New coaster for Gröna Lund!!

[Anonymous]

Credit whores rejoice!! there is yet another reason why you need to get to Gröna Lund this year, they are going to open yet another coaster!!

It's called "Tuff-Tuff Tåget" (Choo-Choo Train) and will be the smallest coaster they have there (even though it's actually 1 meter longer than Nyckelpigan (Tivoli Small)).

And to quote the Attraction Manager of Görna Lund about this new coaster "It feels really great that we now have six roller coasters, 50% more than Liseberg"

Wonder if this will make Gröna Lund the park with most coasters/m2 (they have 6 in 35000 m2)??

BPB still has 11 coasters, and the park is pretty small. Not that I can picture 35,000m2 though. :?

If the numbers on the BPB wiki page is correct then the park is 42 acres which is about 170000 m2, almost 5 times as big as Gröna Lund (so they are not even close)

Jeez, Grona must be bloody miniature! :shock:

It's about the same size as Adventure Island (buy making some quick measurements in Google Earth).

Well, if thats the case, Botton's Pleasure Beach has 4 coasters and is much smaller than Adventure Island.

Is that Ollie on the train?

I love the name (well, the Swedish translation ) and the Attraction Manager's quote. Just a shame it's nothing thrilling.

But the name and the quote really make me want to ride it.

It looks like a smaller version of the Mini Mouse Cartoon coaster at Parc Saint Paul. Although it was quite a dull experience, the stupidity and monotony was brilliant!

^ I'd imagine it's a clone... there are quite a few of these dotted around.
