911]

When is the full park review coming?

[@CanobieCoaster]

In the future, but there will be one.

[@marnixjaeken845]

what are your thoughts of iron menace do you tink its gona be good

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes it should be a good ride.

[@Goliath146]

Can you do top 15 rides at this park

[@CanobieCoaster]

There will be one.

[@urbex_coasters]

Do you prefer Valkeria or Matugani?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I haven't ridden Matugani.

[@Hasse-swe]

About the Lockers. Las season the lockers where free, But if you use it more then 4 hours i belive it will cost some maney. But they can have changed it this season.

[@CanobieCoaster]

They said they changed it since people were using them all-day, making none available for those going on the ride.

[@Hasse-swe]

@@CanobieCoaster Okay. I did not belive it was that bad. Thanks for the info. Going to get season pass next season.

[@TuaGoated]

How did it compare to emperor?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Similar pacing, but the drop felt considerably bigger on this one even though the stats are close.

[@VelocicoasterFanboy]

Best Dive Coaster In Europe

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

That overbank looks forceful I’m surprised it’s not

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's fast, but it didn't have the power I expected.

[@ThemeParksAndAttractions]

It's a decent coaster, but nothing on Sheikra ❤

[@CanobieCoaster]

I prefer this to SheiKra.

[@ThemeParksAndAttractions]

@CanobieCoaster it has a good soundtrack and is better themed, but the coaster itself. In my opinion, Sheikra is much better

[@zenthous9568]

Liseberry?

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

That’s how it’s pronounced surprisingly

[@zenthous9568]

Really??@@ThrillsofColdplay

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

@@zenthous9568 yeah

[@CanobieCoaster]

Gs are silent at the end of Swedish words.

[@zenthous9568]

what about the y sound@@CanobieCoaster

[@SpezyCoasters]

Liseberg not liseBERRY

[@CanobieCoaster]

In Swedish, Gs at ends of words are silent. This is how park staff and Google Translate pronounce it.

[@connortjph3139]

Love the review but I can’t with the way you say liseberg 🤣🤣🤣 lisaberry 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@CanobieCoaster]

Gs are silent at the end of Swedish words apparently. Park staff said the name in a similar manner to me.
