Gröna Lund
Gröna Lund (Swedish: [ˈɡrø̂ːna ˈlɵnːd, ɡrøːnaˈlɵnːd], lit. 'Green Grove'), or colloquially Grönan (Swedish: [ˈɡrø̂ːnan]), is an amusement park in Stockholm, Sweden. Located on the seaward side of Djurgården, it is 3.8 ha (9.4 acres) in size, relatively small compared to other amusement parks, mainly because of its central location, which limits expansion.[citation needed] The park has over 30 attractions and is a popular venue for concerts in the summer with its three event venues. It was founded in 1883 by Jacob Schultheis and is the first and oldest amusement park in the country.
The area has been used for amusement purposes since the early 18th century. In 1883, a German man by the name of Jacob Schultheis rented the area to erect "carousels and other amusements", at which point it became known as Gröna Lund. Until 2001, descendants of Schultheis owned Gröna Lund. Since 2006, the park has been owned by Parks & Resorts Scandinavia AB, which also owns Kolmården Wildlife Park and Skara Sommarland.
Gröna Lund features several attractions, including a tunnel of love, a funhouse, and seven roller coasters. It is also known for the various concerts held on the park grounds. It has notably hosted ABBA in 1973,[citation needed] Bob Marley in 1980, "Weird Al" Yankovic in 2015,[citation needed] and Dua Lipa[citation needed] and My Chemical Romance in 2022.[citation needed]
On 25 June 2023, one person was killed and nine others were injured after Jetline partially derailed. The park was temporarily closed after the incident. On 3 July 2023 the park reopened without any rides operating. On 5 July 2023, all rides except Jetline reopened. Jetline remained closed as it underwent an investigation by the Swedish Accident Investigation Authority, which concluded on 14 June 2024, when it was announced that an improperly manufactured replacement control arm was to blame for the accident, and that Jetline would be removed. On 28 January 2026, Gröna Lund was sentenced by the Stockholm District Court and fined kr 5,200,000.
