Rill'o'beily Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 ^^ They did also make a three carriage version, if that was possible again with the 8 seat gondolas the capacity would be still bad but at least better [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Not sure where they'd shove a ride like this but Gröna more than anyone would probably find a way to put a HUSS Jump2 somewhere if they wanted to EDIT: ^ I don't spot any changes to the layout itself but mainly to the support structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Some of those turns and clearances look really tight. If I may speculate, are we going to see B&M do an inverted looping coaster with TWO-across seating for the first time? Some of those revised support structures look like they've learned some lessons from their inverted family coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 It looks like the updated layout got rid of the final inversion (inline twist). Very interesting, but still super cool they are cramming this ride in an already crammed park. ^I think you may be on to something regarding the two-across seating. It's difficult to really tell now but I'm sure it's possible and given all the tight clearances, I wouldn't be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totopez Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 According to Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, and Magnus (the CEO), the Bumper cars will relocate to Furuvik, and Snake will occupy its spot during 2019, while the new Coaster is built. After that, it will relocate to another park within Parks and Resorts. The area where the bumper cars and Biergarten are will have a complete overhaul, most buildings will be demolished and replaced, and the park will build a boardwalk along the water from Snake all the way to Bläckfisken.

cookiex Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 ^So Snake will only be at the park temporarily or am I misreading it? The 2021 B&M reminds me of Black Mamba in a lot of ways. Wonder if it'll feel just as tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if it'll feel just as tight. That is correct. Snake will be there in 2019, but then relocate. Funny thing: The headline in the paper reads "Gröna Lunds new attraction: a rotating "vomit machine""... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alejon Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 A capacity nightmare, but looks really fun, I'll be sure to check it out next year! Moving the bumper cars to Furuvik also makes sense, a great addition for the target group. As to where Snake will be moved i 2020, my bet is Skara, but time will tell.

A.J. Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Hey, I won! Do I get a cookie this time? Interesting that it's temporary, does this mean that it's going to be a trailer-mounted ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alejon Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 The weather has been really nice in Stockholm this weekend, so I took a small trip by Gröna Lund to see how far they've come on the construction. Pretty far actually! Behind the fence there's a big hole, the station for the new coaster will be underground. This is where the bumper cars were last season The crane fits right into towerland!

KarlaKoaster Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Thanks for the pictures, I was wondering yesterday how construction was coming along as this is likely to be a very difficult build. It will definitely be interesting following this one. This will be a perfect case study to use for whenever someone says a park 'doesn't have room for a new coaster' for generations to come.

A.J. Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Thanks for the pictures, I was wondering yesterday how construction was coming along as this is likely to be a very difficult build. I'm still betting that we'll be seeing B&M do a two-across train for this coaster. I remember that earlier concept rendering and those clearances look tight.

The thing is, this invert is being built AWAY from the main rides section (the clump of beautiful, tangled coaster mess along the boardwalk). The land has always been there but no one bothered to think Grona would use it for a new coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 It looks like Snake (their new Chaos Pendle flat ride) will be a brand-new installation.

They announced their intentions to be a coaster there almost a decade ago. The government and locals near the park have been holding up the process for years.

The government and locals near the park have been holding up the process for years. I was trying to point out that Grona Lund has always had that land. It’s not like they bought a new parcel or anything— this situation is most simply put, alike to Disneyland building a coaster over the entirety of Main Street USA. From what I have seen and gathered together this invert is going right over the entry street— no, not a front gate coaster like Fury 325 or Gatekeeper— but rather right over the shops and restaurants that make up Grona Lund’s entry area.

coastered Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Gröna Lund posted an impressive construction update on their facebook page.

Rill'o'beily Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Advice needed, I've been to the park twice but I can't remember for the life of me if any of the rides had bins to put backpacks etc. in. I'm going in a couple days and I won't lie, not super excited about the prospect of paying almost 3€ at each opening of a locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Damn, how far down do they go, to hit water? That's pretty something. Makes one appreciate how much effort, work, and materials go into creating a new thrill for the gp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
