Gröna Lund has just announced "Score! ", an interactive trackless darkride. The theme will be Gröna Lund's underground archive. Full press release in English here No word about a new coaster though, my guess is that it will be for the 2028 season, no planning documents have yet been submitted.

Turns out the Flygande Mqttan replacement indeed was a flat ride and not related to the Jetline replacement at all. Gröna Lund will introduce "Spindeln" (The spider), a SBF super jumper in 2026. Aesthetically it looks good and capacity seems decent with 42 rider per cycle. I also think it's...

I originally posted this info in the small news thread, but it could very well be connected with a Jetline replacement as well. Gröna Lund has announced the removal of the Zierer flying carpet "Flygande Mattan". On their webpage (link) they say that something big is about to be revealed with a...

On their social medias Gröna Lund has announced that their Zierer Flying Carpet "Flygande Mattan" will close after this summer season. Earlier this year the nearby Reverchon Music express "Rock Jet" was also closed meaning two classic flat rides have left Gröna Lund in short time. Instagram link

Gröna Lund has just recently applied for permit to dismantle Jetline including station building and the building housing the fortune wheels next to it. At the same time they have applied for permit to build a two storey building on the plot of land. The new building will host three fortune wheel...

In the annual report for Parks & Resorts (the owner of Gröna Lund) it is stated that the expansion is postponed until after the Jetline area has been redeveloped. Link to the report (Swedish) Report. They are still committed to the expansion though. Even though it's sad to see the expansion...

Here's the press release from Gröna Lund: https://www.mynewsdesk.com/se/grona_lunds_tivoli/pressreleases/improperly-manufactured-front-axle-caused-the-accident-in-jetline-groena-lunds-measures-and-change-initiatives-3329865 What's not mentioned in the English press release but is in the Swedish...

In an interview with Dagens Nyheter (major Swedish newspaper) the CEO of Parks & Resorts, Christer Fogelmark, stated that they are in talks with several manufacturers regarding the coaster. He also stated that it's supposed to include a "world's first". The concept art looks 100% like the Vekoma...

Very good summary, thought I should add some specifics for Sweden (I happen to work in the business) We have two different types of contracts, current accounts and fixed price with adjustable quantities. In current account contracts the client pays for every verified cost the contractor has...

This is very interesting since Jetline actually is retrofitted with magnetic brakes, and thus the trains had to be modified. This is of course a major technical difference between the trains. I don't know which company retrofitted Jetline with the magnetic brakes but it must have been done...

It is in human nature to want to find the one responsible for an accident and put the blame on them, it's very clearly visible in this very thread. However, as long as maintenance has been done according to law and regulations and per the manufacturers instruction I have a very hard time seeing...

Tabloid Aftonbladet has managed to capture some footage of the wheel assemblies being loaded for transportation to the Swedish Accident Investigation Authority. See picture below. From this image it seems like the assemblies are still attached to the subframe, but compare the subframe to that...

I rode Jetline a few weeks ago, they do check the restraints visually and pull them down if needed. The restraint itself is of a ratchet type and always leave a little gap with some play. The restraints are also super light so if possible they will click an extra click at the bottom of the...

Rescue service have now confirmed that there were only 10 persons on the train, another four on the ground were treated for shock. In a press statement earlier today it was confirmed that four adults were still treated at hospital, two with minor injuries and two with severe, but not life...

It's just concept art of what the zoning plan will allow to be built. No rides have been decided upon. The new area will be ready in about 4-5 years from now.
