Linnanmäki Vlog September 2019

- Join me as I spend the day at Linnanmäki in Helsinki, Finland! This awesome amusement park opened back in 1950 and was set up to raise funds for Finnish child welfare work. This fantastic cause is still the main focus of the park to this day!
This vlog is packed with on ride POV's from all of the major rides at the park including the 8 different roller coasters on offer. New for 2019 is Taiga, a spectacular Intamin Blitz Coaster that features two launches, 4 inversions and some very unique elements. In this vlog I share my full review from this very impressive ride. I also ride a classic scenic railway that dates back to 1951 and one of the creepiest dark rides I've ever experienced!
This was also the first day of the parks horror event and in this vlog I share POV's from all 3 of the different scare attractions on offer along with a look at the street theatre and theming around the park.

Linnunrata used to be my favorite coaster, since they added the VR almost all of the old theming has been removed. The rooms were filled with luminescent starscapes that looked amazing in the darkness, but now its almost all black since its no longer maintained. Almost none of it remains.
Yeah, that sucks! I liked the cool visuals without VR.
MentalEdge its actually not removed. I was there like a month ago and the vr was removed because of corona and lets be honest it wasn’t that nice. I think that the vr made it better but it isn’t that amazing either so... yeah..
@@kamo-chan4916 You were always able to ride it without VR. What is not removed? Did you ride it in it's prime? The theming is almost entirely gone on the ride itself in comparison.
There's definitely much less theming in there after the VR was added. I've easily rode it over a hundred times over the years before the VR was added, so its a downgrade nowadays as the VR isn't even used. To me the VR ruined the coaster, used to be a nice go-to with short lines, but as the ride crew need to make sure everyone is good with their sets, it takes forever to dispatch a train. I remember always losing my shit with the awesome launch countdown too when I was younger, which has also been removed.
now that we have a pandemic the vr glasses are gone and all the stars, planets, etc are back! i enjoyed it a lot more like that too :)
With the rise in the number of launch coasters, I hope they never do away with chain lifts. There’s something so satisfying about the noise of a a chain lift
Definitely love a good chain lift!
8:50 the coaster in the background looks like its floating! Great vlog
It does doesn't it!
Its Salama
Ikr
ItsMeVortex 😂😂
He is taking Taiga so chill.
When I was there people were screaming their lungs out
I think i was there with you...🙃
48:00 all the times in Infants school where the teachers were telling me off for spelling circus as "sirkus", I knew I was right. I was just spelling it in Finnish 🙄😒😂
Love this!
Did I just watch a 1.5 hour video about my local themepark?
Onni-H yes yes you did
No
Mood
Same
yes, yes you did.
That jump scare in the ghost nearly made me fall off my chair! Amazing vlog!
It was a scary moment!
29:25 Yup it sounds weird, but evertone who has been on Vuoristorata knows the smell, i personally love the smell especially the tunnel.
Btw great video, keep uo the good work !!
Its the tar.
Im originally from Finland but live in England, im so glad that you went to Linnanmäki its such an amzing park and has such a great cause.
I know I’m late to this party but dude, you make me want to expand my theme park horizons. European theme parks have a charm that a lot of US parks lack. In my opinion, the only one on the same level (that I’ve actually been to) is Knotts
Disney and Universal are both US parks. They have arguably the best theming known to man.
@@MarcusDET if you want to live in that sad sorry little bubble, thats your choice.
That screen scare on the ghost train jump scared me whilst watching. I had to rewind it to see what actually happened!
It was a scary moment!
Nothing better than the smell of a wooden coaster ! Very enjoyable vlog as always thank you Shawn !
27:07 Thoes are all the Brakemen for the 2019 season and it shows when they started working for the park
I agree, the right music adds so much to the"feel" of a park. A few weeks agi was our first visit to Walibi Holland and we all loved the Electro Music all over the park. It just fits the park, even if you are not a big fan of that type of music.
Interesting to see thoughts of a first timer on the park I've been doing for decades, glad you enjoyed it!
That circus ride was reaaaally weird. 😂 never seen anything close to that! Taiga looks awesome, that first element looks really interesting!
Love your video Shawn! I'm from Finland and i do really love our parks. I think it's fantastic that you open the doors for other people outside Finland and show them one of our parks! I really do think that Linnanmäki has potential to be one of the most beautiful parks in Europe! Kiitos for a fantastic vlog💪🏼!
Honestly, Linnanmäkiis one of the most charming parks I have seen anywhere. I live in the United States and nearly all of our parks have a very corporate feeling to them. At Linnanmäki however, there is so much care and attention given throughout down to even the smallest of details. This park also does an amazing job of utilizing every available space to its maximum potential. There are multiple layers of attractions and there real sense of exploration going on . Shawn's vlog does a great job of revealing just how much there is to do and see. As the day progresses he discovers more and more rides and attractions he didn't notice previously. That kind of thing doesn't really happen at parks in the United States. Parks here may place 4 or 5 rides along broad straightforward paths in a 25 acre area whereas at Linnanmäki there are 12 attractions cleverly placed with more intimate paths interacting and weaving throughout. There are so many unique spaces and areas that you cannot find at other parks.
Thank you for your kind words and support!
No bigger than average water park and still has a lot to do. Not a bad park at all just based on its size and how cool it looks. Thanks for the day with you there.
'Theme park worldwide if you want to have a look' absolutely class that Shaun😅😅😅👍
Lucky to be greeted in such a fantastic way and getting those permissions to film, another great vlog!
Thank you!
I love it when you are literally just talking while falling from a drop tower😂
What a great vlog, I visited this park about 17 years ago when I studied in Finland and this brought back so many happy memories for me so thank you
the screaming children really make this park perfect
i'm going to Linnanmäki this year, i love that place!! It's like a tradition to go there with my family every summer. It feels magical every time, my favourite part about it (aside from the rides of course) is the music that plays throughout the park!!
Have a great time!
Im probably gonna go too! I love the park
There’s a point when taiga goes over the mercy shop and the cups literally vibrate
Hurra!! Finally the park vlog is up :)
Taiga looked amazing. So much longer and more to it than what it looks like. Love the ground hugs and interaction with other ride(s).
Great park, but yeah, it do need audio. Some ambient just for the atmosphere would do nicely.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts!
this park gives me phantasialand mixed with liseberg vibes
Definitely Liseberg vibes for me!
i love your trips that you take your viewers on !! no one does it better!! very classy channel ! i enjoy ADVENTURE SHAWN AS WELL!! take care!!
Thank you!
I get really good vibes from this vlog!! You seem really interested and excited about everything and you seem like a really sweet person in general. Thank you for making this video!
And yeah, Linnunrata is looking pretty sad, there used to be a lot of stars, planets, meteors and everything was glowing in the dark...
Thanks for this in quarantine only thing i have thinked about was taiga i want to go so bad
Wonderful vlog as always Shawn. I love that the channel’s growth has finally given you the reach and recognition to gain more and more special permissions to film on ride recently. Hopefully someday you’ll come back to the US and be able to bypass those restrictions 😉
Thank you for your support!
That’s so cool the park raises money for charity
Brilliant ☺
It's a fantastic cause
I know i am a Little bit late but yea, all the profits that Linnanmäki makes goes to Children’s Charity. ☺️
vanhasoap dont worry i got it
All they need now is a dive coaster of the mountain that it is on!
agreed, just like liseberg did

Wow! What a great vlog! I really enjoyed watching it! 👌One and a half hour of amazing content! No boring moments at all. I really need to visit the park during the iik!week ✌️ One of the best vlogs I've seen this year! Great work! 👍👍
Thank you, I had a fantastic day
ive lived in finland for all my life and ive also went to linnanmäki for almost all my life, ive seen the evolvement of the park and also my sister has worked there! its so nice to see the park in someone elses pov✨
Thank you!
Yet again another park I really want to visit Finland looks lovely ☺
I loved it!
Why you dont go to Ukko and Kieputin if I remember right because I watch this video 4 weeks ago.
Ayyy, finally my main park :D
Hi shawn what a lovely park great rides . That clown ride was freaky made me jump really creepy. Great vlog one of the best. Thanks for sharing with us. The wooden rollercoaster opened on my birthday 13th July but 19 years earlier than when I was born . Love to as always xxx
I screamed at that jump scare on the ghost train...FAB PARK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video Shawn, Well done!
I love the Maurer restraints!
Just got finished watching this vlog it was a great long vid and wow what a pro that looks like
Taiga looks incredible. Overall though Linnanmäki looks incredible. This park is dripping with charm...lots of little details stand out to me, simple pointless ones like the thick vines entirely covering one of the support structures on the main walkway. The variation and uniqueness of the fences for the que lines, the eagle footprints in the concrete, all these little inexpensive things really make this park remarkable. The fact that the park's profits go towards a charitable cause speaks volumes. can anyone think of any other theme parks in the world that do this?
Just in general there is alot going on. I am also quite impressed with just how many rides they were able to fit in that space and how well those rides are maintained. There is so much thought and care throughout. and wow, is park packed full of actors/actresses for the halloween season. Even the small scare attractions have actors jumping out at you in nearly every room. I don't think I have seen any other park staffed with that many people for each scare attraction. It is just another example of how much care is put into his park.
I will say though that I am very surprised about the audio. It seems like this park, of all places, would have music playing throughout. Regardless, I am quite impressed with Linnanmäki
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
10:55 that’s a zero g stall. The first element is the zero g winder
Looks a surprisingly lovely park with some great attractions. Taiga looks amazing.
Another excellent vlog mate. Really loving following your travels. And so good that you actually review the parks regardless if you've been to them before. Unlike another well known channel with the word review in it, you actually review the parks.
Thank you for your kind words!
Really great vlog! Thanks for visiting Linnanmäki and Finland :)
Probably my favorite vlog in a while. Loved the circus part for sure.
Thank you, it was a crazy moment!
Hmmmmm. I went back and rewatched your first ride on Taiga. It scored zero 'blimeys'.
There's something about this park that reminds me of BPB! I wish we had late openings here in the UK - I'd love to go to a park after a long day at work and see everything lit up. 😊
Great video Shawn. I really enjoyed it and of course the POVs really help too.
Thank you!
I was exited for this vlog!
Thank you for filming and editing such a long video, it was an amazing video! And i also love your channel:)
Thank you so much
I’ve heard of this park but never seen a vlog from here! Happy you liked Taiga
Love the park
Love the vlog!!
Thanks for this, Shawn. I'm going there just tomorrow with my few friends. It's going to be a very sunny day... Anyways, I like your vlogs!
I love how you discover these not so well known parks, fab vlog as always. Cheers
Cheers Mark
one day you will go to powerpark,which is so underrated,its in the middle of nowhere,and its exicted my expections,wthc rides such as thunderbird and Junker which is better than karacho i will tell you that,and good staff and food.
Wow that taiga looked amazing. 👍🏼👍🏼
When I was a kid, we used to spend one day in the summer at Linnanmäki every year. Boy this one brings back memories. Been a while since I've been there, as my own kids are now so big that they go there with their friends, rather than their dad anymore.. Oh and when you mentioned the smell on Vuoristorata, I know exactly what you ment
Thanks for sharing!
What a great vlog....Love all the surprises you brought us along to experience! I love that you captured a rainbow, beautiful sunset and rain showers in the distance...weather geek (thus my youtube name. :) Thanks Shawn!
It was perfect!
At 8:53 the spinning coaster in the back looks like it is floating!
Just realised someone else posted that before me 😐
5:43 Scariest ghost train effect I’ve ever seen. Made me jump and I’m not even on it. Great vlog as always Shawn! Can’t wait for Florida vlog
It was crazy!
If you like launches your going to love the new Hagrid ride. Went on it recently and the front row motorbike is just mind blowing.
aside from Finland being the most beautiful country in the world :)lol (mom's from Helsinki), i loved visiting that park back in 2000 while on a family reunion in Finland..the summertime is the best time to visit. great upload..bringing back memories...
This really is a great video, having watched loads of your videos this turned out unexpectedly to be one I really enjoyed.. Enough for me to actual comment..eh.. Great Park!!
Thank you Kevin!
Yeah but about the linnunrata extra, before it had those vr glasses it was like a space type of ride and it was much better then it is now and it was much more entertaining because you really felt it and it was like tulireki with space decorations and lights. Just saying it wasn’t always bad.
Can't believe I've never seen this video before and I always watch your videos. Looked up Linnanmäki today as I went there around 2002-2003 as my ex was Finnish. It reminded me a bit of Blackpool Pleasure Beach back then but looks like there's been a lot of changes since then for the better. Would like to visit again soon.
Thanks for watching!
I have waited for this👍👍
As an American I love watching your channel, for videos like this, a park I will probably never visit. Thankyou for taking me places I will probably never go, but dream of going
Wow man love your enthusiasm!
Thank you!
Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.
Taiga seems a bit like a longer rmc raptor, in terms of the elements and tightness of the layout and aside from the launches. Looks fun!
Another great Vlog Shawn
Ive followed your Channel since, it only got 40.000 subs. Glad to see the many subs coming since then! Im from Denmark and i hope to see you in Djurs Sommerland and Fårup Sommerland at some point :-) great vlog!
Thank you for your support. I definitely hope to visit more parks in Denmark soon!
Another really good vlog, park looks great.
Thanks!
LOOK AT THAT...love it !!
Really enjoyed this one - it reminded me of Blackpool and Morecambe's parks back in the day - everything packed in and lots of interaction between the rides. Back when I was a kid Blackpool PB would be open till 10pm - plus it was free entry. Used to love walking around and soaking up the atmosphere in the dark evenings. It was loads of fun even if you didn't go on anything. Would love to see more late night riding events next year, now that I've got my season pass for 2020!
Thanks for watching and also for sharing your thoughts!
Blackpool pleasure beach should consider opening and closing later as it seems to work in other amusement parks around the world!!
Definitely!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide was in Blackpool friday evening the place was rammed but pleasure beach was shut missed a trick imo!!
Oooh ok, you chopped the Space Coaster..I was like WTH is this 10 second coaster?!!
Same lmao
same lol
There was just darkness so it cut most of the clip!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide That didn't use to be the case, pre-VR every room was a different spectacular luminescent starscape, and the lifts filled with spaceship internal designs... Most of its been removed since the change to VR. I really miss old Linnunrata, being indoors, it was made for that kind of theming.
@@MentalEdge Nooooo I remember going in there and I had no idea it was a ride I was just like "hey this space stuff is pretty cool to look at" and then I was like "oh there's a roller coaster here???"
Looks like a lot of crac Sean.
Hope you had a brilliant time buddy
Nice you enjoyed your first time there😃
I loved it!
Great vlog really makes my day thank you
Linnanmaki does remind me of a bigger version of grona lund, each park has so many rides packed into a small space with city buildings around, also each park has a stand out coaster with a few great supporting coasters
As I understand it, they're actually friendship parks! Makes sense, since they're relatively close, as far as Europe goes. :D
yeah, gröna lund has better views and atmosphere, but linnanmäki has better rides.
Saying the park gives all proceeds to charity too then say that you got a free ticket...... probably wasn't the best idea shawn 😂🙈
Great video though!
Thanks for watching! When I contacted the park they offered a free wristband which was very kind of them. Throughout the day I purchased quite a few items to help support the park and the fantastic meaning behind it!
@@TheMrdominator1997 Definitely not the cheapest one out there, its 42€ for the wristband. Its been progressively going up due to rising costs, but they've also gotten more and more rides, Taiga being the new star of the park now.
@@ThemeParkWorldwide mate you don't have to justify yourself to people, you give great exposure e to parks most people never even heard of. You do you
@@TheMrdominator1997 I don't think Shawn should feel obligated to donate the earnings because of the free park entry. This Vlog will provide a ton of exposure for both the Park and charity. They know what they're doing, they wouldn't have offered otherwise.
'You know me....i also love me some...'
Hahaha
You love everything that has to do with amusement/theme parks man ;)
Very true!
That front POV on the woody looked like you was sat in a shopping trolley 😂 looks fun
It was such a great ride!
Another awesome vlog 🙏👌
Ah, I’ve got an athletics competition that I have to go to now, I’ll have to wait till later to watch!
Good luck in your competition
Theme Park Worldwide it went good! Now time to watch and enjoy the vlog!
Never heard of this park before. Looks really decent though. Taiga in particular looks like an excellent coaster and of course the woodie looks great. Also, the ringmaster in the dark ride looks like David Cameron lol.
It's taiga not Tiger
Wow taiger does look like a great ride! Looks like a lovely park
Taiga* and Indeed, it's a very good ride! I've been on it myself. First-ever coaster.
Taiga should of been Icon 😪
Fantastic park for family went when it was busy waiting times are good spinning coaster best ride and ferris wheel.
This and Sarkanniemi are the best parks in Finland in my opinion.
Also was sad when they closed: Wasalandia way back in summer of 2015, That was one of the best parks in Finland in my opinion
I first went there when it opned in the 1980's
Also Powerland/Powerpark is awesome!
I love your pronunciation, it’s not the best but I have heard worse. Your getting there, btw I love linnanmäki, I been here since a little baby and my fav as a child was vouristorata and now my fav is magia, but love all.
Great video keep up the good work
Your channel is extreme good 😀😀
Thank you!
Beautiful little park! Gotta go.
I definitely recommend it
I love your channel! And this is my homepark!
Btw Tulireki sucks XD
Same xD
