Gröna Lund has announced that their brand new inverted roller coaster will open on June 2, 2021.

Monster is the largest ever investment at the park in Sweden, at a total cost of 450 million Swedish Krona (44 million Euros). It will be 111.5 ft tall, reach a top speed of 55.9 mph and feature three inversions; two Zero-G Rolls and a Corkscrew, plus a Jr. Immelmann.

We recently spoke with Peter Osbeck, the Senior Ride Manager at Parks and Resorts Scandinavia, about this special project. Read our exclusive interview.

Magnus Widell, CEO of Gröna Lund:

“This is by far the biggest and greatest ride in the history of Gröna Lund. The whole construction process was so extensive it started three years ago in the fall of 2017, long before the pandemic. With an entire year lost to the coronavirus, it's even more important to start the season of 2021 in the strongest possible way. And that’s exactly what we will do with a ride like Monster.”

Johan Tidstrand and Mattias Banker, owners of Gröna Lund:

“We've travelled the world for years visiting different amusement parks and we've tried out hundreds of roller coasters. That's why we proudly, and without exaggerating, can say that Stockholm now will get a world class roller coaster with the premiere of Monster.”

Peter Osbeck, Senior Ride Manager at Gröna Lund:

“34 meters up, at the top of the lift hill, the first drop will plunge riders towards the water at 90 kilometers per hour. Riders will be upside down no less than four times as Monster soars above Gröna Lund, passing both the Fun House and our Zac-spin coaster Insane.”

Monster will open at Gröna Lund on June 2, 2021.
