Grona Lund's New Monster B&M Inverted Coaster Opens April 24th

It seems like years ago that we first heard about Grona Lund's plan to somehow squeeze a B&M inverted coaster into their already packed park... and that's because it was. Way back in 2017 news of the ride first came out, and at that point it was slated to open in 2020 but the pandemic had other things in mind. Fast forward to now, and the seaside park in Sweden is finally ready to open the Monster on April 24th.

The ride starts with a below ground station, needed to help fit the ride into the crowded park, and then a lift hill of 111 feet into the air. There is a swooping drop after that, and then right into a heartline roll, one of the ride's 4 inversions. The trains swoop above and around the park's buildings, compleing two flatspins and a mini-Immelmann inversion as well. The ride has a top speed of around 55 miles per hour and a track length of just under 2,300 feet.

Monster had been testing quite a bit ahead of its grand opening in a couple weeks, here is a video of the trains making their way through the layout - looks like a fun ride indeed:
