The wooden coaster actually has pretty intense air time if you sit at the front. You'll jump out against the lap bar (which doesn't touch you lap so it is an actual jump). It's at the hill top after the second double down.

[@cranberrybe]

the only coaster i've ever done and will ever do. my whole childhood.

[@MikaTarkela]

@@cranberrybe hahah same here except I tried it for the first time when I was 20 years old lol.

[@mukulakivi_creates]

It's a shock when it happens the first time ngl

[@NNokkonen]

Depends also who is on the brakes, sometimes it's a different ride every time, I love this rollercoaster

[@Ama-Elaini]

So, about the names: Taiga is of course the biome that Finland is found in, but when pronounced in Finnish it sounds like "taika", meaning magic. Ukko is an ancient god figure of the finns. Kirnu is a churn. Tulireki is a fire sleigh. Salama is a lightning. Hurjakuru is a wild gorge.

[@alreadyquitt]

taiga on kotka

[@uikonimi]

You mean taiga

[@tapio_m6861]

The breakmans initially were old WW2 pilots. Interesting part of Finnish history there as well.

[@eetusva7521]

18:30 "Perkele, Perkele, Perkele" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Mojova1]

Ukko is the God of thunder in Finnish mythology (like Thor) and it also means an "old geezer" in modern language.

[@henriikkak2091]

I love the smell of the old rollercoaster of Linnanmäki (Castle Hill). I'm weird that way. Wood, wood tar, iron, and engine grease...

[@Sauci55on]

I really want to get on Taiga, might become my Top 1… actually almost had the occasion to get in Linnanmaki since I did a school trip to Finland including 3 or 4 days to Helsinki, unfortunately for me it was the off-season . Still went to see Taiga and the other rides from outside the park, they’re impressive, especially Taiga! Being able to walk in a random street with this monster behind a fence on the side is something

[@CoasterDash]

A shame you didn’t get to ride it! I hope you return to the park 🥲

[@PomThaBunnyh]

i go there during some summers coz well, im from Finland, but i haven't tried taiga cause my neck whould get quackin snapped

[@Londel3real]

​@@PomThaBunnyhits not that bad (my neck was 90 degrees from where it should have been)

[@sket179]

Nice! You missed the one older coaster inside the round building at the center of the park. It's called Linnunrata ("the milky way") that has a VR set update. Earlier it had only a space theme made out of styrofoam. It's jerky, a bit camp, but it's my favourite after Taiga and wooden coaster there.

[@scephal6464]

Linnunrata has always had it (at least like 5 years ago) but 9 months ago when I was at Linnanmäki the VR set just wasn't there

[@Pilvikissa24]

the experience is the best without the VR set, I wonder if they are still mandatory. I just love the space props

[@ellem8990]

​@@Pilvikissa24It's not mandatory, but they've removed so much of the old props that it's not the same as before and kind of pointless. Unless they've put them back this year, but I doubt it since they've been gone for the past two years.

[@MarkusAT]

My question is that should Taiga have break runs to have better hourly capacity? I was really bummed at its first year when you had to wait around 1,5h to get to ride it.

Hi, finn here! Glad you made the trip to my home park! Also Ukko doesn't really mean anything in English, but it is the name of basically Zeus of Finnish mythology

[@CoasterDash]

Thank you! Awesome home park. We loved it 🇫🇮

[@Benderkekekekekeke]

Ukko means old man or husband for examble. Also if you add diminutive -nen, as ukkonen, it means thunder.

[@darksamrai250]

​@@BenderkekekekekekeWell yeah that too, but I've always thought it was named after Ukko ylijumala

[@TheSofkujepanen]

@@darksamrai250oh it definitely is named after him😅

[@adammills8087]

Taiga is another one of my top bucket list coasters. I have no doubts at all how much I would love it. It is definitely my type of coaster. It seems to be somewhat of a mixture of VelociCoaster and Maverick (2 of my favorite roller coasters) in many of its aspects. Maybe I'm wrong about that... but it does give me that impression. I'm quite sure that if I had the opportunity, I would be riding Taiga over and over again in a day at Linnanmaki.

[@ottomakinen13]

If you happen to ever visit Finland again, you absolutely MUST visit Särkänniemi! It's in my hometown of Tampere, as you probably know, and there are some actually fun rides, like Tornado and Hype! Loved this video btw! So cool you guys visited Linnanmäki!

[@MatleenaVenla]

As a Finn I just Love how U Said some of The names :D like "VuOrisTOraTa"

[@kiiturii]

I'm with you on ukko feeling actually unsafe lmao, normally when you go upside down you have good speed so it feels fun, but with ukko you go soooo slow lmao

[@TheRealBillix]

there was an injury the year it came if I remember correctly

[@emmmi111]

ive never screamed as loud as when i went on ukko, it really felt like i was falling on the way up and especially when it turned upside down slowly😭

[@deluxedoorman]

Waited to watch your blitz coaster rankings before finishing this series. Excited to see where Taiga ranks. Visually I think it’s amazing. The bright blue track coupled with that orange train is a great combo in my opinion

[@nathanpayne5358]

Tiaga looks incredible!! Very jealous that looks awesome!! This trip looked super cool thanks for the amazing content 🤙

[@huntzzio]

Taiga is one of the smoothest fast rollercoasters ive been on. Great experience!

Hi Marc! This was a really enjoyable trip to watch. Great stuff!

[@CoasterDash]

Thank you!

[@eskolebedev3512]

Did you ride Linnunrata and what flats you did?

[@CoasterDash]

We rode Linnunrata off-camera and thought it was pretty dull for an indoor roller coaster. We also rode the drop tower and the rapids while at the park!

[@nolanConnors-hb3ff]

This video is like taiga. Just extremely enjoyable and rewatchable

Hi Marc, it was nice to follow your Europe trip. Helsinki is also on my bucket list but I will probably only manage to go there next year. I hope you will do a new top 50? coaster list after you have experienced most of the European top coasters,

[@CoasterDash]

Thank you for watching! I’ll definitely be updating that list by the end of the year 🙌🏻

[@bohemianbluu]

Great review! I'm not a fan of rollercoasters (was traumatized as a kid in the 90's in the states in some Ohio park) but two years ago did Taiga. For reasons unknown to me I agreed to Taiga as the first ride and immediately Kirnu next. Rough, but I can see why people rate Taiga so high. I'm planning to have another go!

[@hanskuli8598]

Why didn't you guys go to kingi

[@-Tim-]

Really enjoyed this vlog, was cool to see your reactions to Taiga🦅 I love this ride so much. It has been my number one for two years (it just got dethroned by freaking Eejanaika) and I cannot say enough good things about it. I feel like Taiga is a great showcase of what modern Intamin can do and what they’re capable of nowadays. Like Taiga packs in the best characteristics and elements of the blitz coaster model into one ride. Like you said, it’s so enjoyable, pure fun while not being to overly insane and a coaster you could ride all day long. After each and every ride, it grew more on me and I still stand by the fact that this is the best and especially well rounded coaster in Europe. I could go on and on with this ride, it’s so beautiful to look at, the soundtrack by Imascore is amazing, the trains are some of the coolest I’ve ever seen and the location of the ride and how it goes down this massive hill and is eventually even the first thing you see when coming to Linnanmäki (for us at least) is also spectacular. When going to Europe, Taiga should definitely not be missed🔥

[@CoasterDash]

Thanks for watching Tim! I couldn’t have said it better myself. Taiga was absolutely amazing 🙌🏻

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

And so this trip has come to an end. Been a pleasure following along and even joining myself. And I can experience it again when Jesiah's vlogs drop 🤣

Thanks for the support Nik, and thanks for the incredible 2 days we shared. I too look forward to Jesiah’s vlogs when they drop in a decade 😂

[@thebestdecepticonSoundwave]

wow.. what a ride.

[@JolleTeePlays]

You know when it looks like Taiga is slow but its actually super fast when you go on it (i have tested and im finnish)

[@ziczixg797]

I went to Kirnu when it was new. A fun short ride otherwise, I don't know if it was my own fault or not but whilst I was holding for dear life with everything I got, my leg got a huge scrape onto it from some part that was in the leg area. It didn't need anything to be done to it afterwards, but it was uncomfortable enough not to get back and try that machine again 😅

[@henriikkak2091]

Me too. Right at the start, my legs scraped the pavement. I'm not tall so I think it was installed wrong. There should have been a pit there.

[@MikaTarkela]

I love the wooden rollercoaster. It's pretty much the only rollercoaster I have courage to enter lol. I've only been to Salama and some other indoor space rollercoaster.

[@Gnomereginam]

I gained a new appreciation for Tulireki through your suffering

[@ElmoKannonma]

im from finland and as soon as i read the title i cliked the video and liked and subbed

[@Pilvikissa24]

The video, although incredible quality, doesn't do the ride justice, this is the most scary ride I've ever been on, it's INCREDIBLY fast, I felt like I was gonna fall every second of the ride :D :D

[@akuankka321876]

Great vlog, you earned yourself a new subscriber! Just want to point out that you missed one major coaster there called Linnunrata 😅 It is inside that big round building (old water tower). It is basically Finland's space mountain and it even has VR if you want to ride it with VR.

[@CoasterDash]

Thank you so much! We had the chance to experience the indoor roller coaster and thought it was pretty dull. Honestly though, i’m not sure where my review went 😂

[@akuankka321876]

@@CoasterDash ah alright, no problem. Nice to hear that you liked it here. Hopefully Linnanmäki tears down Tulireki and builds something good to that area, since that area where Tulireki is located has some great potential for future installations. In 2024 Linnanmäki will open Intamin Gyro-swing next to Kingi, so I quess that we still need to wait for a while to get rid of Tulireki 😅

[@Hatsapurimies]

The wooden coaster every brakeperson is different. Some of them give littlebit more speed. And some of them has been many MANY years as woodencoaster brakeperson. Not sure who's been there longest now, but there's been dudes whos been brakeman as long as 20years or some.

[@GONERoner]

When I was like 6yrs old I went to Linnanmäki with my mom and my uncle. I wanted to ride the wooden rollercoaster (vuoristorata) with my uncle. BIG mistake! My uncle was very big and fat and I was so little. I don't know how they let us ride together because the safety bar wasn't even close to me. There was no problems until the big jump where I flew up from my seat and headbutted another passenger in front of me. Glad I didn't fall from the side! Last time I rode anything with my uncle xD

Oh yeah, Tulireki is... rough. I remember the first time I rode it, it was hard to get to lap bar on correct tightness, at first it was one step too loose but then I managed to push it tighter mid-ride... right before the break for the end of the ride so I got air punched out. I still sort of like the ride and go to ride Tulireki every time I go to Linnanmäki. I do prefer the old wooden coaster more. And taiga... I ride with my eyes closed.

I'm also a bit sad that KotKot (a kids' ride that I really liked) had to be demolished for Taiga, but to be honest, I prefer Taiga being built
