It's been known for a while that Liseberg were looking to bring in a Zierer Star Shape. They've just released some photos and a teaser video. It looks pretty epic in my opinion, but given that it's at Liseberg this is no surprise.

FACTS ABOUT MECHANICAIn the sweltering heat, amongst heavy smoke and burning fire, something takes shape from the soot covered hands of the blacksmith – a mechanical construction that's never been seen before. With an alchemist's knowledge, he creates the perfect element, and when the machine is set in motion a force awakens ...

You can't just build 20 million coasters each year unless you are owned by a very wealthy backer who is willing to pump money in not expecting a return anytime soon. You need a more sustainable growth like Merlin try to do.TTheory wrote:Seems quite meh, they need to continue the Helix epicness.
Just out of interest have you ever been on a Star Shape before?

From viewing a few videos of Star Shapes and they look pretty damn intense. So definitely not a 'meh' investment in my eyes.
Liseberg have already had some pretty epic rides for 15+ years prior to the opening of Helix. Lisebergbanan, Balder to name just a few.

So you would be happy with an awful ride as long as it had good throughput? Not the best logic I've heard before....
I would be more than happy if one of the Merlin parks got one of these as I was pleasantly surprised at the intensity when I ride Air at WW.
