Gröna Lund, Stockholm's beloved amusement park, is set to reopen next weekend amid the lingering shadow of a tragic roller coaster accident that occurred last June, resulting in the death of a woman in her 30s and several injuries.
The investigation into the Jetline roller coaster derailment, which has been attributed to a manufacturing defect, continues under the scrutiny of prosecutors for potential charges of gross negligence leading to death and injury.
As the park prepares to welcome guests, no new attractions will be introduced, and the Jetline ride will remain closed throughout the year, irrespective of the investigation's outcome.
State Accident Investigation Commission's report, expected by mid-year, will play a crucial role in determining the ride's future and the park's safety protocols.
Meanwhile, Gröna Lund officials have expressed a commitment to self-criticism and learning from the incident.
