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...
I give thumbs up for Weeruska too! :) Also there's a basic grocery store near tram stop between Linnanmäki and Weeruska if you like to throw a picnic at the park.
In park there is free and lockable storage for loading for your phones and possible batteries if those fit and wire to various...
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
Sorry double post but just a clearance for all who will come tomorrow for grand openings!

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.
Your posts are like gold now. Really big thank you for your info about Pia and Anssi meeting. They really show love and pride towards to Taiga and also towards to us , enthusiasts!
Great info and pictures! Have you noticed that there's a large window in station wall towards Taigas track and valley? I really hope that it is for customers to watch and take photos of this masterpiece
This Midsummer day will be intresting at Linnamäki. If you are affraid to queue (What has been said to be a good experience by que visuals and effects) you can always buy a wristband and booklet of extra ride tickets to join the fast pass lane (Yeahh, we finally got it!)
But all in Taiga's...
