AtmosFear (Liseberg, Sweden)
No. 3: AtmosFear (Liseberg)
Built over the structure of old Liseberg’s observation tower, AtmosFear is an Intamin ride which opened in 2011. With its 116 meters of height, this Swedish drop tower owns the title of Europe’s tallest free fall attraction. Riders take place in a gondola which encircles the tower carrying 36 people at the same time. The journey headed for the top lasts 100 seconds and passengers have the chance to admire the view in a false sense of tranquility. When on top, the gondola is released and riders experience a 50-meters free fall before the magnetic brakes slow the vehicle down.The fall reaches a speed of nearly 110 km/h leaving riders breathless for 3-seconds of pure thrill.
