When will it be dismantled?

Schwarzkopf coasters will always be loved. Even after more than 4 decades.

This ride was not built by Schwarzkopf lol

I was due to ride it the day after the accident - I had a reserved ticket. It was like a national day of mourning when it happened. The whole city (Stockholm) seemed to know about it immediately as there were helicopters and emergency vehicles arriving from all directions. The whole park shut down for many days afterwards and it was viewed as a national tragedy. My ticket was fully refunded!

RIP Schwarzkopf, the birth of great coasters.

May the rider that sadly passed away that day rest in peace. 😔 People should not be hurt on rides, let alone have their lives taken away. It’s a hard and sad truth, accidents do unfortunately happen. And it’s a tragedy when they do happen. It’s also a shame that this unique classic ride is planned to be deconstructed, perhaps Gerstlauer could have made new trains for this ride, but it’s much too late for that now. If the park still works with Intamin, I feel that one of Intamin’s Hot Racers would work really well as a replacement for this coaster.

When it comes to incidents parks have to assess how decisions will affect their reputation. They could have refurbished & reopened it but would people have trusted them, after the scale of this incident I doubt it. I don’t thinks there’s any way they could have reopened it without a serious backlash

@@matt64allison Pretty much it sadly. And while yes some rides may have reopened since their accidents, usually when that happens, it's due to human error. This was a serious accident that got huge publicity. It almost got The Smiler permanently axed as well as rides like New Texas Giant and the now defunct Mindbender

actually both where clone's and they both didn't have the mountain that the og one had.

Maybe Gene Staples could save Jetline from being dismantled by Gröna Land and can be refurbished and rebuilt at one of his three IB Parks & Entertainment properties.

Sorry to say but it's too expensive for them to do that instead of dismantling it. Gröna Lund has lost enough money and are going to lose more in payout to other survivors and victims. But foremost, it would not feel right to keep a ride where someone tragically lost their life on. I grew up riding jetline, and it was one of my favourite rides there as a kid but I would not feel ok riding in it with anyone of my family after this, not just because of safety concerns but because someone died while riding on it makes me feel uneased and not thrilled like when I was a kid.

Ha! It's a traveler, with a big out and back added to the beginning. Beautifilul!

That was spectacular

Designed by Schwartzkopf built by Zierer. A curved chain lift. How did they design that?

But it will never be enough to replace this in my opinion. I’m really going to miss Jetline

Esto es terrible! Ésta montaña rusa es unica! Es un icono mundial. En el peor de los escenarios, deberian haber hecho un retrack completo con nuevos trenes y componentes mecanicos, pero manteniendo el layout original. Es una pérdida enorme para el mundo de las montañas rusas. Vekoma o Zierer podrian haber hecho una réplica.😢

Siiiiccckkk I love this ride

i will miss jetline was y favorite ride at Gröna Lund i remember taking i multiple times one afternoon as there were no one in line just keep going for 5 time in a row

Aw bummer! It looks so fun.

Hopefully they get a new coaster in this place🙏♥️

I feel like removing Jetline is the best option. With Gröna Lund's popularity, fixing the ride and reopening it wouldn't even put a bandage on something that needs a tourniquet.

No, it will shut down for good. 😢 I was actually a bit worried that it would crash once again some time.

I can imagine Gene Staples running all the way across the Atlantic, Flash-speed, to purchase the coaster before it is scrapped as Indiana Beach definitely needs another coaster that killed people before

Another of my bucket list coasters gone. It's a real shame.

This is the kinda ride only Schwarzkopf would build. They really just took a portable coaster and where like "What if whe add a massive turn way outside the Layout so travelling with it would be bigges pain in the rear end possible?"

While the layout has similarities to older travelling coasters by Schwarzkopf this wasn't constructed as a portable ride, so nobody thought what adding the turn would do to its travelling capabilities.

@@Rand0mYTuser01That’s on a completely new plot of land though. For Jetline I don’t know if they can add anything new without dismantling Vilda Musen, their Gerstlauer Bobsled, too, since it is built on Jetline’s support structure and its layout is probably in the way of a layout for a Jetline replacement. Though knowing Gröna Lund managed to build Monster, I have a very small amount of hope something worthy will replace Jetline

The sad reality is that there aren’t really no accidents; they are just built differently. They happen even when every knob is tuned just right, and every variable is set exactly right; it’s all a matter of what you have no way of ever knowing-until it’s too late, and the damage already been done. Sadly, Jetline was no exception to this very cardinal rule at all. The managers of its park had no idea that some of their most “trusted” maintenance workers had figured it would be kinder to let more people onto the ride despite faulty wheels and wait until closing time to fix them rather than just shut down the ride temporarily and just be OK with sacrificing some visitors’ time over sacrificing entire fun family memories. Naturally, these true buffoons were caught circumventing safety protocols, terminated and most likely sent to prison. But you can’t ever fix the problem of broken hearts and to rub salt in the wound shattered families as a direct result of these tragedies. Not even to mention ripple effects that can change the course of history for worse, such as how Jetline will most likely be demolished in the upcoming months in the wake of this mess. But there IS the sole silver lining to all this. We can still learn from these, and move on as much stronger people. That’s the whole point behind learning brand new stuff every day; it is all in the unknown, it is only when you crack the code that YOU as a person know about it at all. We can even make an attempt to prevent a bad future from ever happening before it does happen, and vouch to prevent Jetline from being torn down and never rebuilt. Being a ride intertwined with many others, without it, the beautiful tangle gets less and less colorful and more and more bare, eventually just turning back to just a mediocre group of a few coasters and just little to nothing more. Come on, try it today. Jesus’ even there if you ever need help.
