It's the cost that they will pay to the constriction firm NCC (about 600 millions) and for the slide hardware (about 200 million) in order to get the park opened. When the park burned up it was basically in the commissioning phase. It was almost finished and testing was soon starting. They had...

Demolition of the old slide tower and roof is now finished and reconstruction has started. The reconstruction will cost 800 million SEK and take approximately 2 years. It is a very difficult process due to the necessity to go through every component and either decide to replace it or keep it...

That wasn't a fine due to a criminal court conviction. It was a sanction fee ordered by Finansinspektion. Klarna did not commit a crime. These are different things.

Sweden is very conservative regarding company fines. The record fine was 14 million SEK given out earlier this year to a forestry company. Otherwise fines rarely go over 10 million SEK. The 18 million SEK (about 1.6 million USD) is very small compared to what Funtime is charged. The Jetline...

An update. Gröna Lund are rejecting the charges. Their lawyer stated that Gröna Lund didn't commit a crime and shouldn't pay anything. They don't want to go more into detail due to the pending legal battle. Now to the opinion phase. I find this pretty stupid by Gröna Lund. The Swedish Accident...

It's my writing that isn't. I summarised and translated a pretty long Swedish article. Let's rephrase it. The manufacturer did not know they were creating a part for an amusement ride but anyways lacked the necessary competence and certifications to produce parts for amusement park rides. That...

The charges for this accident have just been revealed. The main component at fault was the load bearing upstop arm. It was manufactured badly, broke and caused the accident. The prosecutors in the case are pursuing significant penalties for the three companies involved in the tragic accident at...

Does anyone have insight in what specifically the judge attributed to funtime in this case? What did they do wrong?

Liseberg could very well do this but they don't. Weekdays out of season the park is a ghost town but they still always fully staff it and have everything open. It might make sense for them to look at opening the park more but have less staff, less trains and less outlets open on slow days.

In an incident report to the Swedish Work Environment Authority, the police have now established for the first time the cause of the large fire at Oceana. "When welding the water slide, a fire started which then spread to the rest of the building," the police write in documents to the authority...

A pretty good and explanatory video with the CEO of Liseberg regarding the Oceana tragedy. Sadly it's in Swedish/Danish.

An update on what has happened around Oceana. Two weeks ago on the 21/2 Liseberg held a memorial for Oceana in Luna Park. A bunch of Liseberg bunnies were there offering hugs, the big carousel was open and a lot of sombre staff members were present handing out bunny plush toys. It was overall a...

I have still not gotten used to seeing Oceana like this everyday. It's truly a sad sight. Here is a drone video of it.

I guess I have already gotten answers to this. According to this article, it's pretty much a combo of all the methods @Hixee mentioned. After 80 hours, the fire is still buring. On Tuesday night, the supporting roof beams started collapsing. Right now 3/9 roof beams have collapsed. Most of...

How do you think this making safe could work? If the building is too dangerous to be entered and at risk of eminent collapse. Will the current burned structure be strengthened to allow investigators in or will the unsafe parts be demolished before investigators are allowed in? Also does...

In total Liseberg say that it has taken 10 years. Just water park construction has been about 2.5 years. I dont remember exactly but it started after I moved here so second half of 2021. I would expect a rebuild to take at least 2.5 years considering they will need to investigate, design...

Here is a picture of one of the collapsed beams. More structural parts keep collapsing and the fire is not yet extinguished. I'm no engineer but this really dosen't look salvageble. It looks like laminated timber to me.

In that example a temporary construction lift will be installed until the actual lift is installed and commissioned. Don't fire systems work in the same way. Until the permanent one is installed a temporary one is brought in? Another example. I am the chairman of my student housing, we just dug...

GP just published an article including an interview with a fireengineer who worked on the fireplans for Oceana. He says that most of the fire systems were not yet in use, including fire alarms, sprinklers, various barrier techniques, passive fire prevention, etc. He says that this fire could...

I just took a look towards Liseberg, Oceana is burning and smoking again. I found this picture with a better view than I have. My apartment is one of those lights you can see behind the fire. Source: GP
