This gives me Rookburgh vibes. Colorful theming, coaster track wherever you look... I'm sure it will be awesome

[@verybighomer]

That was my first thought, too. "That area could also fit well into Phantasialand"

[@assemblyrequired7342]

It definitely has a steampunk look to it. I was also thinking that it wouldn't look too far out of place in Disneyland Paris, if they ever wanted to provide Space Mountain a companion coaster.

[@drdewott9154]

Holy moly, Gröna Lund has been COOKING! That Vekoma looks incredible. Frankly I wish we could get even a bit of this creativity at Tivoli Gardens. We havent had a major new ride in over a decade, our last new roller coaster was 20 years ago, and the only new ones since have been exact replicas of the older ones they replaced.

[@christianwestling2019]

As someone that lives in Stockholm and goes to Gröna Lund atleast once a year, I really welcome this expansion. It's been talked about many years, but if this is what will end up happening, it really was worth the wait. Absolutely love that they go with the late 19th century theme. It will fit like a glove with Gröna Lund and the surrounding western Djurgården location.

[@FAFO4wisdom]

A vekoma Spagetti Bowl!?!? yes please! This looks like a lot of fun.

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

I like that.

[@YesItsEpic]

I love roller coaster tycoon 3

[@maxhagenauer24]

Same, honestly it's usually better than planet coaster.

[@GoudLoodje]

@@maxhagenauer24definitely because rct3 doesn’t explode my pc lol

[@maxhagenauer24]

@@GoudLoodje Do you either have a massive park with a ton of stuff or a bad PC? Because most people can run planet coaster fine.

[@youtubekilledtrustedflaggi9274]

planet coaster is obviously superior but RCT3 is still fun.

[@maxhagenauer24]

@@youtubekilledtrustedflaggi9274 Honesty, sometimes rct3 manages to have more realistic physics than planet coaster.

[@O_SimardCasanova]

The already impressive come back of Vekoma is getting even more impressive year after year. What a redemption!

[@kevinkaplan]

I worked there before but haven’t in a few years but I might need to go back, get that job back and investigate this more, I’M SO EXCITED 😱 Finally Gröna Lund can expand!

[@alphawinnergx9127]

I really hope their Jetline coaster will reopen, this would make a great top 3 with monster and their new vekoma !

[@jwideuluisinaein]

In-case you haven't heard, sadly Jetline will be demolished

[@awkwardturtle7973]

Vekoma quickly becoming the manufacturer to watch

[@ATLSloan]

Absolutely love Grona Lund!! Easily the best park in Sweden and excited to see such a large and detailed expansion. Also, that park is the best in Europe to get to, from, and around on a Bird/Lime e-scooter

[@StamfordBridge]

You like this park more than Liseberg?

[@Potatwielder]

Liseberg has better rides, but gröna lund is in a better location

[@Lazarus1095]

I love parks that compress many things into small areas.

[@Rollercoaster_breath]

the flat ride in the near center is 100% a Zaperela GRYPHON just look at the center and the arms!! I am soooo exited to see the construction updates on this because it looks so compact!

[@kirillsadventure]

Where is the intro?

[@VRGUY_583]

IDK?

[@handledav]

why does there need to be

[@meesta11]

It was a good run. I'm amazed that it lasted as long as it did. Lol.

[@gregg5958]

That looks absolutely spectacular and a great addition to the park.

[@thomaseriksson3182]

Wow! My home park🇸🇪✌️

[@colestaal5686]

I completely forgot about the expansion and the new concept art is really cool. The coaster looks like a lot of fun. The first flat you mentioned looks like a Zamperla Gryphon. The green oval roof building could be for bumper cars. The catwalk is throwing me off though.

[@CoasterHorizons]

the coaster looks like something i’d make in planet coaster and i’m here for it

[@djstoplichtofficial]

The track in that trebuchet launch teaser from last year perfectly lines up with this concept art, I think this will be very representative of the final launch speed of the actual thing.

[@teddym2808]

I am seriously loving Vekoma these days. They have gone from my most hated manufacturer to top 3 for me, and B&M have gone from my top to barely top 10. Amazing how things can change.

[@JAXXNCREATED]

The RetroFuturistic theme is so good, I hope this expansion doesn't get changed again cause this art looks S tier!

[@mikgus]

I want to see that part in 2036 when have cramed 4-5 more coasters in that area.

[@TylerEaves]

The green mystery building looks like a ride to me. Perhaps Dodgems or some sort of Waltzer or Whip?

[@williamthomas7170]

The two story building has bumper cars on the ground floor

[@joostverra9130]

Definitely would expect this to take longer than 2 years

[@mysticprophecy5395]

Yeah, this is something that will at least be done by 2030, they are still in the process of getting their building requests approved

[@Tintinkhr]

​@@mysticprophecy5395no? They are not they got approved 2 years ago but denied 3 years ago and they are saying they are gonna start building later this year

[@Tintinkhr]

​@@mysticprophecy5395and they have planned this since 10 years ago

[@whoknew2273]

Great view if you live across the road

[@assemblyrequired7342]

I'm really digging the theme that they are going with. It's almost like somewhere between Victorian/Steampunk, and the Future-That-Never-Was. Also, who else wishes that most parks were designed this way, where they treat every square inch like the prime real estate it is? Very efficient! I'm kind of hoping that it is a quick launch into what I can best describe as a somersault loop. Unless the restraints/seats are really comfortable (not a bad thing for any ride anyways), hanging upside down with minimal acceleration can be VERY uncomfortable for ANY amount of time. Learned that the hard way one time on an Inverter fair ride. Nearly crushed my balls! NEVER AGAIN!!!

[@agent5tm902]

As a Gröna Lund fanboy and ex ride-operator at the park, my exitment and antecipation for this amazing expansion is thru the roof!! I can't wait for this to be done and I want to be one of the first to step foot in this new land!! Wish I could have a time machine and go ride this freaking roller, it's the icon that Gröna Lund always needed! (not to mention how big of an icon Monster is to me) But to sumon my comment up, I'm crying happy tears because it will happen and I'm thankful for this video 🎢🎡 Edit: and yet again I'm left abandoned behind the dumpsters behind Gröna lund. I'm not an attention seeker, I'm just like the other commenters...Just feels sad not getting likes or any replies 😭

[@LucasNinoMusic]

This coaster looks world class, i'm predicting around 2026/27 it'll open.

[@Bald_Zeus]

This is super cool but I don't think this will open before 2028, probably more like 2030. I was there last week and from what I could see they haven't even started yet. They probably haven't gotten all permits finished yet, they probably haven't finished ground testing and gotten their "detaljplan" approved. If we're lucky they might start construction next year.

[@GeorgFKa]

On the first floor of the building at 3:25 we can actually see two objects that may be some kind of pods or gondolas - so there might even be another flat ride!? Maybe someling like a modern take on the whip? (Totally wild guess obvsl.)

[@CoasterStudios]

Good catch! Perhaps a flat ride on the lower level and something else on the upper level?

[@kevinkaplan]

I’m from Stockholm and I’ve worked at Gröna Lund and I’m pretty sure they are going to bring back the bumper cars! When they removed the old ones several years back, there was a lot of backlash and I think they’re meaning to put them back in. So my guess is they’re coming back and seem to be amazingly themed🙌🏻

[@Tintinkhr]

​@@CoasterStudiosits bumper cars

[@reteledman]

wow

[@imaginationsquare]

Vekoma is the best manufacturer. Fight me.

[@arturobianco848]

2027 would be perfect need to go back to scandinavia anyway and thats the first year i really get time for it. if its 2026 that would even be better most of the really busy crowds should be gone then in 2027. But the coaster looks a lot better then abyssus can't wait to try it out.

You mean square feet, not feet (when giving the area measurements).

Correct

[@tepetti]

That concept art looks like AI to me. Maybe it isn´t meant as definitive plans but more like trying to capture the vibe. I mean that the coaster and other rides may or may not be anything like on these concept pictures

[@nivel1891]

They've confirmed it is hand drawn.

[@burthhollebeke6386]

Ride it in the first two years after opening.. after that it'll be another Vekoma back-breaker...

[@Levi2010X]

Bro have u ever ridden a new-gen?

[@orcaboi1558]

i was a liseberg kid growing up but this makes me happy that grönan gets a bit more space to work with. last time i was there, it was extremely crowded and tight. so glad to see them actually getting a new themed area.

[@aviatigertirasha7386]

gröna lund have alot off people in it, but the queue isnt that long on the scarier rides like monster and insane, tho twister, kvasten and vilda musen always has long queue due to them being a mid scary ride for kids, all lisebergs rides have a massive amount off queue and a full park

[@CancelHappiness]

Did you forget the intro?

[@kay_sou]

Grona Lund looks like Micro Park from RCT if it was made IRL.

[@Tehkenny1]

Hope this is the case, will be legendary. Not really because of the theming and the coaster, but that this will be in middle of central Stockholm together with whats already Gröna Lund. Will surely be a sight to see.

Awesome update thank you :))

Wow. Like..wow I would make a trip there for this park.

[@marcussorenson3380]

I'm gonna guess 2030 at best when it's gonna open since they want everything to look complete and not half done

[@Tintinkhr]

Nah bc they are gonna start building this year and it definitely does not take 4 years i would say max 3 years but maybe 2

[@marcussorenson3380]

@@Tintinkhr I can't disagree with you on that but we have to remember they go heavy on the theming around the ride when the coaster is finished

[@Tintinkhr]

@@marcussorenson3380 they are very fast with planting trees and nature but other coasters have took like 1-3 years at gröna lund so if they do everything with a big time at the same time i doubt it would be over 3 years

[@Tintinkhr]

[@william._.sandberg]

I’m still curious for what their plans are for Jetline. If they removed it and built a new roller coaster perhaps an intamin blitz. Then Gröna Lund might get their ”signature” ride.

[@joecandish3923]

This looks awesome love new gen Vekoma Lech Coaster, F.L.Y, Fonix, Formula, Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind and Hals uber Kopf. I would prefer before this project starts to fix up both Twister and clarify whats happening with Jetline whether its done or not.

[@smaz9]

Hope Worlds Of Fun or one of the smaller Cedar Fair parks get one of these, this could be a real game-changer if they managed to get their hands on this. Go Vekoma!
