Pikajuna
Pikajuna is Linnanmäki's mine train themed powered rollercoaster.
The ride comes from Mack Rides and is a custom layout version of their Powered Coaster model, found at parks around the world.
Linnanmäki's version can be found at the edge of the park, and these days sits beneath part of Taiga's track.
It is by no means the fastest powered mine train coaster, but is fun nonetheless - especially for children. The circuit is fairly long and features a couple of helixes separated by a weaving hill. The train usually takes three laps before completing the ride.
Pikajuna can be a little uncomfortable, with some of the transitions and banking a little awkward. Linnanmäki has many better rides, but Pikajuna is great for kids who have graduated from the park's collection of kiddie rides but are not quite ready for the bigger thrills.
