What Really Happened on Lisebergbanan July 15th 2006?

was not prepared too see something so close to home. Living 15 minutes away from Liseberg. Really like your always accurate and interesting videos😁

[@Colaholiker]

Wow, so you probably witnessed what happened there a few days ago when the under construction water park went up in flames...

[@tilde4350]

@@Colaholiker yes! The basicly done but luckily not filled with children waterpark😳 it was very scary and I can't imagine how bad it would have been if they had been open to the public. The fire spread so quickly. It is going to be interesting to see what happens with rebuilding it and insurance who has to pay.

[@Colaholiker]

@@tilde4350 I think this wouldn't have happened if the water park had been operating. My Swedish isn't particularly good, but from what I've heard, the fire was started due to welding going on. And with it being a construction site, there is a lot more flammable material present than when the water park is operating. What really shocked me as a former firefighter was the video when the flash-over happened and you could literally see the fire running down inside the slides. I hope they will be able to re-build, as Liseberg is such a beautiful park, which I was able to visit twice so far, and I hope to get back there one day.

[@tilde4350]

@Colaholiker I agree the cuase of the fire was related to welding and the build being I'm progress. But it is scary how flammable the slides were. They have been getting criticism from experts in the media so they will have to change their fire safety plan for the new building. So it is more of a thought that it was better this happened now so they could fix the flaws vs a fire in the future and the fore spreads more than they anticipated.

[@DJgregBrown]

They modified the safety lock to reduce noise at a theme park. Madness!...

[@CoasterCollege]

Actually it's a pretty common thing in Europe especially

[@julia4740]

maybe because its in the middle of the city? of course not good if safety is sacrificed but if its too loud they just need to stop the ride i suppose

[@Domihork]

And then they just remove it, so... I guess the noise wasn't that much of a problem? I live really close to it and it's not any louder than the other rides.

[@dindog22]

seems like this isn't the first time I've heard of a train rolling back on the lift hill because someone wanted the anti rollback to be quieter. perhaps parks shouldn't mess with the anti rollback

[@pikariocraftf2802]

Though in this case they were working with the manufacturer, which is normally not something present in there cases.

[@weasel7491]

It's kind of cool how much math and factors goes into a roller coaster's design and safety and even in an oversight where they didn't consider some factors, it doesn't result in huge catastrophe

Honestly if there’s one takeaway I’ve had from your videos, is how many coasters you’ve covered genuinely look like fun, considering I can only manage some smaller scale coasters since I hate heights 😂 although these vids don’t contribute to my fear lol, this one looks cool! Interesting track design

[@orcaboi1558]

I was in line with my dad and uncle when this happened. even if i was 6 years old i still remember seeing the whole thing go down. kind of crazy to think. that had we been there minutes earlier we may have been in one of those trains. I am just glad no one died.

Thank you for always doing such a great job on your videos! You never fail to impress. Have you ever thought about getting a job as an Amusement park Safety consultant ? I know it has been over 20 years since I worked at a park but back then we paid big bucks to have a safety consultant come out once a year.

[@thehamelsduck1600]

@@CoasterCollege IDK you know more about basic ride safety than most people.

[@djavatar68]

This coaster wasn't built by Schwarzkopf. He did the track design but it was built by Zierer. Same as Jetline at GronaLund

[@CoasterCollege]

Both were involved but it was bought through Schwarzkopf.

[@Colaholiker]

@@CoasterCollege I doubt it. The Schwarzkopf company was already bankrupt and out of business by the time. That's also the reason why this looks "schwarzkopf-ish", but not like a real Schwarzkopf. When the Schwarzkopf company went bankrupt, the rights to the designs were acquired by BHS (their rides business later acquired by Maurer Söhne, now Maurer Rides). This is why Olympia Looping looks like a genuine Schwarzkopf, using the same track type, same trains, etc. Zierer, despite working with Anton Schwarzkopf, didn't have the rights to these designs. So they had to be different. Just two simple to see examples: 1. Normal Schwarzkopf trains have 2 rows of seats per coach. The Zierer trains have one row of seats per coach and the coaches are a lot shorter for that reason. 2. On the normal Schwarzkopf track profile, the backspine and the two running rails form a V shape, with the backspine being lower than the running rails. On the Zierer design, the backspine sits higher and actually "sticks out on top" All of this nitpicking aside, it is believed that Lisebergbanan was Anton Schwarzkopf's favorite coaster of all times.

[@BasEerdenKeuning]

Love your video's! But me as a engineer i have to point out that screws are for wood. They make there own tread when you screw them in. Because the chain is metal this must be a bolt. Because you shown a internal hex i am certain this must be a bolt. Hopefully you can learn something from my comment and improve in the future!

[@GonzoIsCool]

Having grown up going to Dorney Park, the concept of actually caring about noisy coasters shocks me. They did nothing about the noise of Hercules. That coaster was so loud you had to time your conversations around the cars passing by because if one was close there was zero chance of being heard. You could hear the blasted thing almost anywhere in the park. Actually, you could hear it from the parking lot. The only place you couldn't hear it clearly was Wildwater Kingdom.

[@julia4740]

I love liserbergbanan super fun coaster! I thought it was older than from 80s

[@regulusmasamuneryuku8657]

Ive been relistening to some of your videos. After watching the Smiler again, I have a question. Do they have camera's around the coaster so that ride staff can keep an eye on all the track? Or something to track the exact position of each train? If not, why? Obviously, you also wanna check with your eyes too, esp for a mechanical issue. Though, if there ever is an accident (very rare, I know) then there is always footage.

[@CoasterCollege]

The cameras are used both for record keeping and for operators to watch train positions. I'm not sure if they were installed in operator view at the time of the accident.

[@clementinetea2078]

Do you think you'd ever cover the 2010 incident on Mumbo Jumbo at Flamingo Land, Yorkshire where the car got stuck upside down? I haven't been able to find the incident report myself, but it's always been an incident I've been interested in as it's my honestly really weird home park. I've always wondered if the thing about the poncho getting trapped on the tracks is real, because the park does or did sell ponchos at a kiosk outside the logflume ride Lost River Ride, which was always popular because it overlooked the lion enclosure, and it wasn't uncommon to see people in that area of the park still in ponchos, and still somehow soaked to the bone. However I've never seen a picture of it or anything besides UK Media, which are quite frankly rags. I also cannot stress how weird this park is, it originally was a zoo and kept dolphins, and was the first site to hold a captive orca in the UK, Cuddles, who did not like it and was so aggressive they had to clean her tank in a shark cage. It's in the middle of nowhere, which is almost impossible to do in England, it's on the Yorkshire Moors, which are cursed in more ways than one. It's also cursed with the presence of Hero, a Zamperla Volare. Quimera which was involved in the major accident at La Feria Chapultepec Magico was from Flamingo Land and also had an incident there, the ride operator was hit by the train, I also can't find much on that, but I genuinely believe they still take shortcuts with their staff training, it seems to be seasonal workers with little staff retention. Also the owner did start a brawl in the parking lot once, and was arrested. It just has a weird vibe, the weather is never nice, but it's home, a weird cursed home park.

[@CoasterCollege]

I would love to cover UK accidents, but unfortunately they make it extremely hard to find accident reports. If you're able to help find one email me.

So I'd be curious if something fatal had happened with the ride manufacturer still get sued I mean I know it would be a company fault but it would be difficult to put fault on to somebody who likely doesn't work for the company anymore and we've also learned a lot since the late eighties when it comes to roller coasters but having said that you would think that it would have been inspected at some point between like 88 and like 06 kind of crazy
