Kraftverket at Liseberg: Breakdance 5 Attraction Revolutionizes Thrill Rides in 2025

In spring 2025, Liseberg, one of Europe’s leading amusement parks, will unveil Kraftverket, a cutting-edge attraction featuring the Break Dance 5 model by Huss Park Attractions. Strategically located beneath the iconic Valkyria roller coaster in the park’s southern section, Kraftverket combines state-of-the-art technology with nostalgic charm, promising an adrenaline-fueled experience that will enhance Liseberg's diverse offerings.

Kraftverket: Innovation Meets Tradition

Kraftverket, which translates to “The Power Plant,” symbolizes the raw energy and intense forces riders will feel during the experience. Every twist and acceleration generates a unique thrill. Developed by Huss Park Attractions, the attraction represents the latest generation of thrill rides. Its prototype, unveiled just months ago at Prater in Vienna, already made waves in the amusement park industry.

Mirko Schulze, CEO of Huss Park Attractions, describes the attraction as a milestone in modern ride design. He emphasizes that Kraftverket strikes a perfect balance between adrenaline-pumping excitement and a family-friendly concept, appealing to both younger audiences and seasoned amusement park enthusiasts.

Strategic Location and Long-Term Development

The new attraction is in the park’s southern area, tucked beneath Valkyria, one of Liseberg’s most renowned rides. This location was carefully chosen to optimize the park’s limited space while offering visitors a seamless and exciting experience. Andreas Andersen, CEO of Liseberg, highlights the strategic importance of this decision, describing Kraftverket as a vital component of the park’s long-term development plans for its southern section.

The idea of Kraftverket has been in development since Valkyria’s construction in 2016. Now, with the vision finally realized, this new addition further diversifies the attractions in this area of the park and elevates the overall experience for visitors.

Modern technology with a nostalgic twist

For long-time fans of the park, Kraftverket will evoke memories of the original Breakdance ride that operated between 1987 and 1993. However, this updated version leverages cutting-edge technology to deliver a next-level experience. By blending nostalgia with innovation, Kraftverket establishes itself as a unique and essential addition to Liseberg.

The attraction's technical specifications highlight its versatility. With a diameter of 16.5 meters and a capacity of 40 passengers across 20 gondolas, Kraftverket offers both high throughput and rider comfort. The height requirement—140 cm or 120 cm with an accompanying adult—ensures accessibility for families and thrill-seekers alike.

International Acclaim for the Break Dance 5 Model

The Break Dance 5 model has already gained international recognition. It was honored with prestigious awards, including first place at the IAAPA Brass Ring Awards and a European Star Award from Kirmes & Park Revue. These accolades underscore the model’s innovative design and technical excellence, which Liseberg is now bringing to its visitors.

Importance for Gothenburg and Tourism

Liseberg is not only a premier amusement park but also a cornerstone of Gothenburg’s tourism industry. The introduction of Kraftverket reinforces the park’s position as a leading destination and continues to attract both local and international visitors. Andreas Andersen emphasizes that attractions like Kraftverket are crucial for maintaining Liseberg's status as one of Europe’s top amusement parks, while also appealing to new generations of visitors.
