Jetline was a steel sit-down roller coaster located at Gröna Lund in Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden. Opened in 1988, it was built by Zierer and BHS, and was designed by Ing.-Büro Stengel GmbH and Schwarzkopf. In 1997, it was modified by Maurer Söhne to have a longer and steeper drop. A tunnel at the bottom of the drop was also added. In 2024, it was announced that Jetline would close for good.[1]

Incident

On 25 June 2023, a train derailed causing the death of a 35 year old woman and injuring 9 other passengers, some of which were children. Passengers were reportedly flung out of their seat.[2] The roller coaster was closed for investigation. In June 2024, the investigation concluded that replacement parts for the trains were not sufficiently strong and had not been tested sufficiently.[3]
