  • "In an interview with Dagens Nyheter (major Swedish newspaper) the CEO of Parks & Resorts, Christer Fogelmark, stated that they are in talks with several manufacturers regarding the coaster. He also stated that it's supposed to include a "world's first".
  • He also said the expansion is fully financed and planned to open in 2028. The building permits submitted now are for the perimeter buildings, which will be the first to be built.
  • The theme for the whole area will be the Stockholm exhibition of 1897 during which a 100 meter long large hall with displays of the latest machinery was situated on the same spot as Gröna Lund now will expand.
Interesting that they're still in talks regarding the coaster. The concept art is definitely the Vekoma Airtime Trebuchet, but maybe that changes?

People are throwing out “what about the tilt coaster for energylandia” for a potential other option.
 
For those of you wondering the coaster—it sounds like it’s the Vekoma Airtime Trebuchet model.
 
Might be worth splitting off into its own thread, I'll throw it here in the meantime.

It appears the large Vekoma thrill coaster in 2028 has been paused, and now we're expecting two new rides in 2027: a new indoor dark ride and a Gerstlauer Airtime Coaster (named Fenix) to replace Jetline!

Technically it'll be 3 new rides for next year, as the existing bobsled coaster Vilda Musen will be significantly reworked to structurally tie into this new coaster.
 
Full docs attached below if anyone would like them, no imagery yet. Courtesy of the CoasterForce thread.

This is a win for the park and also such an oddity, because this is still going to be a very compact space and Mecalodon is anything but. Building tall with a low to the ground multilaunch will be interesting, especially because they can't really pull out the vertical launch card on this one.
