Gröna Lund
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tivoli Gröna Lund (lit. The Green Grove) is an amusement park in Stockholm, Sweden. It is located on the seaward side of the Djurgården island and is relatively small compared to other amusement parks, mainly due to its central location, which has cramped its expansion. Gröna Lund is a popular venue for concerts during the summer.
Gröna Lund features most attractions common to amusement parks, such as the tunnel of love, a funhouse, as well as three roller coasters, including Jetline designed by Anton Schwarzkopf.
Gröna Lund is also known for its rock and pop music concerts; the capacity record is held by Bob Marley who attracted 27,000 people in 1980, which had been his third performance at the venue, already having played in 1977 and 1978.
The park is owned by Parks & Resorts Scandinavia AB since 2006 controlled by the Tidstrand family.
