Gröna Lund Jetline replacement

Already on RCDB:

With the rcdb page reporting that it will share the support structure with the Vildare Musen, which makes sense since that's a Gerstlauer too and will obviously need a whole new support structure.

It would be great if they re-used Jetline's tunnel and routing over and around Twister and Kvasten.

Edit: I just realised rcdb says the Vilda Musen (Wild Mouse) is changing its name to Vildare Musen (Wilder Mouse) when it reopens.
 
Does anyone know where we can find the rest of this planning document?
I have it here, all of the building permit documents can be retrieved by sending an e-mail to the Stockholm City Planning Department.

Here's a good recent view of the site, the building is now taking shape, complete with footers coming up through the roof. The blue structure and stairs on the right hand side of the photos are from Vilda Musen's old lift hill, but interestingly the track has been removed but the rest of the structure remains.
Looks like quite a big space! Excited to see what they change about Vilda Musen too, and hopefully they can keep growing over the road once this is all sorted.

P.s. Don't forget to remove the "&igsh" and everything after it from Instagram links if you want to keep your profile semi-private!
 
Isn't this gonna be a Gerstlauer airtime coaster like Mecaladon? I'm confused by the building, unless it's indoors, which would be interesting.

Building will apparently be storage and another attraction, coasters will both be on top. Heavens knows how they're gonna do it but Gröna Lund always finds a way.

Not too much will change for Vildare Musen. The Airtime Coaster will be mega interesting simply because Mecalodon has been it so far, and that's the complete opposite of what this coaster will need to be, spread out and low to the ground. Fenix (assuming that is the name) will have to be compact and go tall in order to fit track.

It also just occurred to me that Gröna has also never had a launched coaster and this could potentially be that. The Vekoma seems to be on hold until they can clean up the current park.
 
So…

Construction has reached a pretty solid point where we know of and have a clear visual of the footers on top.

I kinda really want to be wrong here, since this is Gröna Lund we’re talking about, but these do not look like enough footers for two coasters. Just the Vilda Musen. Reality just doesn’t seem to be meeting what’s on paper.

Never underestimate Gröna Lund. They always seem to find a way.

On another note, the latest issue of First Drop features an article about Jetline. In it, the official Gröna Lund Tivoli historian who wrote the piece states that "the park plans to build a new steel coaster on the same site, though no opening year has been announced."

I don't know how much trust to put in that, but First Drop seems to have a pretty solid reputation.

If anyone wants a better overview of the footers, I have attatched a permit application that has a illustration of the roof.
