During the pandemic, Gröna Lund was hit hard. The amusement park was closed for over a year and a half and was almost completely without revenue. The closure after the accident will be another financial setback for the amusement park.
"An interruption means that we have no revenue," says Christer Fogelmarck.
At the same time, he emphasizes that the accident is a very serious and tragic event, and that they should primarily be available to those affected.
Believe in opening on Monday
Christer Fogelmarck believes that Gröna Lund can reopen as early as Monday.
"At the moment, I think we can feel ready to open after seven days," says Christer Fogelmarck.
However, the accident-prone ride Jetline will not open next week, but will wait until the investigations into the accident are completed.
"It is important for us to find out what has really happened and, based on the information we have, make a decision about the future of the attraction.
Crisis support for staff
Over the next few days, Gröna Lund will hold meetings with its employees where they will receive information about the work right now and the plans ahead. The employees also receive salaries while Gröna Lund is closed," says Christer Fogelmarck.
Furthermore, the employees are offered crisis support after the accident, primarily conversation support. Those affected by the accident and their relatives can also get crisis support, and Christer Fogelmarck says that they have telephone numbers for a crisis line on their website.
