Valkyria is a steel Dive Coaster roller coaster under construction at Liseberg amusement park in Gothenburg, Sweden. Manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard, it is scheduled to open in 2018, also being Europe's longest Dive Coaster. The name Valkyria is derived from the Norse mythology creature Valkyrie, a mythological creature that brought fallen warriors to the afterlife.
In the days leading towards the announcement of the investment project starting on 21 September 2016, Liseberg released multiple trailers for upcoming news to the park in 2017. Less than a week later on 27 September 2016, Liseberg announced the construction of two new attractions, including Valkryia, for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.
The construction of Valkyria is part of a 250 million dollar (SEK) investment of the park that will be constructed along with Loki, a Gyro Swing manufactured by Intamin, both being in the theme of Norse mythology.
