Taiga is such an awesome coaster. Have ridden it for the first time the past summer and after a couple of rides when it warmed up it became my favorite coaster in Europe. The forces (airtime, hangtime, laterals) are strong and the layout is almost perfect with way more airtime moments than I expected. Got a total of 20 Rides because the park was quite empty and it is my #2 coaster overall. The setting and the trains are awesome as well. Really enjoyed the video, nice to see my footage being used on your channel.

As a Finn it was nice to hear you talk about the history of the park and making a global audience aware of Linnamäki. Also it was funny to hear mispronounced Finnish coaster names, but I shall not complain about that. Taiga surely is Finland's best coaster by far and almost puts the other coasters of Linnamäki to shame. Vuoristorata is still the second best coaster in the park despite being 70 years old.

The zero g winder really is the most weirdest inversion I have experienced, it really sets the tone of the rest of the ride; intense, fast paced and craziness. It could possibly be my number one, if I just haven't had the misfortune of just riding it once. I was there for the first season and the operations were really, really bad, however I did hear that's gone now. It's basically Taron on steroids but even more crazy, it might not look like it but you will be blown away, Linnanmäki really hit the mark

Go check out Särkänniemi too if you ever come over to Finland. I'm from Helsinki and really adore Taiga, it's an engineering masterpiece that just rides perfectly. But Tornado in Särkänniemi is just a whole other vibe from pretty much anything that I've ever known. It's such a genuine, industrial and raw coaster that rides beautifully even with its age. It's my favourite coaster on the planet.

I absolutely love going on taiga, it's one of the best rides I have ever been on and have been on there 6 or 8 times already. I went on it this year as well since last year I only went on there 3 times and that was it, the merchandise is amazing as well with, hoodies, t-shirts, pins, stuffed animals etc. I recommend on going there if it is possible due to covid, but during june / july / august you can freely travel to there since covid cases die down during those months.

nice one hun! Taiga sounds like tiger plus i love the strickin blue track

As a person who has ridden taiga many many times and i still love it. It is just amazing. It is really long compared to other coadters at Linnamäki, that is why I love it.

from what I remember the ride was surprisingly pleasant for something as large and *fast* also while the queue was long it was themed and not unpleasant which is worth mentioning since proper theming is quite new in finnish amusement parks

Taiga is one of my favourite rollercoaster, as of today I have ridden 228 rollercoasters across Europe and for me this ride stands at third please after Helix and Wildfire. The interaction with the other attractions and hillside make this ride. The airtime and inversions are very good. This ride shows why Taron needed inversions. Also the turn after the first inversion is very forceful and made me grey out multiple times. It looks maybe not as good in videos but riding this beast is not to be taken lightly. If anyone has the chance this year to visit a park in Scandinavia I would really recommend this park. It is also very easy to get there.

Honestly this one is probably my favorite ride anywhere. And I have Carowinds in my back yard. I got the credit on accident after a travel issue that rerouted me back to Helsinki for the evening. I don't regret disobeying "she who must be obeyed" in order to get this credit. It is the best.

I was there on opening day. Most of the public like it, but some people don’t because it replaced the very popular fun house which was located where the queue is today. They are going to rebuild it in few years though. Also the fast track queue line got critisism when it was announced.

i live in finland and Taiga is my favorite rollercoaster in linnanmäki. I just love it so much.

Hands down looks like the best Intamin Blitz that’s currently open imo. It looks fantastic
