The charity aspect makes me want to go here so badly to support them

It’s always heartwarming when an amusement park operates for good purposes. You can have so much fun while contributing to a good deed.

Wow that charity aspect of the park makes this already one of my favorite parks even though I haven't been there. I never knew about it, but it's awesome that this park is donating to charity

Fun fact: certain rides used to have English names, but they were all renamed in 2004. Here are a few examples:

Space Express -> Linnunrata
Polyp -> Mustekala
Space Shot -> Raketti
City Express -> Pikajuna
Viking -> Viikinkilaiva
Dragon -> Lohikäärme

Rest in pieces to the rare Huss booster they removed

The old Vuoristorata (RollerCoaster) can be more intense than described here. I haven't been riding it for years but it used to be "main attraction" (at least in my opinion). Maybe the breakmen are more conservative nowadays but as a kid I remember riding it over and over. One time I rode at the back right in front of the break man and I was launched to a standing up position as I was putting my arms up! Yikes! But I think there can be quite a difference between breakmen, at least it used to have.

Linnunrata eXtra now has VR and you can choose between three different movies. Not the best VR coaster I’ve been in, but it was certainly enjoyable this way.
Taiga is one of the best coasters I know, I rode it five times. Such a thrilling ride!
The wooden coaster is not very thrilling, but I liked it because of the history, the breakman and the smell of the wood and tar. It felt like going back in time for a while.
The spinning coaster didn’t spin a lot the first time I rode it, but the second time it did, and that made it so much more fun!

I love Linnanmäki! It was my home park when I was a child, and I still try to visit the park at least once every year. I haven't been able to visit the park yet this year, but I hope I can make it to the Light Carnival this October. Great review!

This park looks awesome especially because of the charity

I'm glad to see attention brought to my home amusement park. These were my first kiddie and thrill rides ever so this place has special place in my heart. A great review with good points all around. Also I loved hearing your mispronounciations of finnish words but i'm glad you tried

I saw this park last week, but wasn’t able to go unfortunately because we were on a cruise and I wanted to see Helsinki instead

Your description of the rides you got on Vuoristorata just makes me sad. I have joked with friends before that the lift hill is the fastest portion of the coaster, but rides that bad are rare. In the back you usually get floater on all the drops, and pops of ejector on the small hills next to the station. Front gets very little on the big drops, but also has the best airtime moment on the bunny hill next to the station. On the best rides you can get a full second or two of true airtime - no restraints while you butt leaves the seat.
The very best rides can rival Taiga,  but the breakman really has to let it loose. I would personally consider those a once in a lifetime experience, as I have gotten one of those in my ~30 visits to the park.
I have personally noted that you get better rides when the park is less busy, which might have to do with the amount of trains they are using. With three trains they take it slowly to make sure that they don't reach the next block before the train ahead has left. With two trains they can go as fast as they want with no worries. This is just my theory though, so take it with a grain of salt.

Great review! I learned so much!

cool

It sounds like the Finnish Grona Lund or Tivoli Gardens, but I had no idea about that charitable aspect.

Nice old park with some nice old coasters.  There Intamin Blitz sure does stand out Vuoristorata looks really really solid as well for its age.

This reminds me of Liseberg, Tivoli Gardens and Elitch Gardens in the sense that they're all located in a big downtown city.  It's also the exact opposite of SeaWorld San Antonio.  While that park has a lot of space but not a lot of rides, this one has a lot of rides but not a lot of space.

Excellent 😊😊😊❤️❤️

Awesome review!

Nice vid.
