Gröna Lund Jetline replacement

Roller Poster
Gröna Lund has just recently applied for permit to dismantle Jetline including station building and the building housing the fortune wheels next to it. At the same time they have applied for permit to build a two storey building on the plot of land. The new building will host three fortune wheel kiosks as well as well as a warehous on two floors in the part of the building towards the sea. More interestingly the other part of the building is stated to be an indoor ride, taking advantage of the full height of the building. The floorspace available for the ride is 628 m2, which is a bit larger than Blå Tågets 490 m2 making my personal guess that this would be some kind of dark ride.

The building will have a flat roof and Vilda Musen is present in the drawings as well so that won't go anywhere it seems.

Worth noticing also is that the Reverchon music express "Rock Jet" situated on top of the building "across the street" from this permit application was closed this off season, so far no word on what will be replacing that.

City of Stockholm has the information posted above including the drawings which are very general and not finalised. To be able to actually view them you need to log in with an electronic ID, you might have some luck with non Swedish ones as well as it seems to be supported.
 
Oh. Kinda disappointing if it truly is a dark ride replacing a coaster, especially when Jetline was my favourite thing at the park. Dark rides are fun and all, but they're not ever gonna be worth the same as a coaster or big flat ride to me unless it's like Efteling or something.

Agreed. I know the accident was serious, but I think permanently closing it was a bit extreme, especially since it was a good coaster and so well integrated into the park, making it hard to replace.

That said, it was an older ride and possibly a maintenance burden. Maybe the accident just gave them a good reason to finally shut it down.
