- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ส.ค. 2024
- PowerLand in Kauhava, Finland is arguably the country's weirdest amusement park. Between the two Gerstlauer Infinity coasters and odd non-coasters, PowerLand has an interesting ride lineup. The park is less than 2 decades old, but it's rapidly growing and it's part of the massive PowerPark resort. Find out why this park should be on your radar in this review!

Europe's first GCI, 2 Gerstlauer Infinity coasters right next to each other with the same color skyme, an actually good boomerang, a Moser drop tower. Quite a strange lineup but also not bad.
I agree.
don't forget the worst spinning wildmouse on earth (neo's twister) i have flashbacks to hitting my shoulders there over and over again
I think the most interesting thing about the "Kwai River" water flume is the "prop bridge" which appears to be an homage to the 1958 film "The Bridge on the River Kwai". That's cool.
That's cool, but I was unaware of that film.
It's a good day when canobie coaster uploads a park review, especially a big park with good coasters.
Enjoy!
Hey you maybe have seen pendulum ride called typhoon on powerpark. But now on typhoon is now typhoon 360 it have now counterweight so it can rotate 360
That's cool!
I have ridden Pegasus at the various traveling fairs in Switzerland. Their version of the ride is more modern with vest restraints and it runs crazy fast, sometimes pulling too many forces on the body! I would like to see a POV of the one here to compare the ride cycle.
Wow that sounds awesome.
Went there for two days this summer. I actually enjoyed pitts special alot. It had some pretty good airtime throughout. Might have been running slow when you went there. It also barely ever had more then a 15 minute line.
It sped up from the first cycle, but it was still slow for me.
Kiitos! I enjoyed your review of this park. I was planning a European trip for this summer, but I switched to a domestic trip when the Covid red tape presented too many uncertainties. Did you find many pandemic-related obstacles on your trip?
The only difference for me was the need to take a covid test before my initial and return flight. If I had failed either test, it would have been a major headache.
@@CanobieCoaster I’m very glad to hear that was the only difference! Where did you fly into and out of, if I may ask? When I was researching, that seemed to be crucial in terms of what barriers one would face, and then crossing from country to country was also a very uncertain process. But I was researching before the summer started. Maybe things got easier for you by the time you went?
I can just imagine this park using the TH-cam music studio to find background music hahaha
Pretty much!
that go kart track looks amazing!
The karts looked fast.
@@CanobieCoaster thats awesome ive never seen a track that large for karts
@@thegreatpacoasters3134 the track is actually desinged by legendary finnish formula 1 driver Mika Salo and it shows. Its heaps of fun to drive on
There are so much rides here that intrigue me. There’s a possibility I’ll go on an European trip but it would only be in Poland, Belgium, and Germany. I’m not complaining though lol.
Hopefully soon. Hopefully soon.
Hopefully!
Pegasus looks completely insane with its turns, flips, positive Gs as it swings at its max. speed and negative Gs when it completely inverts. Booster is usually an up-charge ride, and I've learned that to ride The Revelation"; a ride virtually identical to " Booster" at Playland in Vancouver which I've decided to only ride during (and nothing but) the PNE fair, since the PNE fair requires much more $ for a ride pass that doesn't even include "The Revelation" which is also an up-charge ride during any hours of operation Playland has that the Playland season pass holders also cannot ride without paying extra $. "Revelation" (the name we give a similar if not identical ride to Booster) isn't worth me riding it since I'm trying to lower my tolerance for extreme thrill rides (I was actually at the PNE fair 2-3 days ago but skipped "The Revelation" so as not to spoil my 1st trip to Canada Wonderland next week)
Also: I never bought a season pass for Playland this (or last) year since "Coaster" (Canada's oldest and best wooden coaster at Playland in Vancouver); one of Canada's 4 best coasters operating today as well as Mindbender, Behemoth and Leviathan) hasn't operated all season due to not being able to bring on site any of the rare and few people who maintain "Coaster" due to Covid and/or its restrictions. HOWEVER: I am planning on my very 1st visit to Canada Wonderland next week, where I'll finally be able get on an airplane (and fly anywhere for the 1st time since November 2019) to ride Behemoth and Leviathan. I wonder how Leviathan will compare to Millennium Force and how Behemoth will compare to Steel Vengeance; when I find out I'll let you know. Thanks for posting!
Enjoy Canada's Wonderland. It's the best park in Canada. It's a shame Coaster hasn't been able to run this year.
@@CanobieCoaster I intend to. I'd initially planned to go to Six Flags Great Adventure but El Toro is down. Still, I've never been on any B&M hyper, including any B&M hyper that's giga sized, and now I'll be able to ride both Leviathan and Behemoth. I think I'll prefer Behemoth due to its longer duration and more copious amount of airtime, but I won't know for sure until I ride it. I'll finally break 100 coaster credits!
Anyway do you think you could do Powerland in a day from Helsinki? Leave early in the morning and return after park close?
I think it's doable. I've done drives like that to Six Flags Great Adventure and back in a day.
@@CanobieCoaster Thanks
The music thing is awesome
Which one?
@@CanobieCoaster the one you mention picking your own song
okay moving on from powerland now lol looks like a fun park though
There will actually be one more video on it.
Looks like a park someone would make in Planet Coaster based on the theming this park has
Fair!
For some reason this park seems bigger than what you can create in Planet Coaster
Great review did the staff speak english?
Most did.
What type of ride is Pegasus?
It's a Technical Park flat. I think Pegasus is the model name.
Went here some years ago and I gotta say going on Pegasus was a huge mistake. I was out of commission for the next 4 hours from being so dizzy. Didn't throw up though! Otherwise the park was great.
Oh no! I loved the intensity myself.
I visited this summer and in my opinion the park is kinda weird. Some of the rides have good theming, but then there are flat rides that look really cheap. I quess they will remove some of the cheaper travelling flat rides in the future as the park is growing.
I agree there are pockets that don't look as nice, but it is a new park.
this being my homepark i can almost be sure they will not. the park has only recently gained some popularity and had no notable rides besides Thunderbird until 2015 when Junker was first opened. And I don't think it will grow much, as finland has 2 other parks that draw 3x the guests this park does, and it's also in the middle of nowhere. If it wasn't for Junker, I don't think anybody outside finland would know about this park
Technical Park's Pegasus model is much better and more comfortable than a top scan in my opinion. I wish they were as popular as the top scan model.
I prefer top scans run to their max.
The catwalk on Mine Train looks so thick
It does.
They also had pegasus in Tivoli friheden where i ride i my myself, but they have removed it caused by age
That's unfortunate.
@@CanobieCoaster i agree, it was one og the best rides in this World in my opinion
Did my eyes deceive me? It looked like their 'Monster' ride had the circles (i.e., the main platform and the individual arms) rotating in the same direction.
The ride was dizzying.
my friend always goes on it and I in all of my years have never dared to go on it despite my 10+ visits
9:23 i saw track thats a credit
I could see the argument.
I've said several times they should just remove pitt's special. it splits the waiting lines for junker but as a coaster it's a waste of space and not well done
I don't think they'll remove it.
@@CanobieCoaster yeah and it's a shame. they could have used the space alot better
5:11 easy fix, just turn down the friction!
Classic Planet Coaster move.
It's Powerpark
My understanding is PowerPark is the complex and PowerLand is the park.
@@CanobieCoaster It's the other way around
Do the employees speak English? I may need to brush up on Finnish
Most spoke some English.
Särkänniemi is a lot better in My opinion
Better atmosphere, but it's missing a top tier coaster.
@@CanobieCoaster tornado is a decent intamin invert tho
Linnanmäki is better than both of them
