Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

[TPoseOnTantrum]

Liseberg and NCC have signed a new agreement under their current deal for the rebuilding of the waterpark, give that the clean-up phase seems to be wrapped or close to it. Still gunning for a new opening date at the end of 2026.

There are some news here. The insurance company (Trygg Hansa) have refused all claims and blame the accident on negligence. Trygg Hansa will conduct a more thorough investigation which is expected to be revealed soon. If they still refuse to pay the claim, it will lead to a long court case. Liseberg and the city are still committed to rebuilding Oceana and will finance it themselves until they receive the insurance claim. If they don't get insurance money it will probably negatively affect future Liseberg investments. While Liseberg state the rebuilding cost to be 700 million SEK, an expert believes the figure to be a lot larger due to manufacturers probably being unwilling to provide warranty to equipment and materials which have been through a fire. This would mean that the equipment would need to be replaced with new even if it seems undamaged. I remember @Hixee speculating about this years ago.
