Gröna Lund opens the worlds second super swing in 2025
Today, we are excited to reveal the new attraction coming to Gröna Lund in 2025. In April, visitors of the 142-year old amusment park in Stockholm, Sweden, will experience weightlessness, the thrill of the drops, and adrenaline-pumping excitement with next year's new ride, the super swing "Pumpen," (the water pump) which is guaranteed to rock your world!
The swing – possibly the oldest form of amusement that has been thrilling both young and old since ancient times. But now, after more than 2,500 years in motion, it's here in an entirely new form – more spectacular than ever! Today, we are delighted to present next year's new attraction at Gröna Lund - the super swing "Pumpen," which is guaranteed to rock your world!
"We want to offer amazing experiences for all our visitors, both young and old. That's why we have searched high and low for a unique ride that can be enjoyed by all ages. We have truly found that in this unique super swing, which we have chosen to name 'Pumpen.' Whether you are 4 or 84 years old, you will feel the same thrill in your stomach when you experience both weightlessness and falls combined with speed," says Gröna Lund's CEO, Jan Eriksson.
When this super swing premieres at Gröna Lund in April 2025, it will be the second of its kind in the entire world and the first in Northern Europe. Its unique construction with pendulum movements creates a ride that offers weightlessness, falls, and speed, giving a breathtaking experience for both ride experts and beginners.
With the swing’s pumping arms, it was perfect for an industrial water pump theme, with the design and architecture inspired by Gröna Lund’s history, specifically a building that hosted a variety show at the park in the 1930s.
"With over 140 years of history, Gröna Lund has tons of inspiration for new experiences! The style and architecture of Pumpen are inspired by a building that once stood nearby and hosted a vintage variety show in the 1930s. It also incorporates Art Deco design elements and will be a perfect fit in our childrens area," says Jakob Fagerström, Creative Director at Gröna Lund and Parks and Resorts.
