Top 10 Rides at Sarkanniemi

[@-Tim-]

I really liked Särkänniemi. Visited July 2021 and honestly this park has one of the coolest locations for a themepark I’ve ever seen. It is a beautiful setting and the rides are also not too bad. Although I’m not a fan of the Sky Rocket II model in general, there were still some quite enjoyable coasters. Tornado actually surprised me, a fun little suspended coaster with 2 awesome heartline rolls. It was also much smoother than I thought, which is always a nice bonus. The logflume there is very unique and quirky and was also something I did not expect to like as much as I did. Also High Voltage was great. The huge observation tower was also really nice and gave some great views of Tampere. All in all, Särkänniemi is a great park to spend some few hours at while visiting Tampere and is a park that should be definitely considered visiting, when planning on visiting Power Park

[@CanobieCoaster]

The atmosphere is definitely the park's strongest aspect.

Seeing Take Off running so slow actually hurts me. I grew up on german fairs and the Take Off is still one of the more intense and one of the best rides. The german showman Langenscheidt cranks it to the max and the g-forces are just nuts. The Sky Rocket looks really good, has the same restrains as the same model in holiday park, germany. Love them. Tornado looks really good. Idk why, but i rove heart line rolls and inline twists a lot. The track design looks awesome too. There's something about the older track designs I can't describe.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'd love to try a crazier one.

[@maverickheartlineroll]

Great list! I love parks with a great setting

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks!

[@mateoalvira7826]

What would you think about the jet star coasters like the one that used to be at Särkänniemi, the one at Indiana Beach, and the indoor one that used to be at Great Escape?

[@CanobieCoaster]

The Great Escape one was shakier than the others.

[@mateoalvira3514]

The over the shoulder restraints were liked by many enthusiasts and considered good for the forces and the inversions, if the ride is smooth. Do you know the differences between a smooth ride and a rough ride?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Smooth is comfortable. Rough is not.

[@chairmankurt6562]

thanks a lot for making this vid im going to särkänniemi in 3 weeks!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Enjoy!

[@mateoalvira3514]

Tornado at Särkänniemi and the 1990s and 2000s B&M inverts use over the shoulder restraints. Those over the shoulder restraints were created by the manufacturers to keep riders restrained, and to experience the forces, the speeds, and the inversions. The over the shoulder restraints were liked by many enthusiasts and considered good for the forces and the inversions, if the ride... A) is smooth B) is rough

[@CanobieCoaster]

A

[@sutterismine]

What's with all the Zamperla rides?

[@CanobieCoaster]

They must like them.

[@ianmortimer5325]

Have you ridden a Zamperla Energy Storm flat ride before?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I have ridden a Soriani and Moser version.

[@mateoalvira7826]

Take Off looks fast, and did you like it?

[@CanobieCoaster]

It was slower than I would have liked.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

See Take Off at Sarkanniemi, but would you like to ride it again? What do you think? I say that because it looks like a rare spinning thrilling flat ride with a raising platform.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's not bad, just disappointing and tame.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Try riding again Take Off at Sarkanniemi. I think it looks like a rare spinning flat ride that rotates and elevates. The platform elevation looks thrilling.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's rare, but it wasn't run fast enough.

[@oldchannel611]

I don't quite understand the difference between an inline twist and a heartline roll anymore. I always thought that inline twists were just. straight track rotated 350 degrees. but the inline twists on Tornado invert around the rider so what makes them not heartlined?

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's hard for me to tell as well.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Canobie Coaster said: Before the countdown, I want to note two unique attractions that will not make the list. First, there's Take Off. I was telling you, but Take Off looks like a spinning thrilling flat ride. The gondolas spin and the platform raises.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It isn't fast enough for major thrills.

[@mateoalvira7826]

Canobie Coaster, would say: Up next would have been Jet Star. This Schwarzkopf steel coaster was removed after the 2012 season. While I didn't ride this installation, I have ridden some clones stateside like Tig'rr at Indiana Beach. But why did you not speak about the one that used to be at Great Escape, if that one was also the same model?

[@CanobieCoaster]

The Great Escape one ran far worse.

[@AtteRocket]

It's been a few years since I've been to Särkänniemi so I haven't had a chance to try Hype or Boom, but from what I've experienced I think that X might just be the best flat ride in Finland, it is such a forceful and fun ride! Tornado is always a fun ride in the front row, and Tukkijoki is a nice log flume as well.

[@CanobieCoaster]

X really is great.

[@make04]

Some translations 10) Tyrsky = Surge 8) Tukkijoki = Log River 6) Koskiseikkailu = Rapids Ride (Official) or Rapids Adventure

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks!

[@maxhagenauer24]

Intamin Invert, Zamperla Motocoaster and a Sky Rocket 2, it's enough to make me happy. I wouldn't get board here, I just wonder how those Zamperla Moto Coasters feel compelled to Vekoma motorbike ones.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The Zamperla ones tend to be way more compact.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

Why do you like more the Premier Rides Sky Rocket II coasters without the comfort collars? Because what do you think about the comfort collars?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I don't hate the comfort collars, but the ride is better without them.

[@andrewcloud1547]

Visited here in Summer 2022; absolutely beautiful park, and it was where I finally got over my fear of rollercoasters!

[@CanobieCoaster]

So cool!

[@anttinousiainen9912]

As a finnish person you said koskiseikkailu way better than other people i have seen

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thank you! That one was scary just to look at.

[@andybassargin5983]

I used to start with Tornado, then on to Takeoff, X and HYPE. I loved the Halfpipe. So sorry to read it's gone😒

[@CanobieCoaster]

Hopefully they can add another new coaster soon.

[@mateoalvira7826]

Imagine going again to Särkänniemi and ride: Tornado MotoGee Trombi Take Off What do you think?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'd ride any of those, but I'd go on Torando the most.

[@bluetomato2184]

Scandinavian parks are so underrated!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I really like them.

[@rollercoasterheaven2170]

Boom looks so bad

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

What's your standout part to ride the Zamperla volares? The first drop The turns The barrel rolls

[@CanobieCoaster]

Barrel rolls

[@vkgaming2407]

I would love to go here. Unfortunately, my home park is six flags America so that’s not good

[@CanobieCoaster]

Good rides at that park at least and it was on the upswing in 2021 compared to past years.

[@vkgaming2407]

Very true, but it still doesn’t beat hersheypark, which is the only other park we got to

[@masterwatermelonthemeparks]

Fake CP 😂

[@CanobieCoaster]

Not quite.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

What do you prefer at Särkänniemi, the drop tower, Take Off or the observation tower?

[@CanobieCoaster]

This video answers that.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

And would you like to go again to Tornado at Särkänniemi? What do you think about it?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes I like it.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

And are there any coasters in Finland with shin guards?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes there are.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

If you would have ridden Jet Star at Särkänniemi, you've ridden Jet Star clones like Tig'rr at Indiana Beach, and why did you speak about the clone at Indiana Beach but not about, for example, another clone, such as the defunct Nightmare at Great Escape?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nightmare was indoors like the other two and ran rougher.
