I think it's fab, but I'm so used to rides taking forever to commission. There's always this massive gap between construction completed and first test train, then another massive wait before first riders are allowed on.

Different commissioning regulations in Sweden vs the US?
IAAPA said:In Sweden fixed site amusement rides are under the jurisdiction of the National Swedish Police Authority (FAP 513-1). All rides shall be inspected and approved by an independent inspection body authorized by the Police and certified by SWEDAC – both in connection with the first construction of the rides and later in connection with yearly examinations. Inspection certificates, permitting the opening of the rides, shall be visible for the users of the ride.
All inspections take place in accordance with SS-EN 13814:2005, which is identical with Euro Norm 13.814 (however with certain additions) as well as all relevant (EN-) standards concerning electrical installations, fire safety, etc. Furthermore all rides must be constructed in accordance with the Swedish building codes as well as environmental legislation. Finally the amusement rides must be constructed and operated in accordance with the national health and safety laws, meaning amongst other things that risk assessments must take place for all working procedures.
As part of the Swedish safety scheme, the operators of amusement rides must keep a log concerning all maintenance as well as internal inspections. This log is accessible to the independent inspection body as well as public authorities.
