Gröna Lund Discussion Thread

Today delivered the "Statens Haverikommission" the final repport of their investigation about the Jet Line accident: https://shk.se/sok-utredningar/ovriga-handelser/2023-06-27-mycket-allvarlig-olycka-med-akattraktionen-jetline-pa-grona-lund-i-stockholm (in Swedish) Conclusion: "The fracture of the support arm occurred as a result of too low strength due to defects in welding joints and that an essential part inside the pipe construction was missing. The support arm was one of five that were ordered and manufactured in 2019. The investigation shows that when the support arms were ordered, there were insufficient demands on how they were to be manufactured and on the manufacturing process. Nor were sufficient checks made on the design during manufacture and before the support arms were put into use. The safety work carried out at Gröna Lund did not provide a reassuring safety against accidents on the roller coaster" /// Marcus -

The Swedish Accident Investigation Authority will do a investigation on the cause and what to do to prevent it to happen again: Fire at Oceana Waterworld in Gothenburg Today I went by Liseberg/Oceana to take some photos of the aftermath of the fire... When standing outside you realise how extensive the damage is on the water slides and the main building I will not fly my drone over the area due to the ongoing investigation and that there are "no photo"-signs on the doors to Oceana. I will probably not post any more photos until they start the rebuild of Ocenan... All the best for Liseberg and to let them take care of their employees.. /// Marcus And from a distance: -

Liseberg decided that the Christmas season for 2023 should end 2024-01-07 and that I'm still on vacation, I went to visit the park in the nice cold weather we have now after the storm passed. All attractions that was scheduled to be open was running and people was riding them despite that it was -6°C when I arrived to the park and it just got colder (I have -12°C @ home right now).. Liseberg had staff going around the park and deliver HOT coffee and tea to the rest of the staff that was working on the attractions and all the games due to the cold weather. The guest/staff ratio in the park was around 75/25, the amount of guests will increase the last 3 days of operation of the Christmas season.. /// Marcus All the water slides are assembled and the parking was now empty of parts.. The countdown to next Christmas has started, only 355 days left.... Perfect placement of a Christmas tree Santa gift workshop believes in YOU... Last year delivery route. I hope the ice is gone when Kollerado opens... Nice igloos around the ice skating rink Mmmmm... More Suovas kebab, this time with elk...... Flash... Who want to ride in this seat?? More flashing... I went in to the lobby of Hotel Grandiosa to warm up a little bit before leaving.. Where you can by the book with history from the first hundred years of the existence of Liseberg.. -

Visited Christmas @ Liseberg after attending the early electronic and technology auction held by the ETA section @ Chalmers University of Technology. It was perfect conditions with subzero temperature and real snow in the park (photo date: 2023-12-02). In the station of the Liseberg tower Liseberg had arranged a 100 year anniversary exhibition with memorabilia from the first 100 years of Lisebergs existence. Due to the cold weather and real snow it was a lot of people in the park. The food highlight: Suovas kebab (reindeer & mouse with cabbage and lingonberrys in a pita bread and HOT blackcurrant juice to drink) Here is the perfect Christmas themeing... A model of Liseberg when it opened 1923 Some creepie park employees... The spacesuit the rabbits had when they crash landed in Liseberg.. /// Marcus -

Visited the yearly book fair in Gothenburg last weekend (when I also took the latest photos of Liseberg) and I found this book at one of the exhibitors: They have it available in both Swedish and English if someone is interested. It's almost 2kg of the history of Liseberg /// Marcus -

2023-09-17 I attended my work on the yearly family day @ Gröna Lund. The weather was sunny for a day in the middle of September. I arrived ~20 minutes before the stated opening time and the entrance was already open and the attraction was running, so in under 30 minutes ALL open roller-coasters was crossed of, some more then once JetLine (still no accident report released yet) and Twister was closed.. No cue Almost empty station Some preparation for the Halloween season or someone has docked a old floating Chines restaurant in much need of restoration on the waterfront of Gröna Lund??? You could test some programming tasks and a VR-assembly tour of the products my company produces. Not a lot of space left in the park... The strap is still there, alas a bit more sun bleached... So after a couple of hours in the park I left for some sightseeing of the rest of Stockholm. /// Marcus
