LISEBERG - Valkyria
A free fall of 50 metres and a track 750 metres long: these are the numbers of the longest and highest European dive coaster, produced by Bolliger&Mabillard for the Swedish Park: three inversions, more than 100km/h at top speed and an accurate theming in Nordic style complete that impressive attraction.

ALTON TOWERS - Wicker Man
With its original layout and the use of the fire in a great scenographic 18 metre high element that is the centre of the attraction, the rollercoaster Wicker Man, produced by Great Coasters International, is a welcome return of the wooden rollercoaster in the United Kingdom, after more than 20 years of absence.
