Linnanmäki Review | Finland's Largest Amusement Park

Located right in the heart of Helsinki is the countries signature theme park, Linnanmäki! The park is home to 8 roller coasters, including the world class Intamin multi-launch, Taiga. The park is free to enter, and you pay per ride (or get a wristband). Interestingly enough, all profits from Linnanmäki are donated to charity! It's an awesome time that is absolutely worth a visit!

The park's atmosphere during the fall looks incredible!

[@CoasterStudios]

it was very lively!

[@ToaOfFusion]

I know. All the shots around the park just look so beautiful.

[@trainsandstuff1021]

You know, ever since Linnanmäki acquired Taiga I've seen a lot more international coverage about Linnanmäki. Which is very well deserved. Its such an unique park with relatively many one off/prototype/rare coaster models packed in a very tight space and still manages to feel quite big with all its different districts for attractions. Ever since i was a young kid i wished the park had a truly "world class" coaster as they say, to complete the park. And in 2019 they finally got one and probably one of the best ones in the world nonetheless! Which pretty much put Linnanmäki on the map when people came for Taiga but found out that its quite a charming park on its own.

[@AtteRocket]

Don't worry about your Finnish pronunciation, the way you pronounced Tulireki and Pikajuna was pretty good! Linnanmäki is my home park, and I love the place very much! I would love to one day visit other theme parks in the Nordics to see how Linnanmäki compares to those (especially Liseberg), but I am surprised to hear that you rank this park pretty high when compared with Swedish and Norwegian theme parks! Also, I am fairly certain that the only reason the park holds on to Taikasirkus (the clown themed dark ride) is because during their Halloween-fest in September, the ride is turned into a proper horror attraction with live-performers in clown costumes scaring the riders.

[@TheSwant98]

7:24 - I got stuck on that thing for 10 minutes. I haven't slept since.

[@areloTET]

Fun fact: there is one amusement park which is 20 times bigger than Linnanmäki (by area). It's called PowerPark and it's located in Kauhava, Southern Ostrobothnia (Etelä-Pohjanmaa)

[@-AxisA-]

Mietin ihan samaa, että PowerPark on varmasti monta kertaa isompi, ku Lintsi, mut en olis arvannut, että 20 kertaa isompi! Coaster Studios tietty tarkoitti tolla titlellä, että Lintsi on Suomen "isoin huvipuisto" kävijämäärältään.

[@davidzhukov3734]

Yes, but linnanmäki is much better then power park

[@Sipu97]

Powerpark is like the worst one. Särkänniemi is the place to be.

[@Gnomereginam]

Huvipuistojen koko mitataan monesti laitteiden määrän perusteella. Toki PowerPark on alueena isompi, sehän on keskellä peltoa ja metsää. :D Mutta se ei oo mikään hulppea saavutus.

[@nepular0876]

I went here a couple weeks back and wow, taiga is incredible!

[@hylje]

Linnanmäki also has a great season pass, for the price of about six wristbands (as of 2023). Including the special end of season events for Halloween and light festivals, too.

[@-AxisA-]

Siis mitä? Lintsilläkin on nykyään kausilippu?

[@hylje]

@@-AxisA- on ollut vuosia jos ei vuosikymmeniä.

[@Celatra]

fun fact- linnanmäki and powerpark frequently trade blows on which is the largest amusement park in finland. currently linnanmäki is leading by like 1 ride i think

[@CoasterStudios]

thats hilarious haha

[@Celatra]

@@CoasterStudios it is. Powerpark will take over though because they have so much land to expand on while linnanmäki has to tear down rides to build new ones That being said Ukko and Taiga are probably the best rides in our country

[@Duckkis]

It's been way too long since I've visited Linnanmäki.. I do miss the place and often fondly think back on all the memories. Thank you for the enjoyable video! You're welcome to return to Finland any time.

[@Alvarnea]

I like what they did with the VR glasses in Linnunrata - I remember being a kid and seeing the original paint stuff, but the VR headset rides are great! Especially the mountain jumping one XD A creative way to freshen up the experience and to take advantage of the fact it's an inside coaster.

[@ProduccionesGarfol]

I was there in 2019, and it is lovely to have it in the city of Helsinki

[@mstuomel]

Aww, thanks for such a sweet review of Linnanmäki, we're very proud of this fantastic and classic amusement park! One of my great coming-of-age moments was when I was old enough to ride the Enterprise in 1987 or so.

[@bundaichicken]

Recently been to Linnanmäki this summer, absolutely brilliant park! Going to liseberg this October and did initially think that would be the better park, but we will see!

[@Double_Up_Studios]

Linnanmäki has only 1 premium ride. Liseberg has several, plus superb flatride collection...

[@AdamHickman78]

Liseberg is the better park. However we all have different preferences & requirements.

[@DiaryofaRollerCoasterGirl]

The "city" style parks in europe are absolutely some of the best amusement parks in the world!

[@drdewott9154]

Yup. Whats a little annoying though is not anything about the individual parks, but that we used to have even more but not anymore! Like in Denmark where I'm from we currently have 3 city amusement parks, Tivoli Gardens and Bakken in Copenhagen, and Tivoli Friheden in Aarhus. But we used to have even more. Until 2010 the city of Aalborg had one called "Tivoli Karolinelund". It wasnt as high quality but it was nice and quaint, it had a Wacky worm, a large pinfari looper (same layout as the Indiana Jones coaster at Disneyland Paris) and a Vekoma Boomerang which dominated its skyline. In 2007 the park was sold to the city's municipal government who operated it alongside the city zoo. The park was actually profitable, but the city deemed it wasn't profitable enough in their eyes and closed it at the end of 2010. All the parks that were in good enough shape to be sold were all sold to Iraq where they now exist. Additionally the city of Odense used to have one called "Fyns Tivoli" which back in the day was home to one of the last Flying turns coasters in the whole world. They were owned by the same people who owned the zoo and was located right next to it, but with low visitor numbers the park closed in 1990, and its land used for an expansion of the zoo. At least the remaining parks are getting their bit of love. Tivoli Friheden is getting a Eurofighter next year called "Vindfald" to replace a scandal filled SLC knockoff the park had for many years.

[@Alderzone]

As a kid I used to love the indoor rollercoaster because it often had shorter lines than the other ones.

[@Maria-Sol]

It (along with the late Vonkaputous) was a great way to cool off on a hot summer day too! Well, you know, hot by Finnish standards 😂

[@ScottyMania313]

I love how the European theme parks have really cool lights of diffrent sizes together. It creates a fun vibe. I think that clown dark ride looks sick, sick in a good way cause I'm down 2 clown.....and up to f***. Sweet review mang

[@finnishculturalchannel]

You pretty much covered it. Maybe cotton candy should have been mentioned. Things that make you feel sick already before the rides. Game halls, mirror house and funny mirrors are classics, of course, and then there's the Peacock Theater: "Helsingin Kaupunginteatteri Peacock pimeän aikaan". Historically the second most popular attraction was the fun house Vekkula, which was build in 1961 and then taken down in 2017: "MoonTVfi Viimeinen kierros Vekkulassa" and "Jari Lehtonen GoPro: Linnanmäki Vekkula".

[@diamondback-my3gm]

This is an awesome park I came from Colombia Love from Colombia 🇨🇴

[@CoasterCollectorUK]

Id be interested if you could review some of thorpe parks coasters with you going there recently great video

[@Codwiser]

@Coaster Studios, were did you get that vekoma hat from?

[@CoasterStudios]

Vekoma

[@ponkey8569]

How long are the queues normally on a Saturday?

[@lemon_meme22]

Taikasirkus isn’t actually a dark ride, it’s a family ride 😭 I remember going there as a small kid and it was so weird hahah... When I grew up i realised how creepy it actually is (and probably one of the reasons why I’m scared of clowns nowadays 😂)... But this was a great video, I have visited Linnanmäki over 15 times, and loved hearing your opinions on the park!

[@OniAsterix]

Taiga looks great and nice vid

[@ThemeParksAndAttractions]

Great review ❤

[@Ldog0914]

Love the vids. Iron Gwazi is my #1 and probably will be for a while. This park is pretty cool looking though ❤❤

[@aapee565]

While some people expect you to magically know how to pronounce their language, Finland isn't like that. Only ourselves and some estonians can do it. We just point out your mistakes because it is fun to be an ass, you don't need to be so apologetic. One word that you might be able to learn is Pikajuna. Pika is like it is in Pikachu - just see the anime and imitate the pikapika. Juna is like the japanese name Yuna. In general finnish J is like Y in some other languages. Think Yokohama. Now that I think of it Finnish and Japanese have surprisingly similar pronounciations, despite being on opposite sides of the globe.

[@teimo4117]

4:59 I think one reason why it's not so popular is because it has gotten stuck for 3 summers in a row 😂

[@BrennanWhoLikesRollercoa-ki1uf]

When is the next episode of the Coastin’ Through Europe vlogs coming out?

[@CoasterStudios]

in approximately 86 minutes 😃

[@Interfacement]

10:10 so you prefer this over Liseberg? Interesting!

[@CoasterStudios]

Liseberg has a better atmosphere but Linnamäki has better rides- so its a give and take. I'd recommend both to anyone!

[@Double_Up_Studios]

@@CoasterStudios Linnanmäki has better rides? I dont get it. Taiga may be the best coaster out of both, but the rest? Helix, Valkyria, Lisebergbanan, Atmosphere, Uppswinget, Loke, Hotell Gasten....

[@kevinbhieey9188]

While the Finnish person already said your pronunciations were pretty good, I go by a couple rules for European languages that aren't English and I don't feel like I'm insulting people too badly: The vowels (A-E-I-O-U) in most languages are pronounced ah-ay-ee-oh-oo. When a diacritic is added - basically anything other than an accent - then the vowel probably sounds different. Vowels are also rarely silent, no matter how many are in a row. There are two major consonants that usually sound different. Js are usually pronounced as a Y sound (AtteRocket was being nice as this does happen in Finnish). And Ws are usually V sounds. A lot of the others just tend to be pronounced harder than they are in English: Vs are often more like Fs. Ds are often more like Ts. And in some countries - like Czechia and Poland - just give up. They get it lol

[@shroomyesc]

I just moved across the street from this place! I don't have the money to go ride rides often, but I went just the other night an hour before closing to walk around and feel up the atmosphere.

[@paulbeale5812]

Putting a roller coaster inside the water tower is pure genious.

[@eddielankila6949]

It could be longer tho

[@paulbeale5812]

@@eddielankila6949 I suspect that they were constrained by the size of the water tower.

[@eddielankila6949]

@@paulbeale5812 yeah but look at something like darkcoaster, that's a very small area but the ride is good size

[@shroomyesc]

@@paulbeale5812 That's very right, usually they have walk through attractions in the water tower in the halloween and light events in the autumn and having been inside there I can say it's full of support columns and such, plus storage space for ride parts etc. so it's impressive they've been able to weave as much coaster track around the columns as they have.

taiga looks so fun. if only it was in America. also, can you do another top 25 but with Sarah
