Gröna Lund


Gröna Lund is one of the best amusement parks in the Nordic countries. It's located in the centre of Stockholm, so they don't have much room for expansion. They have only 3,8 hectares of land to use. Placing Vilda musen inside Jetline's structure showed that they can pack up the small park area with even more thrills!

Besides the two big rollercoasters Jetline and Vilda Musen, they also have two freefall tower rides and a Mondial Top Scan spinning ride. Gröna Lund offers lots of rides for the whole family and the kids as well.
