    Linnanmäki | Taiga | Intamin LSM Launch Coaster

    Linnanmäki is in the top of the big hill. It's Helsinkis one of the most highest places. Taiga and other tall and vertically high rising rides are closed just before thunderstorm starts. Usually at this time of season the forecast seems to be right around the Linnanmäki but somehow those clouds...

    Linnanmäki | Taiga | Intamin LSM Launch Coaster

    Previous ride Vonkaputous had amazing forest and hilly sides around the Premier Rides track. Unfortunately we lost it while they build taiga. Greenery is coming back nicely and there's trees planted. Nothing grows in seconds

    Linnanmäki | Taiga | Intamin LSM Launch Coaster

    I compare Taiga and Helix as I've done both now. You can clearly see and feel the overall feeling of different manuafracturer. As Helix is more complex and larger area terrain coaster, it lacks of powerful intensity. It's more like traditional powered coaster with fluffy launches. Taiga uses her...

    Taiga testing gets wilder and wilder! This bird flies the track really well. I got to see also emergency stop testing at second launch and it was really interesting to see roll backs also.

    Linnanmäki | Taiga | Intamin LSM Launch Coaster

    I really love the sound and also silence of the track. Pace is really good, I'll just hope that trim brakes will not ruin it down.
