Jetline was a roller coaster at Gröna Lund in Stockholm, Sweden. It had gained worldwide recognition for its curved lift hill, an anomaly amongst roller coasters. It opened in April 1988 as a clone of the Knightmare roller coaster at Camelot Theme Park, England. In 2000 it was modified by Maurer Söhne to have a longer and steeper first drop, with a tunnel at the bottom.[1] Knightmare pulled 5 g while Jetline pulled a more reserved maximum of 4.5 g.
On 25 June 2023, one person died, and nine were injured in a derailment.[2] Afterward, the ride was closed permanently.[3]
Ride experience
The ride started with a curved lift hill that carried the ride vehicle to a height of 32 metres (105 ft). A right turn lead into the first drop, which lead into a short tunnel and a turn back towards the station and the rest of the ride. The ride vehicle entered a short brake section, then the second drop. The maximum g-force of 4.5 was achieved at the bottom of the second drop. The second part of the ride was composed of banked turns and helices. The last helix lead into a tunnel and the station.[4] The total duration of the ride was approximately one minute and thirty seconds.[1]
