Linnanmäki is an amusement park in Helsinki, Finland. Linnanmäki is the most popular amusement park in Finland. It has many rides of different sizes. It also has other attractions, such as arcades, games, kiosks, restaurants and an outdoor stage on which different performers appear in the summer. Annually the park is visited by over 1 million guests.
Linnanmäki currently has 45 rides, along with many other non-ride based attractions. The most notable ride in the park is the wooden roller coaster Vuoristorata, opened in 1951. It is the most recognisable symbol of the park, and was one of the first permanent rides to be built at the park. The oldest ride in Linnanmäki is Karuselli (a carousel), built in 1896.
Linnanmäki has eight roller coasters. Major rides include three tower rides, a ferris wheel, a river rapids ride and spinning rides. The park also has a selection of family and kiddie rides.
Admission to the park is free, and most of the rides can only be ridden with the possession of a ride ticket, or the more popular wristband, which allows the wearer access to all of the park’s rides for the entire day. As of 2013, the wristband costs the same for each customer, regardless of height.
