Ukko is the God of thunder in Finnish mythology (like Thor) and it also means an "old geezer" in modern language.

So, about the names: Taiga is of course the biome that Finland is found in, but when pronounced in Finnish it sounds like "taika", meaning magic. Ukko is an ancient god figure of the finns. Kirnu is a churn. Tulireki is a fire sleigh. Salama is a lightning. Hurjakuru is a wild gorge.

The wooden coaster actually has pretty intense air time if you sit at the front. You'll jump out against the lap bar (which doesn't touch you lap so it is an actual jump). It's at the hill top after the second double down.

LINNANMÄKI MENTIONED RAHHH 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🥵🥵🥵🥵🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🎢🎢🎢🎢

The breakmans initially were old WW2 pilots. Interesting part of Finnish history there as well.

Nice! You missed the one older coaster inside the round building at the center of the park. It's called Linnunrata ("the milky way") that has a VR set update. Earlier it had only a space theme made out of styrofoam. It's jerky, a bit camp, but it's my favourite after Taiga and wooden coaster there.

18:30 "Perkele, Perkele, Perkele" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love the smell of the old rollercoaster of Linnanmäki (Castle Hill). I'm weird that way. Wood, wood tar, iron, and engine grease...

I really want to get on Taiga, might become my Top 1… actually almost had the occasion to get in Linnanmaki since I did a school trip to Finland including 3 or 4 days to Helsinki, unfortunately for me it was the off-season . Still went to see Taiga and the other rides from outside the park, they’re impressive, especially Taiga! Being able to walk in a random street with this monster behind a fence on the side is something

As a Finn I just Love how U Said some of The names :D like "VuOrisTOraTa"

I’m finnish and i’m going this summer to Taiga it looks so much fun!

Very emotional…. it felt like I was there with you guys since I was there since the beginning💛🇫🇮 I’m grateful for our virtual memories ありがとうございます🙏🏻またね👋🏻

Hi, finn here! Glad you made the trip to my home park! Also Ukko doesn't really mean anything in English, but it is the name of basically Zeus of Finnish mythology

If you happen to ever visit Finland again, you absolutely MUST visit Särkänniemi! It's in my hometown of Tampere, as you probably know, and there are some actually fun rides, like Tornado and Hype! Loved this video btw! So cool you guys visited Linnanmäki!

Great you enjoyed Taiga! It's a lot of fun! And Linnanmäki in general is fantastic, it keeps evolving.

I gained a new appreciation for Tulireki through your suffering

Taiga is one of the smoothest fast rollercoasters ive been on. Great experience!

Taiga is another one of my top bucket list coasters. I have no doubts at all how much I would love it. It is definitely my type of coaster. It seems to be somewhat of a mixture of VelociCoaster and Maverick (2 of my favorite roller coasters) in many of its aspects. Maybe I'm wrong about that... but it does give me that impression. I'm quite sure that if I had the opportunity, I would be riding Taiga over and over again in a day at Linnanmaki.

im from finland and as soon as i read the title i cliked the video and liked and subbed

This video is like taiga. Just extremely enjoyable and rewatchable

Tiaga looks incredible!! Very jealous that looks awesome!! This trip looked super cool thanks for the amazing content 🤙

Great video! Taiga looked so good! I'm really looking forward to these countdown videos coming up like last year's! This was a great trip to watch!

Waited to watch your blitz coaster rankings before finishing this series. Excited to see where Taiga ranks. Visually I think it’s amazing. The bright blue track coupled with that orange train is a great combo in my opinion

Great review! I'm not a fan of rollercoasters (was traumatized as a kid in the 90's in the states in some Ohio park) but two years ago did Taiga. For reasons unknown to me I agreed to Taiga as the first ride and immediately Kirnu next. Rough, but I can see why people rate Taiga so high. I'm planning to have another go!

I'm with you on ukko feeling actually unsafe lmao, normally when you go upside down you have good speed so it feels fun, but with ukko you go soooo slow lmao

Salama (Lightning) was designed to make you feel like a bird flying around, and I think it does that extremely well

Great Video, Taiga looks awesome!

Decently long ride looks amazing 😮

Really enjoyed this vlog, was cool to see your reactions to Taiga🦅 I love this ride so much. It has been my number one for two years (it just got dethroned by freaking Eejanaika) and I cannot say enough good things about it. I feel like Taiga is a great showcase of what modern Intamin can do and what they’re capable of nowadays. Like Taiga packs in the best characteristics and elements of the blitz coaster model into one ride. Like you said, it’s so enjoyable, pure fun while not being to overly insane and a coaster you could ride all day long. After each and every ride, it grew more on me and I still stand by the fact that this is the best and especially well rounded coaster in Europe. I could go on and on with this ride, it’s so beautiful to look at, the soundtrack by Imascore is amazing, the trains are some of the coolest I’ve ever seen and the location of the ride and how it goes down this massive hill and is eventually even the first thing you see when coming to Linnanmäki (for us at least) is also spectacular. When going to Europe, Taiga should definitely not be missed🔥

My children and I love Taiga :-) - great you came to visit Finland. I think it is quite similar to "Bluefire" in Europapark in Rust, which I love, too 🙂

The video, although incredible quality, doesn't do the ride justice, this is the most scary ride I've ever been on, it's INCREDIBLY fast, I felt like I was gonna fall every second of the ride :D :D

Wow that’s awesome !

6:28 You've been hit with the Finnish ''I am watching you outsider'' face.

Hi Marc! This was a really enjoyable trip to watch. Great stuff!

You know when it looks like Taiga is slow but its actually super fast when you go on it (i have tested and im finnish)

Next time you should go to a waterpark in finland called Serena it's really fun!

I really recommend the other big amusement parks in finland, powerpark and särkänniemi, there's also some smaller amusement parks in finland, like tykkimäki, but they're not that good

👏 👏 👏 Glad you had a great trip, thank you for making content on it for us. My only one wish was that you could have gone to Power Park

Happiest country

I feel like Tulireki isn't that shaky in the front seats

I love the wooden rollercoaster. It's pretty much the only rollercoaster I have courage to enter lol. I've only been to Salama and some other indoor space rollercoaster.

When I was like 6yrs old I went to Linnanmäki with my mom and my uncle. I wanted to ride the wooden rollercoaster (vuoristorata) with my uncle. BIG mistake! My uncle was very big and fat and I was so little. I don't know how they let us ride together because the safety bar wasn't even close to me. There was no problems until the big jump where I flew up from my seat and headbutted another passenger in front of me. Glad I didn't fall from the side! Last time I rode anything with my uncle xD

Hi Marc, it was nice to follow your Europe trip. Helsinki is also on my bucket list but I will probably only manage to go there next year. I hope you will do a new top 50? coaster list after you have experienced most of the European top coasters,

im going to linnamäki in september im so exited

And so this trip has come to an end. Been a pleasure following along and even joining myself. And I can experience it again when Jesiah's vlogs drop 🤣

That Vuristorata coaster is better than the one at Bakken because it still has the brakeman. However, the one in Bakken has that one detail going into the tunnel... You know the one.

I went to Kirnu when it was new. A fun short ride otherwise, I don't know if it was my own fault or not but whilst I was holding for dear life with everything I got, my leg got a huge scrape onto it from some part that was in the leg area. It didn't need anything to be done to it afterwards, but it was uncomfortable enough not to get back and try that machine again 😅

I goed to this in real life and it was really good

My question is that should Taiga have break runs to have better hourly capacity? I was really bummed at its first year when you had to wait around 1,5h to get to ride it.

wow.. what a ride.

Im literally in Estonia rn I came 2 hours ago from my cruise lol

Dont diss on my man tulireki

I have been in Ukko only once. Got a huge whiplash injury from it and had a killer headache for a week.

I went to the taiga and I fell in love with it😂😂

When you come to Power park in Finland? 😅 Junker, Thunderbird and Pit Stop

Oh yeah, Tulireki is... rough. I remember the first time I rode it, it was hard to get to lap bar on correct tightness, at first it was one step too loose but then I managed to push it tighter mid-ride... right before the break for the end of the ride so I got air punched out. I still sort of like the ride and go to ride Tulireki every time I go to Linnanmäki. I do prefer the old wooden coaster more. And taiga... I ride with my eyes closed.

I went on this ride 4 times, ukko too lol

The wooden coaster every brakeperson is different. Some of them give littlebit more speed. And some of them has been many MANY years as woodencoaster brakeperson. Not sure who's been there longest now, but there's been dudes whos been brakeman as long as 20years or some.

Why didn't you guys go to kingi

Liked your video. Nice to see you go through my childhood amusement park. But I must say... 50% of the park heard you. It's not polite to be so noisy here ;) All good! Really nice to see you guys enjoying Linnanmäki!

I think I saw you with the intamin workers at taiga!

Ive been there it so fun and ive been there and ive been at taiga too

Would you say that Tulireki gives you negative e-motions.

Weather sure looked Finnish that day. lol Glad you had a good time, though.

I can see Linnanmäki from the train to the city center

I saw ur 1st reaction to WCR

why didn:t you go to king and also there is a new machinle called the swing

Shawn Sanbrooke went into the nonprofit stuff a bit more. It would be like if Shriner's or St. Jude built or acquired an amusement park

Bro niiiiice you went to Finland and to Linnanmäki

Great vlog, you earned yourself a new subscriber! Just want to point out that you missed one major coaster there called Linnunrata 😅 It is inside that big round building (old water tower). It is basically Finland's space mountain and it even has VR if you want to ride it with VR.

Did you ride Linnunrata and what flats you did?

Who hit their head on the ukko as it stopped on the top

Finland mentioned🇫🇮🇫🇮

Your Onride Reactions Never Fail To Dissapoint , They Show Just How Intense And Fun The Coasters Are... Or How Bad As Seen On The Mack E-Motion Coaster , You Gotta Give Mack Credit Though , They Tried , Even If It Didn't Catch On.

I live in finland

I live in Finnish

Salama is the best

my dads friend is now or was the rollercoaster tester in linnanmäki every morning i dont know if he still is

1:14 bro was walking out of the park

the people who didint scream inside the dark tunnel in "puu vuristorata" are criminals

You should visit särkänniemi in Tampere

Well this was a big journey super sad this won’t happen for another year

You should do a family coaster tier list

❤

hi live in finland i dont know if i should say this but i live in lohja

Taiga or taron? For me it’s taron but I know a lot of people say taiga

Now you need to go to särkänniemi

Im Finnish and i somehow haven't been there

Ukko or Skyrocket 2?

Practice your Finnish! Perrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkele. Throw your all into that rolling R.

You didn't go to linnunrata

Will u ride Ispeed one day it's a old gen but looks to give a punch

Some coasters are like: Lets scoop some ice cream... But let's not eat it, and lets just hide it. - Then the others are that, but forget the latter part. They basically shoot your guts, so that you have no idea what happened. That's why there are some rides I just don't go. They would just make me mad. I dare to say that I'm more mad at those rides than shit rides.

Y’all missed the indoor coaster?

Tulireki was the hot shit when I was a kid, but now compared to Taiga its atrocious; so janky and outdated. I wish you would have had the opportunity to try out Vonkaputous, which was built where Taiga is today. It was a nice soak of water during hot days. I'm also a bit sad that KotKot (a kids' ride that I really liked) had to be demolished for Taiga, but to be honest, I prefer Taiga being built

👍

Too many of their coasters latch on your stomach which I am not fan of, kinda painful when it comes to a halt

Can you go to the largest theme park in Germany

The UK next?
