New Intamin Gyro Swing is opening up to Linnanmäki in Helsinki, Finland in 2024!

Linnanmäen uutuuslaite Swingi saapuu huvipuistoon 2024!

Lasten Päivän Säätiö on jo vuosikymmeniä ylläpitänyt ja kehittänyt vuonna 1950 avattua Linnanmäen Huvipuistoa kerätäkseen varoja suomalaiselle lastensuojelutyölle. Huvittelemalla Linnanmäellä kaikki asiakkaamme tukevat suomalaista lastensuojelutyötä.

"In 2024, Linnanmäki amusement park is welcoming the exciting new attraction Swingi! The ride, which moves in a pendular fashion, has been built by Intamin, one of the top attraction manufacturers in the industry. The same company is also behind Linnanmäki’s rollercoaster Taiga."

I hate the name. But other than that, this has me excited! If they stay faithful to the art I'll be happy too cause the victorian-esque fencing and brick backdrop look really nice as although Linnanmäki has no overarching themes, they have made an effort with a lot of recent additions and revisions (besides Magia) to have a level of polish with theming and landscaping, Kingi next door to this being a great example. (Which by the way will be amazing to be ascending on the drop tower and have the Gyro swing swing towards you!)

Swingi and Kingi. I hope they build a kiddie cred called Rolli next.

Not my type of ride, but good choice for the park. And replacing the top spin means it will look very intimidating, as that art shows.

Why is Disney taking so long to build a clone of Tron? Why do SF suck so much? No one knows.

On a serious note, maybe the park needs to justify the empty lot where the top spin used to sit. After all, the park, as far as I know, is a sort of NGO by which all profits go to social causes. Maybe this forces them to justify all investments, thus an announcement this early?

The Top Spin basically had to close already this year but they're already adding a different new attraction in 2023 (presumably, not confirmed 100%) in the new Vekkula (funhouse) replacement for the one they closed in 2017 to make way for Taiga. They've had to delay that one by a couple years already due to covid so I suppose they're finally opening that one next year, and the gyro swing will wait for 2024 so they don't open two big new attractions in one year.

Linnanmäki has commented on Facebook that new funhouse Vekkula is now under development, but Swingi is still coming before that so we have to wait at least for 2025 season.
