The trains and restraints are very comfortable and the ride is very visually impressive to look at. The drops is amazing and all the inversions are great in different ways. The colour choices and theming in the station is very good and the ride is just extremely fun and smooth. The ride is on the shorter side but is still amazing with what it packs in. Great coaster.

While I am not a big fan of this rather gimmicky coaster type, this is very well presented. The viking style building for the station looks awesome and tge way the ride goes underground through a smoking hole right into a loop is very cool. And it's so smooth!

Un coaster vraiment magnifique visuellement et très bien placé dans la skyline de Liseberg ! J’ai très clairement sous estimé la first drop avec un "gilli dans le ventre" très sensationnel et long comme je n’en avais jamais ressenti auparavant ! Le coaster est extrêmement fluide mais manque d’intensité et d’airtimes si ce n’est la drop qui joue a elle seule 70% du travail . Le seul élément qui ajoute quelque chose d’intéressant est ce barrel roll à la toute fin qui procure un super hangtime presque comparable au cutback de toutatis ! Pour le coup B&M m’a surpris et motivé à faire d’autres rollercoasters de ce constructeur.

Dive coasters are far from my favourite coasters, but Valkyria just shows how good they can actually be. The drop is obviously awesome, the dive machine showpiece rarely disappoints. This time you get the benefit of the most stunning views of Liseberg and Gothenburg beyond it which very much helps. The tunnel is an excellent near miss as well, it feels pretty tight as you go into it. After the classic immelmann you then get a really fun and quite diverse layout, with some intense turns and a whippy zero g roll complimented by a floaty turn to the left and the hang time filled heartline roll. Its still fairly short but it feels complete nonetheless. It rides incredibly too, super smooth with not a hint of rattle or vibration. Theming in the station is superb, as is the soundtrack. And just generally the ride looks amazing, such a nice colour pallette used and it fits really well into its area of the park. Really fun ride and an excellent part of Lisebergs lineup

Coaster sympathique bien sûr pour sa première descente à 90° comme pour Oblivion d'Alton Tower par exemple, et ses quelques airtimes ensuite, mais court quand-même, et moins sensationnel que j'imaginais, à l'inverse de beaucoup de très bonnes attractions plus fortes encore de ce parc (dont aussi Loke)

What a surprise. By far Europe's best dive coaster (I've yet to ride the original Oblivion, but... you know). I came with low expectations, but it ended up being a very solid top 3 at the park. It was the first time a dive's first drop impressed me. With this coaster model, size does matter, man. The hanging, the views, the weightlessness drop and the foggy tunnel are great. By the way, I really appreciated that the valley on that tunnel kept the forces strong and sustained, unlike others such as Oblivion-The Black Hole or Krake. And that intensity was well mantained throughout the ride. Those positive G's were combined with some nice inverions (mediocre immelman and two great rolls), and there was also a quite decent airtime moment. It's maybe a short ride, but it's more than long enough for me, specially for a dive coaster. The station has nice theming as well. Oh, and the operations were great, specially that single rider queue. Best ones at the park. However, the obligation to pay for the ride lockers was insulting - I've never seen that in any other park in Europe, not even other rides at Liseberg have that.

La meilleure Dive d'Europe probablement, grâce à un parcours plutôt long, varié et surtout assez intense j'ai trouvé. La drop procure comme toujours un bel airtime au dernier rang ! La station et le choix des couleurs (supports et rails) sont splendides.

An excellent dive coaster. Just like many of the other B&M Dive Coasters it is a bit too short. Unfortunately it features vest restraints in combination with a stupid harness which is very phisically restricting during the ride. This could have been solved much better in my opinion. The drop is excellent and especially amazing in the front row. The following track is a lot of fun as well. It feels very smooth and makes the ride more interesting. Overall worth a ride but for me it could never compete with a regular rollercoaster, the concept is just inferior in general.

Valkyria at Liseberg is quite mediocre, aside from the Vertical Drop it's not that much more than a crowd-pleaser. The best seat for me is 1-1 (Front left wing) as most of the turns puts the left side...

Valkyria is well deserving of it's high placing on lists of the best B&M dive coasters, whatever that is worth. Despite a short ride time I think Valkyria delivers a fun experience with a great first drop that must be experienced in the front. That feeling of vulnerability as the train goes over the edge is something else. With an immelmann, a corkscrew and a heartline roll also included it's clear B&M and Liseberg wanted to utilise the limited real estate to the max and I think they've done that.

I had high expectations to the ride and got very disappointed. I think that it is boring and it felt very very tame. The only fun thing about the ride is the drop. The first time I rode it I was thinking like, that was it? It nearly felt like a family coaster to me. Ok coaster. Some nice positive g-forces but still boring. It doesn’t feel as fast as it is. Cool music.

Valkyria es una coaster que desde a fuera impresiona mucho, sobre todo el primer drop, que ya os lo adelanto es lo mejor de la coaster, las inversiones son buenas, es otro punto a favor, el recorrido es muy fluido, los arneses de valkyria no me gustaron mucho porque vas bastante apretado aunque no están nada mal pero prefiero a los de oblivion en Gardaland, y luego el recorrido si lo ves detenidamente se hace bastante corto.

My first dive coaster and it was pretty good. The first drop was good and my favourite part of the ride but the airtime wasn't very noticeable. I greyed out going into the immelman. The zero g roll was nice and floaty. The following hill gave a bit of airtime. The last inversion gave good hangtime. I know a lot of people have a problem with the vest restraints and while they do take away from the airtime a bit and are quite restrictive I actually find them quite comfortable and not painful. But I'm quite short so I can understand if they're a problem for you. Overall, I was excited for this ride and I think it met my expectations. I would use the word 'good' to sum up this coaster. Not mind blowing but you'll probably be satisfied with your ride on it.

Dive plutôt sympathique avec de la rapidité dans l'enchaînement de ses éléments. C'est également ultra smooth. Après voilà ça reste une dive, rien de transcendant ni vraiment surprenant. J'aurai souhaité aussi trouver une bosse classique à airtime ainsi que les harnais Old school B&M

Vu tous les retours que j'ai eu sur ce modèle, je m'attendais à une drop plutôt bonne mais rien de bien intéressant sur la suite du parcours. Pourtant, mon premier dive coaster a été la meilleure surprise de mon trip Suède. Tout le monde parle du premier rang sur ce genre de machines, mais pour ma part, l'arrière du train m'a beaucoup plus convaincu. La first drop est incroyable, elle procure un airtime à couper le souffle au 3ème rang. L'inversion qui suit est assez intense. Les virages procurent de bons G+, les deux vrilles offrent un moment d'hangtime très planant, et l'unique bosse du parcours donne un airtime court mais puissant pour du B&M. Les vestes ne me dérangent pas du tout, selon moi on est bien maintenu et les éléments sont assez puissants pour que les sensations soient au rendez-vous. Après Fenix à Toverland et Monster à Grona-Lund, Valkyria est le 3ème B&M récent qui me plaît tout particulièrement. Je dois dire que malgré les nombreuses critiques envers B&M, j'apprécie beaucoup leurs derniers coasters. Ils sont tous assez courts mais délivrent d'excellentes sensations tout au long de leur parcours. Ils sont parfaitement confortables et très élégants dans leur parc respectif.

La first drop est legendaire et te met un bon paquet de G en bas mais une fois le loop passé appart 1 ou 2 inversion ya plus grand chose, le parcours perd totalement de son intérêt Par contre la v...

Une excellente dive. Valkyria me confirme que s'est un modèle qui est toujours très court en temps de ride mais B&M à extrêmement bien gérer ce défaut. Le layout est très complet, dispose d'un rythme plus qu'honorable et il se paye le luxe d'être d'une fluidité parfaite. Les vestes ne permettes cependant pas de profiter à 100% de la drop qui est incroyable sur ce genre de coaster, mais est globalement peut dérangeante sur le reste du parcours

I had virtual queueing for Valkyria... and it broke down just before my time was up. Luckily it was back up and running in half an hour, and i got to ride it fast due to the single riders lane. The first drop is intense, and the mist effects work well. The views of Liseberg and Gothenburg all lit up at 10pm just before the drop are worth the ride, too!!

Valkyria is a masterfully executed dive coaster and (so far) is the best example of how dives should be made. The brake on the drop hangs you over a bit more than other dive coasters, and the vest restraints allow you to lean forward a bit more than the traditional OTSRs. The drop gives great floater airtime, and the layout is very good for a dive. The standard Immelmann follows the drop, then a zero-g roll, helix and twisted airtime hill are after that. The zero-g roll is nice and floaty, the helix rather intense, and the twisted hill gives some airtime and whip. The last element before the brakes is a hangtime-filled zero-g roll just like Helix’s and is a great way to end out a short but sweet ride.

Longue chute avec un bel hang time, on plonge dans un tunnel de fumée assez impressionnant vu d'en haut. L'immelman n'est pas très haut, ce qui permet de conserver une excellente vitesse jusqu'aux freins. Des éléments très bien exécutés et passés dans un grand confort. File d'attente minimaliste au niveau des décors, mais très belle gare et musiques exceptionnelles ! Dive de moyenne taille avec un layout compact ; intéressant ! Valkyria était la machine qui me faisait le plus envie parmi tous ses homologues européens, il ne m'a pas déçu du tout !

J’ai adoré Valkyria.. Alors oui on aurait pas craché pour quelques mètres en longueur en plus mais la drop est bougrement efficace. Je n’ai pas été gêné du tout par les harnais. La vitesse est incroyablement bonne pour une dive B&M. Bien au dessus de Baron1898.

A brilliant dive coaster. Unlike what I've heard about Valravn, the vest restraints add to the experience of this ride. unlike older variations on B&Ms vest restraint, Valkyrias don't fully lock in one position, ther's just more resistance making them more difficult to move when locked. This adds to the experience specifically in the hangtime moments, both the heartline roll and hanging over the vertical drop. When you're held over the drop the vest slowly moves forward from your weight, forcing you to look at the hole. It's really effective. This is also the most forceful recently built B&M I've been on. The exit of the immelmann into the overbank under the lift is especially forceful.
