ToTa8000 Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone! I am here once again bringing you guys some more pictures from Finnish theme parks, this time from Linnanmäki! Me and couple of my friends decided to celebrate the incoming summer vacation by spending the last schooldays afternoon in Linnanmäki. Since we arrived there afternoon, the lines really weren't that long and we managed to get a couple of rides in Salama, Kirnu, Vuoristorata and Linnunrata. Speaking of coasters... Salama: Really fun spinning coaster but not really long and thrilling with the exception being the second drop. Tulireki: Still the worst coaster in the park. It has a good concept with the tilting car, but it really doesn't do anything with it. Not to mention it is very short and uncomfortable to ride. We skipped Vonkaputous, so yeah... Kirnu: Brilliant. Since it it the prototype version of the ZacSpin, it is not quite as intense like its cousin Insane in Gröna Lund, but it is still very fun ride with many OMFG moments. Vuoristorata Nostalgia boner. One of my all-time favorite coasters with Särkänniemi's Tornado. One of the longest coasters you will find in Finland and also one of the only coasters in Finland that has any sort of airtime in it! Ukko: The most intense coaster in Finland bar none. Even though X-car really isn't all that comfortable, speed, height and g-forces certainly make up for it. Linnunrata: Last but not the least, Linnunrata is an alright family coaster. Not much to say about it really. But enough of my rambling, LET'S. GET. MOVING! ...to the pictures! What a way to start my report by showing a pointless kiddie ride! Hurjakuru and Pikajuna. How exciting. Themeing for Salama. Now I know why everybody in this forum thinks of food everytime somone mentions this coaster, even though Salama means "Lightning"... Ball. That sprays water and shoots fire. NERDSHOT Skulls? In my Hurjakuru? This ride has some BALLS (no pun intended)! See? I guess this is where all staff sleeps after work. Ferris wheel. You can get some darn good pictures from it as you will see later in this TR. BURN, BURN, BURN TO THE GROUND! This park also had some very aggressive birds. I guess this is where Rovio got their idea for Angry Birds! More pictures coming after brake! Edited June 27, 2012 by ToTa8000
ToTa8000 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 Moar pictures! Kirnu tries to hide itself behinde the ticket sales and fails at it. Over there is the reason why we didn't ride Kieppi or Kieputin. Once that started to rain down on us, Kieppi looked more like a washing machine than Huss Booster of Death! Kehrä THROUGH THE TREES! It wasn't until this point I realised how funky that entrance looks from up here. When my friends rode the ROCKET, I decided to take some pictures while they were having fun being blasted 60 m up in the air. Anyway here is Kirnu yet again! "That's ROCKET!" "No Luigi, that's Ukko. You didn't make it." Am I trying to emphasize something here or what? What does "ruutivarasto" hold, gunpowder or rum? You decide! Ukko, Vuoristorata and ROCKET in the same picture. I have the weirdest boner right now. "LUDICOUS SPEED, GO! ...STOP THIS THING!" "WE CAN'T STOP! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS! WE HAVE TO SLOW DOWN FIRST!" "I ORDER YOU TO STOOOOOOOP!" And with that painful Spaceballs reference I conclude this TR. Hope you guys enjoyed it! If you have anything to say about the park or this TR, please tell your opinion!
gisco Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Looks like a fun place, just waiting for TPR to make a return trip to that area.
