8. AtmosFear: Free fall tower

Denna sida på svenska This page in English

In  AtmosFear you can experience Free Fall, which is one of the most typical examples in the school textbook in physics. The difference is that in AtmosFear - you, yourself, are falling, together with the ring of seats holding you and 39 additional guests. Only the force of gravity acts on you. If you had taken a bathroom scale along (don't even think about it!) it would have shown zero. For a couple of seconds you experience weightlessness.

Take moment to consider in what other rides at Liseberg you may experience weightlessness!

During the Christmas season, AtmosFear is closed as a ride - instead it is a giant Christmas tree, visible from most of Gothenburg
