Gröna Lund | Monster | B&M Invert | 2021

In recent years, parks seem more interested in giving their coaster elements new and unique names than doing the same for the actual coasters themselves. Doesn't matter if the ride is called "Roller Coaster" if it has a Bent Inverted French Horn Spin somewhere in the layout.

Phantasialand must have had some paint left over.

Pretty ingenious theming there on that last picture. Gonna look like stairs going down to a subway station.
Can't wait to see the final result!

Saw this on Theme Park Magic's Facebook, not sure on original source...



It's insane! Shows just how crazy, and impressive, putting this ride in really is!

Thanks for these. For those who dont know almost 1/3 of the park is beaing rebuilt with new facilites, bars etc. The biergarten area looks great

For a second there couldn't see the supports, definitely a very unique coaster

Does anyone know how much this total project is costing? Grona Lund is one of my favourite parks, and when I visited, everything was so tightly compacted together, so it must be one hell of an engineering team to get this whopper put in!

I be like: "What supports?"
<looks again>
"Holy crap, those supports that actually go through a building". ?

I’m with @Howie and @VonRolland here; it took me 2 or 3 viewings of the picture to even see those supports! The way the park have squeezed this in is nothing short of obscene!

This was taken today morning, lift hill supports seem to be all in place!

Fun to get a little taste of what the skyline is going to look like ?

*Meanwhile in Batavia, Ohio*

@Antinos and I had the chance to swing by Clermont Steel to see what latest B&M track was rolling off the line. For painted track, it was looking more supports for Monster, and a portion of the Zero-G or Corkscrew inversion. Also spotted a few dozen unpainted track sections, fabricated but awaiting their paint job.



Pretty cool to see a coaster being made on both sides of the pond!

I always forget just how ginormous their tower rides are. Ikaros and especially Eclipse look massive against that skyline.

Apparently Sweden’s public health authority are saying the current restrictions will be in effect for another year at least... this might become a 2022 Coaster.

Good lord, investing that much not to be able to run it. Massive shame

Welp, at least Tusenfryd will have their Intamin quite built by the time I am able to out to visit this in turn.
