Aerovarvet

Hi Harry, many thanks for your help with your answers. Will there be any chance to get the onride and offride movie from you in high quality and not You Tube compressed? Thanks again!

Hi Harry! Im still waiting for your "update" on my questions. I check this topic everyday, just so you know. Looking forward to your answer Robert

Hi Harry! Thank you, i was just wondering what ever happened Good to hear, is it yet another spotlight on the way (the project you mentioned). Looking forward to your update !

Chiller: Sorry for not expressing myself better. The "book" will consist of a timeline with facts and pictures and even sometimes stories and other things, covering all the lss and ss that has ever been made. Besides that, a catalogue system consisting of pictures and movieclips on almost everyone will be included. So maybe i sould say a Looping Starship / Space Shuttle CD Harry: I recognise those words from the one we had in Sweden. MAJOR success!!! I can´t wait for the rest to come. Robert

29yrs, what´s your real name? -your real name - I AM SO EXCITED! !!! Thank you so much!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Please don´t tell me that they scrapped it??? I so hate it when they scrap these awesome and beautyful rides. I totally hate it!!! First of all, i would like to thank you for your kindness and your way to welcome a new person here I have read that spotlight at least 40 times. It´s an awesome spotlight. I really love this site! It´s so well done and it´s so interesting to read the spotlights. As you probably understand, i found the Looping Starship spotlight the best. The Intamin LSS and SS´es are, in my opinion, the most awesome looking flat ride ever made and the ride experience is by far the best i´ve ever had. Our Space Shuttle (themed to be a passenger jet plane), Aerovarvet, made it´s debut for the 1989 season and kept on flying until the 2002 season. They rebuilt it. The took away the aeroplane body, the counterwight and just let it swung from side to side, like a pirate ship. I´ve never been so dissapointed as i where that day when i came to the park and saw this. My research about the ride began and i got more and more passionated the further i came. I gladly share you some pictures of our "Aerovarvet" if you want to, just let me know. Now i´m up to writing a book together with a complete register covering all the Looping Starships and Space Shuttles that has ever been made, including pictures and movies of every each one of them! I really do would like to ask you several questions about your beautyful ride. First of all, i wonder if i´m allowed to use your pictures for the book? Ofcourse i will include gah in the list of sources. I wonder if it would be possible to use the pictures without the gah logo? Is there any chance of getting the original copy of the movie in high resolution? This book is only for my own use and passion of these rides. It won´t be anything i will sell etc or earn money on. It´s just a way for me to show my passion for them. ofcourse i will gladly share my book and register with you guys! Now for some questions that i will include in my book. 1: How did people in the Park react on Looping Starship in 1985? Where they frightened? Did everyone in the park talk about the new awesome ride? 29years, do you have pictures of the ride being assembled? I would LOVE to see that! 2: Did the park always run the same program during all the years? Did it always loop twice? 3: Where there long queues for the ride? 4: I´ve seen on a picture during a restoration in the spotlight that the restraints where painted in orange. I found this REALLY awesome together with the Space Shuttle theme. It seems like they never used those restraints? Where they brand new replacement restraints or was it just some kind of cover used dring the restoration? 5: Can you tell me more about what year they restored it and what they did during the restoration? 6: Do you have more pictures and movies of the ride? I´ll start with these questions and keep new ones coming (i´ve got tons of them). Once again, thank you for your kindness Intamin Space Shuttle´s For ever! Robert

Hey everyone! I´m a guy from Sweden who loved the Space Shuttle we had at Liseberg in Gothemburg. I sadly noticed that GADV has dismantled their Space Shuttle now What happened to it? is it in storage? Does anybody have pictures of it being dismantled? I´m working on a Looping Starship & Space Shuttle book and i would love to collect all the facts from you guys when it comes to GADV´s Space shuttle. I hope you can help me out! Greetings from Sweden Robert - The Looping Starship fan!

I so hate when the parks does this to them. Why don´t sell them off? It´s a great ride, superb! How many flats kan offer the riders a thrill and holds 50 passengers at the same time?? These boring and painful Huss Top Spins seems to meet the same destiny now. Lisebergs here in Sweden was so worned out, they scrapped it! But they rebuilt our L-S-S. That was so stupid of them. It wa sone of the most awesome looking rides ever, and the program they ran on it made you dizzy for sure! It´s so sad to see your Space Shuttle go. I thought it was in perfect condition? It looked like that! And they are not so technically advanced as the flats today, so less parts that can broke and Inamin is for sure still in business so the problem for spareparts won´t be too big. BTW. I so love your article here about the Looping Starship! Is there anyone who has more photos of Space Shuttle? I´m so freaked out on these rides, so i´m going to build a model of them and need as many photos as possible to make it look like the real thing! Theme parks was better in the end of the 90´s in my opinion!

Noooo...It´s so sad to see them dismantlin the Space Shuttle! Does anybody know what they are going to do with it? We had one here in Sweden at Liseberg and i hate them for rebuilding it into a silly swinging ship ride. This is by far the best flat ride ever! Is it up for sale? I really wish i could rescue one of the greatest flat rides in time. I just loved them, you should´ve seen the one we had. So beatyful it was, and what a magnificent ride it was!!! I hat etoo see The Intamin/Giovanola Starships go. *sighs*
