The ride's sign.

History

The ride opened at Liseberg in 1977 as Lilla Bergbanan. In 1986, it was rethemed to Cirkusexpressen, which was Swedish for Circus Express. After its closure in 2008, it was relocated to Mondo Verde. There, the ride would be renamed Wilde Tijger Achtbaan, which was Dutch for Wild Tiger Roller Coaster. It would open on April 11, 2009. The name was eventually changed to Achtbaan, which is Dutch for Roller Coaster. The ride is listed as Treno on the park's website, but this name does not appear in the park, and is thus not used on Coasterpedia.
