The ride reaches a maximum height of 146 meters above sea level due to the tower's location on a hill.
The drop sequence is intentionally randomized by a computer system to prevent riders from anticipating the exact moment of the fall.
The structure was originally built in 1990 as a rotating observation tower before its conversion.
The ride utilizes magnetic braking technology to bring the gondola to a smooth halt at the base.
During the ascent, the ride offers a panoramic view spanning the entire city of Gothenburg and the nearby archipelago.
AtmosFear is a free-fall ride located at the Liseberg amusement park in Gothenburg, Sweden. The attraction consists of a gondola that climbs a 116-meter-tall tower before dropping at a maximum speed of 110 kilometers per hour. It features a gravitational force of 4 Gs during the sudden descent. The structure was formerly the Liseberg Tower observation deck, which was repurposed into this drop tower in 2011. Riders are secured in open-sided seats that expose them to the surrounding city views before the release mechanism triggers. It ranks among Europe's tallest free-fall attractions.
The plaza directly at the base of the tower provides the best perspective for capturing the scale of the drop.
Secure all loose items like phones and sunglasses in the lockers provided, as they are not permitted on the ride.
Look toward the harbor and the Gothenburg archipelago during the slow ascent to catch the best views.
Expect a longer wait time during peak summer afternoons and weekends.
Do not attempt to film with handheld devices; loose items are strictly prohibited for safety.
Operates seasonally from spring through autumn; closed during the winter months.
Loose footwear such as flip-flops must be removed or secured before boarding.
