Grona Lund Review, Stockholm Amusement Park | How Did They Fit in So Many Rides?

[@chuck4714]

This is definitely one of my biggest international bucket list parks

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's an awesome park.

[@Thefury325]

I don’t know how they managed to fit all the rides and coasters in, however that Vekoma new gen coming next year looks to be their best

[@CanobieCoaster]

Have they confirmed it's a 2025 addition?

[@Thelightning1out]

@@CanobieCoasterI don’t know all I know is it could be opening in 2025 or 2026

[@generalclumsy5923]

Man I went here so many times as a kid. Never went on the coasters, can't stand high speeds and such but I loved the funhouse and the games not to mention the food and the atmosphere in general is just cozy. It's strangely heartwarming hearing such a glowing review of a childhood staple for me

[@CanobieCoaster]

The atmosphere is amazing as well.

[@verybighomer]

They have really made a lot out of the available area and nothing looks like a bad compromise. The new expansion is very beautiful and will even step up the game in the coaster thrill department.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm excited for the expansion.

[@ScottyMania313]

I love that they got a Giant Flying Carpet ride. The sound it makes as it goes down is amazing. I love it when it pauses on top before flipping direction. Weird Al would approve.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It has great Gs.

[@mitchellries256]

This could possibly be the best boardwalk style/seaside park in the world if you're only comparing it to parks like the ones on the Jersey Shore or the California coaster and not ones like Cedar Point.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is definitely up there. Blackpool would be close too.

[@christianwestling2019]

Been going here since I was a kid. Always nice to hear an outsiders perspective. And I agree, it's great. I hope they nail the expansion.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Me too.

[@CoasterChamp]

This looks amazing. Monster is so underrated!

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a great ride.

[@lokstollen124]

I love the atmosphere too! My grandparents which live near Stockholm usually go there just to take an ice cream and walk around the park without riding anything, shame that the prices have gone up so much though

[@CanobieCoaster]

I will pay it for the quality product.

[@callejidell3836]

Hi am watching this on my break. I work at Gröna Lund and really enjoyed your video. Loved to hear all the butchered Swedish names. Good video 👍

[@CanobieCoaster]

Glad the mispronounciations brought you joy lol

[@jonasfermefors]

The concerts have great artists and you can get a season pass for 395 kr that lets you get into the park any time you want. This summers (2024) lineup includes: Alice Cooper, Keane, Bruce Dickinson, The Offspring, Ellen Kraus, Heart, Hellacopters, Dropkick Murphys, Deep Purple, Mando Diao, Alphaville and Dizzy. There are lots of smaller - often Swedish - artists too.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@MattMcIrvin]

I compare it to Canobie Lake Park--if you nestled Gröna Lund into the L formed by the Yankee Cannonball, it would extend about as far south as Canobie's entrance gate.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's crazy!

[@arturobianco848]

Good clipp again. Have to go there again when the vekoma opens.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I can't wait.

[@DrPepperone]

Would love to see you play Rollercoaster Tycoon now that you mentioned it haha

[@CanobieCoaster]

I used to play it a lot.

[@moondaughter1004]

Also a good thing to know. They increase the public transport during events. I went to see My chemical romance and there were more trams and bus departures after the show. The wait time for the boats also decreased. I managed to get home before midnight

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's good to know!

[@MagnusOsterlund]

All the names were impossible to understand if you didn't have subtitles, but not easy when you don't know how Swedish is pronounced or how the Swedish letters ÅÄÖ sound. I haven't been to Gröna Lund since I was a child, so it was interesting to see what the park looks like today. Very good work.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Sorry for any mispronounciations.

[@MagnusOsterlund]

@@CanobieCoaster Don't be sorry. As a Swede, it sounded a bit comical, but you did the best you could. I wouldn't have done it better if I tried to pronounce names in a language I don't know. Keep doing what you're doing, mispronounced names just add charm.

[@thomaseriksson3182]

Welcome back..about 2 years from now😅 they are gonna extend and make it even better with boardwalks etc!👍💯🌹 For 2024 season..you got new entry pays and offer wristband or single ride tickets ..thats like it exactly before the covid pandemy resteictions👍

[@CanobieCoaster]

Can't wait for the addition.

[@lowpointfair4653]

probably the park that i have been to most tied with kolmården. been to liseberg and tomtelilla to but that was a while ago. balder was fun but that lift made my fear of heights worse. vilda mussen or wild mouse i used to like as a kid but i stopped going on it cuz it was quite rough and it got worse each year, it could have gotten better recently. jetline accident was quite a shock, there has barely been accidents like that. kvasten i really like it means broom btw, twister is quite nice but the cues are pretty long when its open. lustiga huset or funny house is a must do whenever im there.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice that you can visit those parks a good amount.

[@alexgeorge501]

Reminds me of the scenario "Dinky Park" from RCT where you were given a small park and have to fit in as many rides as you can without being able to buy extra land for your park

[@CanobieCoaster]

Makes sense.

[@clairefunnell8481]

Very fun looking park. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is awesome.

[@nightwoo_]

Looks nice

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a great park.

[@Colakaktus]

Remember when me and my friends used to speed run the "Lustiga Huset" to see who could finish fastest. Good times, great park.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@Unknownety]

A small correction. One can drive out to the park without any permits. Finding parking however is not trivial. Especially in the future when the park has expanded out into their parking lot. A parking lot that they have wanted to expand out into for decades, eventually the city decided to say yes. The park has gotten a lot more roller coasters in recent years. Jetline were effectively their oldest one, and sadly it won't open again as it will be taken down this winter. Hopefully it gets replaced with something of similar ride duration. Since that were part of the appeal with Jetline, it took a fair bit of time to ride, and given the number of trains it operated at once it churned through the queue at a decent pace. Also, I personally see it as a missed opportunity that Monster doesn't go through Insane, but maybe that were impossible, if only Insane had slightly bigger holes in it. Given how most of the other coasters intermingles with each other, it would have been interesting to see.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks for clarifying the driving bit. I'm never going to park by the park though based on what I've seen.

[@jwideuluisinaein]

Gröna Lund used to have a water ride, although it was later removed to fit in more better rides. Who knows, they might add one later in the future. Gröna Lund have had many interesting rides in the past.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Maybe!

[@Rami-rk2jr]

I find insane to be the most fun ride in Gröna Lund. I have the gold card so I am there atleast once every two weeks. To have the best ride on insane you have to have a big weight difference.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Insane off-balance is wild, but they usually balance it well.

[@DemiCape]

@@Rami-rk2jr To me when I got on Insane back in 2015 It was pretty lame and boring of a ride if you compare it to rides like balder in liseberg.

[@Rami-rk2jr]

@@DemiCape Sometimes if you are unlucky that happens, but Liseberg is definantly better so i cant argue against that

[@DavidVitrano]

Move Rail Blazer to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, as part of expansion that goes all the way up to the edge of the San Lorenzo river.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I doubt Railblazer would leave the chain if CGA closes.

[@petter5721]

I read that the accident was due to a faulty part from the manufacture. It was not visible during installation and inspection. Poor quality control probably. Sad!

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's unfortunate.

[@lucawejle9659]

sometimes vilda musen is open, me and my friends are actually the reason that kvasten is open on some concerts

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@RankingTheMouse]

Super sad to hear about the death of a guest in 2023 on Jetline. That's terrible to hear

[@CanobieCoaster]

It was tragic to hear.

[@aldoparise1224]

Before I visited this park I used to think that Knott's Berry Farm was landlocked.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I know!

[@lull2439]

0:00 lmao that pronunciation mentally scarred me 😂. anyways, great video 👍.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm so sorry. I don't speak Swedish.

[@Thelightning1out]

Going to universal in like 5 days should I rush to hagrids as it gets a long line?

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Definitely it usually has a 60+ minute wait all day

[@CanobieCoaster]

If you're onsite and have early entry, you need to arrive very early to beat the crowds. I find it most efficient to get in line for Hagrid's right before park close.

[@FadwinOOO]

i live in sweden, i go to grönalund almost every summer it never gets worse

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@meanmanturbo]

Twister was open as of atleast 2 days ago since thats when I rode it.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Awesome to hear!

[@jwideuluisinaein]

It was closed because they were swapping out the tracks 👍

[@LyricalSteeler]

Great amusement park!

[@CanobieCoaster]

It really is!

[@askjeevescosby2928]

Any news on that derailed coaster. Is it open again?

[@ElectriKong-]

No. Its future is still unclear.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is still closed for investigation.

[@albinlundblad1714]

Fun fact. Swedes go to grönalund at least 7 times a summer. And that’s an understatement. I average around 8-9

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@DemiCape]

That is a bit inaccurate, not every swede lives in stockholm and has access to grönalund 7 times per summer. It takes like 5 hours on train to get to stockholm where I live in sweden, so at most once per year if we decide to go to grönalund is maximum that we can do.

[@Motbilder]

Nah. Gröna Lund has 700 000 visitors per year, including tourists, so your numbers do not add up.

[@DemiCape]

Forgot to mention something earlier. That is, the fact that you also have to take into account that most people still have jobs in summer and doesn’t have time to go there in the first place. So many factors, like location and time that makes it impossible for the average swede across the entire country to visit grönalund 7 times per summer.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

Why don’t we have these Gerstlauer Bobsleds here in America

[@ElectriKong-]

The Gerstlauer Spinner is pretty much a bobsled with spinning cars. So you technically do have bobsleds, just the spinning versions.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Not sure, but I wish we had some.

[@bigc1280]

They need to replace the zac spin with a Sky Rocket ll.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I like both models.

[@Tharosthegreat]

Its GrÖna Lund... The Ö isnt optional. O and Ö are two distinctly diffrent letters.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Sorry for the mistake.

[@AG7-MTM]

I hope after the 2025 vekoma project they can replace Jetline somehow

[@CanobieCoaster]

Is the Vekoma happening that quickly?

[@mironesson]

Jetline will not reopen again (FYI)

[@CanobieCoaster]

I heard. RIP.

[@mikaelowe8430]

the red coaster kvasten on gröna lund is called broom in english and vilda musen is called wild mouse so pls use english words when you are talking about the rides cause its sounds wierd when you try to pronounce it in swedish since you arent a swedish talking person i think🙂

I definitely don't know Swedish. I tried looking up how to say the names, but sorry if any were mispronounced.

Gronalund is an unsafe death park. Period. Maintained rides don’t derail and kill prople. It’s just yet another park owned by corporate greed that cuts corners for profits and does not care about guest safety.

[@lkeshow86]

So Alton towers is a death park to?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I was sad to hear about the accident. I haven't felt unsafe there and I'm sure the park/government will make sure something like that doesn't happen again.

[@Pottan23]

The last time someone died at Gröna lund was in 2015 and it wasn't even a ride, guy climbed a railing and jumped 5m instead of taking the stairs. Awfully safe for a death park considering jetline has been standing since 1988 and we know it was manufacturing error that caused the accident, the part that broke was only a month or to into its lifespan.

[@moondaughter1004]
