Taiga • Linnanmäki

Layout Ejectors Hangtime Capacity

Taiga is an absolutely brilliant ride! It includes 2 great launches, powerful ejector airtime moments, high intensity, great pacing and whip through twists, fantastic hangtime filled inversions, one of the most beautiful and comfortable trains created by Intamin and nice theming with a great soundtrack! All of these great things form a ride experience like no other with a beautiful layout, and don't forget the great location on a hillside! Only problem really is operations aren't amazing. Definitely worth travelling to Linnanmäki and Finland in general just to experience this coaster.

Pace Masterpiece Intensity

Perfection. Not a single inch of track wasted. From start to finish, this is just an insane, insane ride! There's no moment to catch your breath. It is so much faster than the POV makes it out to be. Taiga has it all: great launches, airtime, hangtime, speed, pacing, theming, positives, whip, you name it. This is Intamin's magnum opus right here.

Nice surprise! Comfort Masterpiece

One of the very best roller coasters I ever ride. Propably the best. It surprises in every turn. The whole ride is very smooth and comfortable. You feel the speed and its duration is very reasonable. It is fitted in very tight space and is crossing with 4 other rides. Very nice layout!

Launch Intensity Hangtime

This is the most exceptional ride I have ever experienced. There is not a bad moment in it pure ecstasy. Personally I think this is a front row ride as you don’t lose any of the intensity of the back but the hangtime is so much better.

Airtimes Comfort Hangtime

Absolute masterpiece of a coaster, built into a hillside flying over 4 other rides, such an unexpected surprise. A contender for my #1 coaster out of 989. I got 25 rides on it.

Masterpiece Intensity Smoothness Capacity

Absolutely amazing. Definitely top 10 coasters in the world

Inversions Location Masterpiece Capacity

Absolutely the best ride in all of Finland, so smooth, shame that you can only choose three pros, just an amazing ride overall.

Masterpiece Intensity Smoothness Intensity

Almost too intense - but in the best way! Taiga got it all: intensity, smoothness, speed, height, drops, airtime, inversions, theming, lap bars...

Airtimes Intensity Hangtime

This coaster is very intense. Brilliant launch that catches you out on first riding as there is no pause as you move out the station. the first element is such fun. from then on the ride is relentless

Masterpiece Intensity Layout

Went to Finland to ride this masterpiece. My expectations were sky high but Taiga blew me away. I was expecting Taron with inversions, but this was so much better. Greying out every time and that first inversion is so amazing. When fully warmed up, I got some super intense ejector in the back. This thing is insane! Currently my #1 coaster. The only very nitpicky con I can come up with was that I noticed a slight rattle in the middle cars on the first few turns. The front is super smooth overall though.

Airtimes Inversions Intensity Capacity

This ride is the best experience if you want a coaster with strong airtime, solid inversions, good positives and very fun layout. To be fair the layout wasnt made with a RMC style. So no outward banked airtime hills or wave turns. Imo Intamin did the perfect combination with the selection of elements and the 0g stall.

Pace Intensity Layout

What a masterpiece, stats wise there is nothing on this coaster that pops out.But man what a ride, every element on this thing is tweaked too perfection. Crazy Hangtime, insane pacing, stomach dropping drops (out of the top hat and some other elements) a curved double down which absolutely sucks you to the ground and a turn at which you grey out all the time. The day of my visit it was running so fast that several people passed out which was really funny :)). So at a certain point they switched trains to cut back on speed^^. I hope this shows how good of a ride this is. Intamin has outdone itself yet again!!

Lap Bar Launch Intensity Theming

A fantastic ride. Not too long of a wait while I was there. It's basically Velocicoaster but less theming. My friend and I rode Taiga 4 times while when we visited the park.

Lap Bar Fun Duration

Amazing ride, speeds up though the day and is at its best in first & last row. Great mix of speed, height, inversions and Hangtime.

Launch Smoothness Hangtime Airtimes

I didn't get lots of airtime just one little pop on the speed hill, I only rode it once tho in the middle so that's probably why. But otherwise solid ride with amazing pacing, amazing launches and incredible smooth!

Launch Masterpiece Smoothness

I don’t know what to say its a very great coaster over all. Its just makes everything right, the lap bar fits in great and it has an great launch. It goes up and down with great inversions. It also goes with a lot of speed through corners which feels just so great. And then the launch to the top hat is just so satisfying. It makes combined everything great. You just have to ride it yourself.

Inversions Launch Fun Headbanging

best ride in Europe

Launch Masterpiece Intensity

Taiga is a phenomenal ride. Just insane. I have not ridden many coaster yet but i can just say this is insane. The airtime, hangtime, inversions, launches and the biggest pro: the pacing. It makes this ride amazing. You have no breathers. Theres no flaws in this ride. Its just perfect.

Pace Masterpiece Layout

Taiga is a phenomenal ride that combines everything that makes costers great into one ride. It has perfect seats and restraints, great launches, airtime, whip, inversions, and is phenomenally paced. The ride is extremely intense, especially later in the day when it’s fully warmed up. Taiga’s not necessarily about the individual elements, it’s about how they all fit together to create an absolute masterpiece. While the launches, zero-g winder, top hat, stall, and heartline roll are the star elements, it’s the pacing and the way everything fits together to make this my number one.

Airtimes Launch Hangtime

Absolutely one of the best rollercoasters in the world. Just so much fun. Others are faster, taller, longer... but almost nothing is this much fun and thrilling, from the very beginning to end. A basically perfect rollercoaster.

Masterpiece Intensity Ejectors

WOW. Really forceful, great elements, great transitions and there are no dead spots between elements (unlike most RMCs). This is like the perfect child of Taron and Lech coaster. Intamin really has a great model with the blitz coaster combining the best restraints, best LSM launches and great trackwork. If this had Taron level theming I wouldnt know which ride could beat it. Also dont be fooled by the POVs, just like Flying Aces the videos dont do the justice for this ride. Glad I got this as my number 200.

Comfort Masterpiece Intensity

This ride is insane, definitely better than the POV makes it out to be. The stall trashes that of any RMC and the mix of ejector airtime, fast transitions and good positive forces makes this ride be close to perfect!

Inversions Comfort Ejectors Disappointing!

Honestly its top tier 100% although i did go into it thinking it would be my new #1 but who cares its a masterpiece by the worlds best coaster company!

Comfort Launch Pace Capacity

A coaster with amazing views on the top hat. Great pace and very comfortable lap bar and no-floor seat. The trains also look great.

Inversions Masterpiece Duration

this ride is brilliant, amazing pacing, wild transitions and airtime, and some fantastic inversions!

Airtimes Lap Bar Duration

Literal perfection, no an inch of wasted track at all. Strong forces in all direction, really sudden yet smooth changes from positives to negatives with some of the best coaster trains ever created to boot. The queue and station were a pleasant surprise, very well finished off, and the use of terrain for the entire ride is done superbly.

Pace Masterpiece Layout

Taiga is simply amazing. You can get some good airtime on the top hat. The second half pacing is almost perfect. Every time I ride I can get all that surprises. The floorless design is really neat.

Fun Intensity Ejectors Dead spots

A fantastic Coaster. Maybee the best in Europe.

Great ride. Pretty intense in the back row. One of the three coasters I constantly grey out at.
