LINNANMAKI
Finland
 Park News - (6/8/10) Linnanmäki apparently closed early on Sunday after a huge brawl involving up to 150 people broke out in the park. No weapons were used thankfully, but what started the fight? According to this report, the fight was thought to have been started by line-jumping guests. Minor incidents were reported earlier in the day, but by the evening some people had just had enough and the brawl started and quickly grew to the point that the police were called in. It’s noted that the clash was between ethnic groups as well, though nothing more specific was mentioned.
(5/6/10) Guess what is rocking it’s way to Linnanmaeki? Probably the second weirdest thing I’ve reported on today… a new heavy metal rock band called Hevisaurus will perform in “a musical” at the theme park later this year. The thing is Hevisaurus isn’t your typical heavy metal band… it is a kid friendly band of walk-around dinosaurs who have apparently taken the Finland metal scene by storm. Wow… if only they were around to have saved Hard Rock Park in the US. I wonder if they’ll open for Dethklok anytime soon? You’ve gotta love Finland… we get pop garbage from Alvin & The Chipmunks here in the US while they get Pikku-Orava, a heavy metal squirrel. Too funny to miss, see it here and then check out Hevisaurus in action embedded below.
(6/21/08) Riders were evacuated from a car on Tulireki at Linnanmaki, a Mack E-Motion coaster ride, when somehow a “backbag” was left in the station by a rider which fell onto the tracks and became entangled in the wheels of the train.
2010 - Pilotto - Now Open - (5/7/10) Linnanmaki has opened a new kiddie coaster for the 2010 season from Technical Park. I’m not exactly sure what it looks like, but it’s called Pilotto.
2011 - X-Car Coaster - Semi-Confirmed - (5/7/10) According to RCDB, Linnanmaki will open a Maurer X-Car Coaster for the 2011 season that will feature a 151 ft SkyLoop.
