    Grona Lund to Expand for 2024?

    Looks like there will be an upside down launch for the Vekoma thrill coaster. Perhaps part of the "worlds first" feature (but its not really)

    Fire at Liseberg's Oceana water park

    Note how the whole right side is blown out, but the explosion and start of fire was only located in the left side. In Sweden atleast I dont feel like I have ever seen a fire related explosion just blow up the whole building. Wth happend here

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    That seems quite excessive, if by hardware they mean just the track, launch elements etc. Fury 325 cost 30m dollars and that is in total, constrution is a large part of that 30m. But sure, FF could be north of 100m in total given how bespoke many elements seem to be.

    Accident at Gröna Lund - Jetline permanently closed update page 6

    Here is the best picture I have found of the accident. The third carriage from the front looks the most damaged, possibly causing some kind of crushing injury to the rider. I for sure thought that Jetline had new trains, or at least was recently fully refurbished? It ran great 2 yrs ago last...

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    Im gussing the lift hill will use LSMs like Maverick, more lift less launch. Might be cheaper or at least a more simple design then the worlds longest cable lift.

    Europa Park | Voltron | Mack Rides Stryker Coaster | 2024

    New spline in the track is interesting, I guess the four across seating is a little more stressful on the track (also hope for less rattle!)

    Vekoma Tilt Coaster coming to Energylandia in 202?

    That layout would also be perfect for Gröna Lund given the height restrictions that are in place (this is also a little wishful thinking ;) )

    Nice! Give me another 200 feet coaster and I might consider coming back! 😁

    Hutch's Trip Report Thread - Dutch Wonderland & Hersheypark

    I'm constantly surprised how temperamental coasters can be, you would think a 500 ton engineering marvel would be more consistent. Heres how I rank Helix over the years; 2014; Wow! Glass smooth, one of my favorite coasters. 9.5/10 2016; Wtf?! 2 yrs and its has this rattle? 7.5/10 2020; What...

    El Toro incident 25 August

    Regarding service life, many Arrow steel coasters have been running for 40 yrs, and I think a lot of them have not been retracked. So lets chill a bit with the doom and gloom ;) But regarding El Toro specifically, it will probably need one given that Balder and Colussos had one too.

    Hahaa I'm of the exact same opinion, I just love the free seating of Mack and new Intamins!

    Liseberg | Luna | Vekoma Family Boomerang | 2023

    Im pretty sure ive seen a news article mentioning there might be a ride placed in that location.

    Liseberg | Luna | Vekoma Family Boomerang | 2023

    Regarding the height I wonder if this isn't a case of 33m height with ~25m drop. Speed is on par with Volldampf, 60 vs 68kmh. Anyway, I always thought these looked really fun, will be nice to try it out. Liseberg is really expanding quite a lot the last 10 yrs

    Liseberg | Luna | Vekoma Family Boomerang | 2023

    I discovered this about a month ago. It just has to be mistake, using the ride names as the project name. The rest of the protocol is censored except for the names, which give everything away! I was hoping for more leaks and therefore didn't post anything ;) Hopefully we get Luna news soon!

    Liseberg | Luna | Vekoma Family Boomerang | 2023

    So about 2 and 1.5 million euro for attraction "1" and "2" in total. Seems like kiddie rides. As a total geek I wonder why the CEO is asking for 1 million more, seems like quite the wrong calculation was done in the beginning.. oooor this Is just standard procedure.

    Liseberg | Luna | Vekoma Family Boomerang | 2023

    It is confirmed to be a new attraction in the newspaper, its not the major expansion that will take place south of Liseberg. New flume seems most likely based on past leaks. Some other possibilities based on interviews with the CEO; High-tech attraction in the north of the park, after...

    Grona Lund to Expand for 2024?

    I also spotted this new render hehe, given that they have shown a similar render before I assume that there is at least a little bit behind the layout (even though nothing has been approved). They have been approved a max height of 45meters, so this is most likely what we are looking at here. I...
