RollercoasterTigger Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to visit Stockholm to judge a rat show for the Swedish rat club. Whilst there I was able to visit GronaLund for 3 hours before our flight home. The only downside for me was the fact that is was so hot (around 30 ish). The park is stunning considering how small it is. Jetline wasn't running so I didn't get to have a go. I managed a few goes on Insane which is exactly that - I couldn't work out if I liked it or not. Very much a much do ride regardless. Here are a few pictures that I took during my short visit: View from the footbridge Otherside Insane trains Insane Insane Insane Twister I really quite liked this. It is very compact.

gisco Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Nice pictures of the park but I would like to know more of this rat show you were judging. Have any pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Did you crown a King Rat? Insane is one of the most appropriately named rides anywhere. I thought I'd be "one and done" with Insane, but ended up riding five or six times and really liking it. Grona Lund is just a great park in general.

simon8899 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Sadly Jetline was down again - I was lucky that it was up again in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GayCoasterGuy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 One of my top "must get to parks." I really need to get one of those job things So... How exactly *awesome* are Jetline and Twister? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollercoasterTigger Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Rat show info is here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=62924 I like Twister. I managed a back row and was quite surprised by it. It's quick and very smooth considering the tight space it is built in to. Can't say about Jetline yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon8899 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Twister really holds up to its name - very tight, quirky and packed layout making lots of fun. Short but intense pops of air on the last row. Jetline is - of course - Schwarzkopf great - fast, high Gs, after the first round around the latter section of the park it reminds a lot of german carnivals Alpina-Bahn.
