Jetline is a roller coaster at Gröna Lund in Stockholm, Sweden. It has gained worldwide recognition for its curved lift hill, an anomaly amongst roller coasters. It was opened in 1988 and was a clone of the Knightmare roller coaster at Camelot Theme Park however It was modified in 1997 by Mauer Söhne to have a longer and steeper drop. Knightmare also pulled 5Gs while Jetliner only pulls 4.5. A tunnel was also added at the bottom of the first drop.[1]

The drop leads in to a short tunnel and a turn back towards the station and the rest of the ride. The ride vehicle enters a short brake section which leads into the second drop. The maximum g-force of 4.5 is achieved at the bottom of the second drop. The second part of the ride is composed by banked turns and helices. The last helix leads into a tunnel and the station.[2]
