Kraftverket

By early July 2025, Kraftverket had moved from announcement to operating attraction. Looopings reported that the official opening had taken place on Friday, presenting Huss Park Attractions' Break Dance 5 to Liseberg guests. The park described the ride as a fast, whirling carousel that challenges passengers from the very first moment. With forces of up to 3.5 g and capacity for forty riders per cycle, Kraftverket is clearly more than a gentle family ride. The layout adds another distinctive detail: the operator sits in the centre of the disc, surrounded by the moving gondolas. For Liseberg, the attraction is part of a new themed area connecting the Grand Curiosa Hotel with the older parts of the park. Its futuristic power-station design gives the route a clear identity and ties the name Kraftverket directly to the experience. Nostalgia is part of the story too. Liseberg operated a classic break dance between 1987 and 1993, so this opening feels like a modern return of a familiar ride family. Director Andreas Andersen said the plan had existed since 2016, making the opening more than a seasonal novelty: a long-held park ambition finally became visible to guests.

Liseberg presented Kraftverket in late 2024 as a notable addition for the summer of 2025. The park described the ride as the latest step in attraction innovation: a Break Dance 5 from German manufacturer Huss Park Attractions, a modern successor to a fairground classic many visitors will immediately recognise. The technical promise was clear. A 16.5-metre disc carries twenty gondolas for two riders each, with spinning movements designed to make the ride unpredictable. Liseberg chose a futuristic power-station theme, matching the name Kraftverket, which means power house. The site near dive coaster Valkyria was selected to add energy to that part of the park and make strong use of limited space. For fans, the story was about more than a new ride type. Liseberg already operated a classic Huss break dance between 1987 and 1993, so Kraftverket also brought back a familiar concept in a much more modern form. With a 120-centimetre height requirement and unaccompanied rides from 140 centimetres, the park positioned it as a serious family thrill: compact in scale, but deliberately not modest in experience.
