Double the Thrill: Gröna Lund Takes Home Two European Star Awards

We are so happy for Gröna Lund!

Once again, they have secured a top position on the European amusement park map. At this year’s prestigious European Star Awards in Barcelona, the park was awarded two top honors.

Ikaros claimed first place in the category Best European Thrill Ride – for the second year in a row.

Since its inauguration in 2017, Ikaros has become a must for adrenaline seekers, thanks to its unique tilting drop mechanism.

Pumpen, Gröna Lund’s 2025 novelty, won third place in the category Europe’s Best New Big Attractions.

The new family-friendly yet exhilarating experience has become an instant success. Pumpen, is only the second attraction of its kind in the world – and the first in Northern Europe. It is a giant swing with pumping and pendulum-like motions that create sensations of weightlessness, speed, and free fall.

We’re thrilled for the entire team, who continue to strengthen Gröna Lund’s position as one of Europe’s most innovative amusement parks.

If you didn’t get the chance to try out Pumpen this season, or are seeking an adrenaline thrill with Ikaros you still have a chance. The attractions will be open during Halloween at Gröna Lund – and we can’t think of a better time of the year to let out a little scream as the park transforms to spooky for Halloween.
