Liseberg Roller Coaster Evacuated After Storm Damage
Liseberg amusement park evacuated its main roller coaster after Storm Amy caused a tree to fall across the tracks. One train rode through branches before the attraction was safely stopped. No injuries were reported during the incident.
Storm Amy forced the Lisebergbanan roller coaster to halt operations on Saturday. A fallen tree near the attraction caused one train to plow through branches. Park staff evacuated all passengers immediately.
Liseberg is Sweden's largest amusement park located in Gothenburg. The incident occurred during peak visiting hours. No injuries were reported despite the dramatic situation.
Why do Nordic storms frequently disrupt public attractions? Climate patterns bring strong winds that topple trees near built-up areas. The park's safety systems responded correctly by stopping the ride.
Cleanup crews worked through Saturday evening. They removed debris and inspected the track for damage. The roller coaster remains closed until safety checks conclude.
