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.
