Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

Since there has been nothing going on at all around these parts, I figured i'd post this for any late night lurkers.

Right now they are throwing up bents like nobodys business. It looks like the kind of ride you'd see being crammed into Indiana Beach, and actually has a support structure similar to the 2 major IB woodies. If you shorten the URL and go to Grona Lund's website you can find artwork and video for this new ride. Also Sweden is 7 hours ahead of Chicago time, they seem to work from about 7am-5pm or converted to our time, roughly midnight til 10am, depending on the weather of course, it's been nasty there the past week or so.

GronaLund is just a crazy park to begin with! It amazes me how their rides are so twisted & unique...the only reason Insane "fits" in is due to its vertical-ness but it just screams a parks name like GL or IB cause theyre compact & awkward little machines, but when these parks put in "normal" coasters like Cornball express or the new Twister, it blows me away!

Agreed,

If anyone watches this week though they are on X-mas break apparently, no work the past few nights/days.
