“AIVAN MAHVTA PAIKKA”

(Quite an AMAZING place!) Linnanmäki is located within a park situated on a series of hillsides set atop knolls of bedrock formations giving rise to spectacular views and landscapes from every angle of the park’s scenic attractions. Reachable by tram from anywhere and so very convenient for many visitors to and from the city center and other outlying parts of the region. Now on this evening, this was a special Halloween Horror Festival which had many visitors flocking in for these weekend fright nights!

Unfortunately, being terribly undressed, and completely out of place with the colder conditions at this time of the year, it would have been nicer if what was worn could have been a lot more sensible and less dressy. Many people were donned in very warm fashion-forward winter clothing. Including hats, gloves, and scarves, plus walking shoes too. Underestimated by the temperature going onto some of the greater attractions less the most steepest of roller coasters proved to be more challenging than others normally speaking for riding them till the later night hours rolled by. What is so fantastic about the experience was by the number of roller coasters here that were the same level of its equivalent at Universal Studios in Osaka, just last year (September 2023). The comparatively closeness in degrees for thrilling (10+) excitement and the range of really super-heightened super-accelerated roller coasters are indeed worth seeing for anyone who’s ever experienced riding one, two, or more times in a lifetime than remembered!

In any event the crowds were a greater motley mix of friends, many with families, relatives and children, teenagers, young couples, lovers or friends who were all there for a great opportunity for fun and relaxed enjoyment together. A truly unique combination between both ultimate urban escapes and crossover of high energy levels that stretches across age ranges of all levels. The restaurant choices [like in many areas of Helsinki], are pretty incredible and outstandingly varied, moderately priced and surprisingly very delicious! Prices for having a small meal or dinner is again [reasonable and not as expensive] as it would be, say, in the States or perhaps in places in Asia.

Nevertheless it is very relaxing. And a very popular place to come to. To enjoy the park’s atmosphere especially with families, and kids alike. Teenagers too. Highly recommended whenever the park is open during the year and for its special events and activities, to the occasions year-round! Folks from Sweden should find themselves here too for its astonishing mix of activities and the world famous amusements that make it quite irresistible to meet other people and mix and mingle. A must see for sure whenever in Helsinki, highly, more than once!!

(I would consider a couple of visits longer just to go here, again regardless of the circumstances, it’s that spectacular!)

When visiting Helsinki, one of the primary purposes of the trip was to experience Linnanmäki. I'm admittedly a huge theme park fan, so it's been on my radar since 2019, with the opening of a big roller coaster that put it on the map. It's one of the easiest theme parks I've ever been to. It's within walking distance of the main city center, and there are lots of public transport options to the gates too.

The park allows free entry, and then you can buy single tickets or wristbands for rides and attractions. If you're planning on riding more than a few rides, then it's definitely worth buying a wristband. The wristbands are the same price online as they are in the park, so there isn't any need to pre-book them.

The park is much bigger than I first anticipated, and is packed full of attractions. The park itself is very well-maintained and clean, with a really great atmosphere. We spent a whole afternoon and evening enjoying the wide variety of rides and attractions. Vuoristorata, their classic wooden roller coaster, Swingi, their new for 2024 swinging ride, and Kingi, a 250ft drop tower, were all fantastic rides that shouldn't be missed if you're seeking thrills.

The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Taiga, an Intamin-launched roller coaster that delivers an exhilarating experience from start to finish. The launch is powerful and the track layout is non-stop, and really does leave you breathless as you hurtle around the track. It's certainly in my top 10 favorite roller coasters I've ridden!

Overall, Linnanmäki is a fantastic amusement park that offers a great day out. Its central location, well-maintained facilities, and eclectic rides make it a top visit in my opinion if you're heading to Helsinki.

There are free rides for children which doesn't require any expense, that is super nice. Besides, other rides are with a lot fun too. If you want to have a panoramic view of Helsinki, get on the tall rotating wheel thing(can't remember what the name was).
Anyhow, great fun for everyone.

Extremely fun to spend a noon or day there. Pretty near to Helsinki. Free entrance (You only pay if you want to use the attractions) . Loved it.
