Going from Kvasten to VIlda musen saying how "Smooth" Kvasten was must have been whiplash

They are sadly gonna disassemble Jetline now but it probably for the best to avoid any accidents in the future. One thing to keep in mind also is that Jetline was about 40 years old combined with poor maintanence.

as a swed, i will always love how non Nordic or Scandinavian people pronounce, Å, Ä and Ö. 😂

You know it’s a good day when coaster dash posts

So I was just in a discussion on a Facebook coaster forum in which someone was wondering how much could be crammed into the tiny area of the Mattel park in Arizona, and it got me researching how small a significant park could get. The stats for Gröna Lund absolutely stunned me. People were talking about my home park, Canobie Lake Park, as an archetypical small park, but I realized that all of Gröna Lund can nearly fit into the angle of the L formed by Canobie's Yankee Cannonball at the north end of its parking lot.

22:08 Holy shat, that is one the most beautiful shots I've seen in a park video

jetline have been there longer then Ive been alive it feels like. ive done jetline so many times and so many great memories from the ride, if there is one ride that is the main attraction at Gröna Lund Jet line is number 1 no doubt. it's a old ride and sooner or later stuff happens to everything that being said. to all who where on the ride that faithful day you have my thoughts

“Be prepared do a lot of things that’s probably illegal in America!” 🤣 Sweet video again!!

Minus the Jetline tragedy, this park looked so chaotic and I’m here for it🤪🇸🇪

As a Swed it’s really fun to watch people from other countries visiting places like this! Great vid man!

16:02 "For some reason this park has three very different drop towers." I worked at Gröna Lund in 2001 when Katapulten (the Space Shot) was new, and the park already had Fritt Fall from 1998. The reason the owners of Gröna Lund liked adding another drop tower attraction at that point was that it was easy to fit on a small space compared to a roller coaster. That said they've managed to fit *so* many new coasters into the park since 2001! I don't think I've been to Gröna Lund to go on rides since ~2012, so I've not been on half of those coasters. I say "to go on rides" as I've been to a couple of concerts there since, and most notably I got to see Weird Al Yankovic there in 2015.

Man, the location and views are incdredible

Monster: showing Tivoli Gardens how to properly fit in a small B&M in an urban amusement park. That looks like the most creative layout on an invert this side of Nemesis.

You missed a credit: Nyckelpigan. The kiddie ride coaster next to the entrance. I can say from personal experience that it's actually surprisingly fun for a kiddie ride.

This park looks very interesting. The way everything is so compact, with coasters weaving around all over the place and using buildings with their supports, etc.makes the park seem like it's something from a sci-fi movie (Blade Runner or A.I. for examples). As I've mentioned before, I love B&M inverts (some of my favorite roller coaster models) -- so, I would love to ride Monster. It does look like a great coaster. I'm not a fan of wild mouse coasters, but the one at this park actually looks like it would be a fun ride because of its unconventional wild mouse layout, with those curvy/winding dips and turns and some punchy-looking drops. I appreciated your commentary on Jetline that was done with a lot of respect towards the victims of the accident while also addressing issues with the ride and others that have been involved in similar type accidents. I've noticed that there is a population of coaster enthusiasts who tend to overlook or downplay -- and even sometimes make light of coaster accidents that could have been avoided if better care was taken by the manufacturers or the parks -- whomever is ultimately responsible for the accidents caused by mechanical issues. Ride accidents of such magnitude are a very serious matter, not something that people should just shrug their shoulders about and sweep under the carpet. So, good for you for sharing such an honest and respectful commentary in regards to this.

Back when I was a kid (probably 20 years ago at this point) there was a power outage as I was riding the ghost train somewhere at 21:50 :D even scarier that it's supposed to be!

Lustiga Huset (The Funhouse) and Blå Tåget (The Ghost Train) are ancient. I am 48 and I went on those rides as a kid (late 70s). I remember that flying carpet ending to be one of the highlights every time I visited and I remember having my eyes closed most of the time while riding on the ghost train with my dad. The only rollercoaster left from that time is Nyckelpigan (the kid's coaster on the opposite section of the park from the one you showed). There was another traditional rollercoaster back then that was located where Jetline is today. By the way, Kvasten means 'the broom(stick)' so it has that witch theme going.

This is a very cool park I love how everything and every coaster is like intertwined with each bother and how all of the coasters are so unique

I’m a super proud swed! so happy to see other countries visit places like this! Å , Ä , Ö

Im from Sweden and live fairly close to Stockholm. I grew up with at least one trip to Gröna Lund every summer as a kid. And as a teenager I was crazy for the thrill rides! Jetline was my absolute favorite growing up, I remember that I couldn't ride it for years because of the height requirement. So I am gutted that it's been decided that the ride will be disassembled...but I also completely understand. As a lonely adult, I haven't been to the park in forever. I do hope they introduce another rollercoaster, as they are my favorite rides. And sometime in the future I can experience it.

most important visitors commute by bus tram or ferry to the park so no cars or parkinglots.. as a kid in the 1980its we did sneak in the "waterway" in swimming trunks and clothes in a plastic bag..haha yepp the water in Stockholm is so clean that u can swim and sunbathe in the middle of the city..there even some beaches..and alot of cliffs

Reminds me of the Hollow at Hersheypark but the whole park. Love it!

Absolutely love this video and your reactions to all of the rides! I live close to Gröna Lund and have been there many times, so it was fantastic seeing it trough someone else’s eyes!

How can you say the ride is cloned, while you ride the original? Kvasten was the original of these layouts.

Update on Jetline it’s getting demolished as soon as possible

The youtube video "Lustiga Huset - Gröna Lund (SVT 1987-10-16)" on the channel "Rosa Mannen" shows video of what Gröna lund looked like after the old Funhouse burned down in the autumn of 1987. The documentary is about the rebuild of the Funhouse. The documentary claims that Walt Disney went to see Lustiga Huset when he sought inspiration for Disneyland, but he probably visited many park.

hahah I once rode Insane 10 times in a row when there was a concert going on and no cue time :D

Fun fact. Monster has OTSR because vests require a larger clearance envelope

Oh yes im swedish and this is a super compact park ^^

I'm Swedish and I've never thought about it like that 😅

Great video guys! I enjoyed it a lot!😄😄😄

Jetliner isn´t a Schwarzkopf, its a Zierer / BHS (predecessor of Maurer Rides) And the Chapultec Parc did not operate Quimera as intended, they turned off the brakes and I think the maintenance wasnt that good also

Kvasten was the protype version of the layout and it shows

15:33, that scream sounded like something straight out of one of those family vacation comedy movies

I do feel your buddies dizziness after visiting the fun house. The tunnel that keeps spinning realy easily make you feel drunk and fall. Somehow some ppl don't get affected at all by it, others can barely walk through it. (I'm being one of em) I assume it was the cause for his dizziness anyway, i'm not 100% sure if it's still in there since it's been awhile since i last visited.

"kaavasten"😂

Let’s go more coaster dash vlogs!!!

As a person that visits Gröna Lund every summer I didn’t knew it was compact💀

Jetline is made by Zierer, and also is maintained by Zierer. Zierer is on scene to evaluate what happend. Only the layout is designed by Schwarzkopf.

The glazing is crazyyy

You got only ~1 flip out of Insane... It's kind of unpredictable (and some would say that's the fun part). Depending on how the weight is distributed, you get a ride of like 4 flips sometimes, and sometimes none...

The park is so beautiful, especially at night.

Reminds me a lot of Blackpool pleasure beach

People WHO knowes about what happend there

Jetline has always been my favourite, perfect starter and ender for a day there.

Looks like a beautiful park. I will never ever do a starflyer though. My reaction would be similar to his.

You guys could have taken the 2 minute ferry ride that stops right outside the entrance of Gröna Lund instead of walking that whole way. Anyway, it is such a shame what happened to Jetline. It was such a great and enjoyable ride. I really hope they get to open it again. The ride has been open since the late 80's and haven't had any serious avcidents before. It may be past it's due date, but hopefully not.

That ghost ride is not scary. it just attempts to destroy your hearing...

I once saw a woman pass out infront me of in the queue of Blå tåget. She was so scared :P Great ride tho and great video

"I can not get used to this ride, it's ridiculous." - 22:25 Well, I once spent a day primarily doing this one ride over and over and over again. Did it at least 80 times in a row, starting early in the morning and few visitors that day, so didn't even have to queue most of the time. And nope, it were still fairly unpredictable even by the end. Unlike other ride that has the same patterns, Insane is just a bit inherently random, and that makes it interesting. Some rides on it are good, some are bad. But the least fun aspect of it is being in the queue bellow the last drop. More than once have I listened to the sound of a rider's phone flying out their pocket and crashing into the water, or against the floor in the pit right before the station. Though, sometimes the dropped phone manages to crash down through the tight nit net above the queue, seen it myself more than once. But yes, Gröna Lund is a very compact amusement park and more than once have they discussed expanding out. They have their eyes set on their parking lot outside, it ain't much. But they can like fit 3-4 coasters and a bunch of smaller rides in that 8000 m² area, adding about 50%. Since yes, Gröna Lund does use a lot of vertical space and has no qualms about having coasters going through each other as clearly showcased in this video, now there is also plenty of other attractions besides the coasters as well. I guess you will have to return in the future to try Twister, it is a good ride. Especially if seated at the very back, where it almost whips one over each drop. Unlike at the front where one slowly creeps over each drop and only really gain speed when one is already a decent bit down the slope. (though, this is partly true for all coasters) Though, it is a bit sad to see Jetline go, it has a lot of charm, but hopefully they will replace it with something new. All the newer coasters are much shorter in comparison, so hopefully whatever replaces it has a similar ride time.

Jetline has permanently closed if I recall correctly, I guess they’re gonna replace it with a new coaster

I have to ask. How old are you? You dont look too much older than me. (Im 19) And how do you afford all these trips?

The Defunctland channel has a short documentary about Green lantern. They rebuilt it a couple of times to fix the problems and made it worse. So depending on when you rode it, it was a very different ride.I don't know if they did the same changes to Insane but it doesn't look like it.

Didn't Zirrer fixed some of the Schwarzkopfs maybe they should keep care of them

I've loved Gröna Lund ever since I was a kid and one thing my dad taught me was to ALWAYS be on the back seats on any ride, that's how you get the most whiplash at drops xD doing that on Twister will always be the best imo. I hope y'all ever get the chance to go on it because it's my familys favorite ride hands down

Nice vid!

@CoasterDash I am sorry to say, a couple months ago they have made the decision to shut down and deconstruct Jetline. I wonder what they will replace it with, if anything.

I feel Josiah. To be an enthusiast and get dizzy/sick at times. 😑

That Starfiger are the biggest in the word

Grownah Lond

Monster has OTSR Invert trains because the vest restraint trains would be too wide.

Liseberg better

U found a lucky day to go, usually it is fucking smacked with people😂

30K* not more for the legend Bob Marley at Gröna Lund 1980

btw.. Bob marley still have the record for biggest audience

Insane came first, opened in 2009 and green lantern opened in 2011. So it’s not that weird insane is that much better, green lantern is a bad knock off. 😅

Sad you didn’t see jetline. That was my favorite coaster in the park

i went on Jetline only a week before the accedent.

They announced Jetline will be dismantled! 😭

Nooooooooooo you didnt go on the best ride nyckelpigan

you're right that a lot of accidents happen on Swartzkopf coasters and all of them are derailments of the last car...

I used to love going to Gröna Lund. And theme parks overall. However, the last time I went to GL it was very crowded, far more than it was intended for when it was built. In 4 hours I got on as many rides, 1 every hour. The rides are great, but it just didn't feel like it was worth the money. You may be used to it in the US, but here (imo) any more time spent in queue than 20-30 minutes is terrible. Glad to see you enjoyed it though!

This is the most ugly park in the whole world! And it sucks because you pay emtrance and then for each ride. Difficult to find something uglier!!! Stockholm in summer is beautiful, aweful in winter: But they could have put some effort to make the park a little estetic.

I am born and raised in Stockholm and i really hope another amusement park get buildt soon because Gröna Lund is way to crowded and small.

As a Swede I prefer Tivoli in Denmark, honestly.

To answer the title: Yes. It holds a record for being the most dense amusement park (highest attractions per area ratio) in the world.

oh yeah july-september 2023 was horrible with rain you should have been there in may-june when it was only sun no rain and wasn't a fun time to work outside sweating buckets

I found Timber's restraints not to be very unforgiving and hurt the ride. Then again that was opening day so they could have tuned it in 4 months. Wacky Taxi doesn't have this issue and Voyage uses PTC's-and I'm just tall and two rides that are basically the same having such extremes of stapling baffles me

Was twister at Grona lund open or closed?

This park is now under investigation beacuse of a tragic accident. Well, that is to be determined

Twister was still "closed for maintenance" late August unfortunately... (so basically end of summer season for Sweden).

Im from stockholm and im pretty dam proud of Gröna Lund. Its a great park and i have a lot of good memories from it

🇸🇪 🎉

I get what he’s saying about how intense inverts can be, because I went on Montu yesterday and there’s some seriously intense elements because of how tight it whips you through them and into the near miss underground ruins. Especially that batwing 😅

Ok hi so I was in gröna Lund and I was with my two brothers and my cousin like we was in a group and me I’m 10 and my cousin and brother are like 20+ I went on insane monster, I went on the one that will flips you like you’re going to fall. I went on that mouse one I forgot the name and that red one like the haunted kind of scary and that funny house and there was this spinning thing on the floor, and all of us was got stuck in it and that upside down thing like the roly and that’s it that was my favourite memory in Sweden now I’m back in Windsor I love those time. We go there 2023 July 24 or idk 25 idk and my brother 1 of them was so scared he didn’t go on that scary ride 😂😂😂it was good memories ❤❤❤

Was at gröna lund like 2 weeks after the accident and there were NO lines

I love Gröna Lund but I think Liseberg in Gothenburgh is just objectively better.

Yes yes it is and monster is just illegal no vertical loop on an invert that’s just a crime and if jetline was closed for your visit here’s why 2 months ago a girl died after falling out of her seat

Liseberg is better

Great video! I'm really looking forward to the Finland Vlog! This is the most compact park I've ever seen. Lots of great rides and coasters! The Mindbender accident happened in the 80s though and the roller coaster industry's regulations weren't the same I think. Yeah that accident reminds me of the one at the German park last year before you uploaded.

Good vid good channel boys. Keep it up!

I work there! :)

This year, only a couple of weeks ago, Gröna Lund decided to close Jetline for good. A sad thing but maybe for the best. RIP Jetline.

Ishowspeed

Did the park during Covid need to come back there looks like so much fun now all the other things are open.

Darn, sucks Twister was closed for you guys. Would’ve been interested to hear your thoughts on it

-vilda- -musen-

was it not in Gröna Lund where a accident happen and someone died like last summer?

Gronna laund 😂
