In the summer of 2026, Spindeln will take its place between Kvasten and Blå Tåget – a brand new attraction that offers bounce, spin and speed for the whole family. With space for 42 riders and a height limit of 100 cm, more people than ever can experience the thrill together. A spinning novelty with speed, bounce, and spin! The spider is a spinning novelty for both the family and those who love speed – a so-called Super Jumper and the first of its kind in Sweden. The attraction combines bounce, spin and speed to the rhythm of the spider's own music. Thanks to a type of harness that folds down over the shoulders, it is also the first Super Jumper in the world where even younger children can ride, from 100 cm and 4 years old in the company of an adult.
