Pariserhjulet / Liseberg

Close to the "top" of the Liseberg hill can be found the parks classic ferris wheel, manufactured by Anton Schwarzkopf. It's one of the few remaining Schwarzkopf wheels in operation - most have been replaced by some newer generation ones. From this site you'll for example find a list of (nearly) all transportable wheels in Germany: link

The ride was introduced in 1967, but was redone in 1995.
