Took a couple of pictures today:

A couple of more pieces have been erected:

First pieces of fab Intamin tri-tube are up:

More track and first supports have arrived! A crane has also been erected.

Valkyria looks very promising! I suspect they switch to softer wheels to slightly reduce the speed, but then again the CEO Andreas really knows his coasters so he may as well request the speed to remain untouched :D

More footers have been poured: View from inside the park View from outside the park

A very minor update: most of the soil has been removed to reveal the rock beneath, and some formwork has been erected

Some more photos of Taiga construction, from inside the park:

Here's a couple of shots from Taiga construction, taken today at season start:

Theming-wise? Probably not. Phantasialand, Kärnan (and even Gardaland) have integrated beautiful theming with big and intense rides. I don't think this will match or surpass them. Layout-wise? I say yes! From all the layouts I've seen and ridden so far, this seems to capture the best parts of...

A new teaser with POV shots was published!

Taron, EGF and Piraten have that blissful murderous twisting airtime that I've had in no other coaster yet, although Bakken's Tornado also has a nice and vicious first drop. Helix is only a tad more gentle, but the hill (as we call it among friends) provides a prolonged airtime that is thus far...

I like everything else about the trains except the "brown bathroom tiles". Maybe there's something we're not shown yet about how they tie into whatever the theme of Icon is, or maybe I just don't get it. But it seems weird because everything else on the train looks gorgeous! I like the...

Linnanmäki has published a teaser for what looks like something for 2019: "Why was Vonkaputous dismantled? BIG news are coming! #linnanmäki #ilmassaontaigaa2019"

1. Helix - Liseberg. The layout, the music, the lights... 2. Expedition GeForce - Holiday Park. Dat first drop, plus endless airtime throughout the rest of the layout as well. 3. Schwur des Kärnan - Hansa Park. Beyond awesome theming and great speed in layout. 4. iSpeed - Mirabilandia...

I went to Särkänniemi a day before Hype opened. I have to say, Hype and its surroundings look better than I thought. It fits Särkänniemi quite well! Here are some pictures I took: Ironically when I visited Holiday Park in 2015, Sky Scream was closed due to maintenance, and now I...

Went to Hansa-Heide and wasn't disappointed: 1. Helix -Liseberg 2. Expedition GeForce - Holiday Park 3. Schwur des Kärnan - Hansa Park 4. Junker - Power Park 5. Flug der Dämonen - Heide Park 6. Dragon Khan - Port Aventura 7. Piraten - Djurs Sommerland 8. Juvelen - Djurs Sommerland 9. Tornado -...

The first VR coaster in the Nordic countries, Linnunrata eXtra, opens this week on Friday the 20th at Linnanmäki! The park has released a teaser video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgxGqDevl00
