Update time!!
Since the last update they have added a lot of smaller stuff to finish of the installation and preparing it for testing. They completed the pull-through a few days after they added the final piece, there is still just 2 car chassis on the track, I'm pretty sure that it will stay that way until they start to add the station building and get a floor under the station track. Yesterday they added the first of the 2 lift chains, and they are adding the second one as I write this. No sign of any station/control booth yet, so it won't start testing for a while...

^ Gröna Lund you mean?
RyanAir flies to Stockholm from 5 locations in the UK, then it's an one hour bus-ride to get into Stockholm, where you have to get a connecting bus to the park.
Anyway new pictures on RCDB:
I have to say that it looks really good, control room is visible in the lower right corner.
The 2 car chassis that have been attached so far.
These have been added to the cars on the track since this picture was taken.
Mmmmm...
Get that engine going, so you can start testing it.

What's...with...the...pink?
Honestly, don't get it. I thought the colours of the track were ackward, but added with pink. Lame IMO.
But otherwise, it looks great! How many trains are there for Insane? In Kirnu (and probably Inferno) there are three, with stacking occurring always. In Kirnu it goes like this:
1. Train dispatches
2. The first of the remaining two "trains" enters loading area, whereas the second enters unloading area.
3. Before the now first train gets loaded (no pun), the dispatched train already makes it way through the track and enters "station level", but practically it's still in brakes, and cannot thus unload. So, the passengers have to wait.
I hope this stacking problem will be fixed.

^ There will be 5 trains on Insane, and seeing on the webcam you can clearly see that there is enough space for all 5 in the station. I would guess that they load them 2 at a time to speed up the process, so they could easily have 4 trains in the station at all times and a lot of space to spare.

^ I really like the colours, they will work very well with the rest of Gröna Lund.
TPR will be going in June, so you can almost count that they will take both on and of ride videos of it, and I will also get there for the ride.

^ I haven't seen the ride testing more then driving the cars back and forth in the station area.
They are currently constructing the framework for the station-area, the control-booth looks complete and I haven't seen any work on the coaster itself for the past few days, so it's pretty much done for testing.

Looks like Insane have received a sponsor, it's now called: Tele2 Insane...
^Yay... now awaiting the next Tele2 package deal to be named Insane as well.
At least, it's not Superman.
