Gröna Lund receives harsh criticism from the Accident Commission following last summer's fatal accident. Visitors to the amusement park who spoke to TT feel safe riding the attractions.
We think what happened has improved safety, says visitor Mia Lindgren.
The amusement park in Stockholm is bustling with visitors on this Friday afternoon. The old entrance to the Jetline rollercoaster is hard to find and has now been rebuilt. There are benches, and visitors are sitting down to rest.
Karin Solberg Carlsson is a regular visitor to Gröna Lund and has ridden the Jetline many times – ever since she was 12 years old. As she walks past the attraction, she feels sadness over the accident in which one person died.
Do you feel safe visiting Gröna Lund and riding the attractions?
It feels safe. I'm here with my son and his friend, says Karin Solberg Carlsson.
Gröna Lund announced earlier on Friday that the Jetline will be dismantled – a good decision, thinks Karin Solberg Carlsson.
It's sad about everything that's happened. It's probably for the best.
Mia and Emil Lindgren are visiting from Luleå. They feel safe visiting the amusement park.
We do, anyway. We think what happened has improved safety, says Mia Lindgren.
You hope so, anyway, adds Emil Lindgren.
It's not something that happens often or regularly. So you think they've gone through everything, says Mia Lindgren.
Nike Strandman has ridden most of the attractions during the day. She thinks it's good that the Jetline has been closed and will now be dismantled.
I think it's good. It shows respect for the family, says Nike Strandman.
