Jetline was a steel roller coaster at Gröna Lund in Stockholm, Sweden. It opened on 23 April 1988 and was built by Zierer. In 2000, it was modified by Maurer AG to have a longer and steeper first drop, as well as to feature a tunnel at the bottom of the drop.[1]
On 25 June 2023, a derailment occurred, causing the death of one rider and injuries to nine others.[2] The ride did not operate again after this incident, and was eventually dismantled.[3]
The ride started with a curved lift hill that carried the ride vehicle to a height of 32 metres (105 ft). A right turn led into the first drop, which was covered by a short tunnel. The train turned back towards the station and entered a short brake section before falling into the second drop. The second half of the ride was composed of banked turns and helices. The last helix lead into a tunnel and the brake run.[4] The total duration of the ride was approximately one minute and thirty seconds.[1]
