Gröna Lund

Stockholm, Stockholms, Sweden

    The city of Stockholm sits on fourteen islands, and Djurgården Island is home to museums, monuments, galleries, historic buildings, public gardens, and the Gröna Lund amusement park.  Gröna Lund, which translates to The Green Grove, is tightly packed into 15 acres right on the Saltsjön Bay waterfront.  The park started when Jacob Schultheiss began putting amusements there in 1883.  His family owned the park until it was sold in 2001 to Parks & Resorts Scandinavia AB, a Swedish company that operates some parks and zoos.  Over 30 attractions are now crammed into this limited space.  They range from historic rides like the 1935 Blå Tåget (Blue Train) ghost train, the 1883 Circus Carousel, and the amazingly entertaining 1917 Lustiga Huset (Fun House) to modern rides like the 122-meter (400-foot) tall Eclipse StarFlyer swings, the Katapulten (Catapult) Shot and Drop Tower, and some fantastic roller coasters that are interwoven amongst themselves and other rides.
