More context
Lisebergbanan returned to the news in October 2025 after an incident during operation. A train ran through branches and leaves from a fallen tree. Several riders suffered minor injuries, including bruises and swelling, but no serious injuries were reported. The next train was not sent through the course; its passengers had to leave the ride via an emergency staircase. Liseberg assisted the affected guests on site and compensated them. The coaster then remained closed while the park investigated exactly what had happened and whether storm Amy had played a role. According to Liseberg, the tree had been inspected beforehand and was considered low risk. That detail made the story especially striking for fans and visitors. Lisebergbanan is a classic terrain coaster set into a green, hilly landscape, and that setting is a key part of its appeal. The incident also showed how such a natural environment can create vulnerabilities. In the attraction's history, it stands as a rare safety-related episode around one of Scandinavia's best-known roller coasters.
