A theme park was fined nearly $500,000 after a fatal roller coaster accident. One person died and nine were injured when a roller coaster derailed in June 2023. The Stockholm District Court found the park negligent, citing a broken support arm and failures in safety systems. The park's operator provided insufficient technical documents for replacement parts and did not verify welding qualifications. The roller coaster, "Jetline," never reopened after the incident. The park also faces additional compensation payments to victims.
