It was in February this year that a powerful fire broke out during the construction of Oceana. One person died in the fire.

The water park was intended to open in the summer of 2024. But due to the fire, planned revenues disappeared, and the costs of rebuilding have been large.

An additional background to the upcoming savings requirement is the visitor base.

In the beginning of the summer, things looked extra tough for the amusement park.

We had a pretty cold and rainy June, and not even the beginning of July was any better. But the last three-four weeks have been quite good. July is six percent above last year's July. Overall, we are three percent worse than last year, says CEO Andreas Andersen to the newspaper.

The CEO does not want to mention any figures regarding the savings package, and no union negotiations have yet begun. In response to a question from DN about whether there is a crisis for Liseberg, the answer is:

It's too strong a word, but we must plan cautiously. We've had a number of tough years, not least with the pandemic. Now we must assess the situation wisely. It's not that we're not developing the park, but new large investments will have to wait.
