Gröna Lund in Sweden will premiere Snake, a new thrill ride, exclusively for the 2019 season. The new attraction will spin riders 40 meters into the air at 80 km/h, exposing them to 4.3 G.
Snake will become the park's most intensive ride so far, with guests seated at the end of a gigantic rotating arm.
The attraction type is a Chaos Pendle, manufactured by Funtime, where the gondola spins freely around its own axle, which means each ride is different from the next depending on the distribution of weight among fellow riders.
If this sounds like a ride you don't want to miss, beware, as Snake is only visiting Gröna Lund during the 2019 season. The attraction will be placed as a temporary ride in the area where Gröna Lund is preparing for the construction of its next big roller coaster, which premieres in 2021.
Magnus Widell, CEO of Gröna Lund:
"We want to invite our guests to a really cool attraction next year, and this is probably one of the most intense rides you can experience. It will only be at Gröna Lund during the 2019 season, so I hope everyone who dares to try it takes the chance and will go on it."
Snake opens at Gröna Lund in April 2019.
