Mr CoasterForce 2016
Finland 24th – 26th July 2020
I’d love to start the topic with a witty prologue discussing Finland and all its famous for, but I cant. Flat pack furniture? No, that’s its blonder, better looking, neighbour. Abba? No, that’s also its neighbour. I’ve scraped the barrel and all I can find is that there’s lots of pine forests, pine forests and lakes. So, come on everyone, lets go to Finland and see lots of lakes and pine forests… Not very engaging, sorry.
The Parks
Sarkanniemi 24th
A city park with 5 creds, known for its charming lakeside atmosphere.
PowerPark 25th
A relatively new park with 6 operating coasters and a new one being built for 2020. Also home to some of Europe’s best go kart tracks if anyone fancies a race!
Linnanmaki 26th
Another city park packed full of attractions and atmosphere. 8 Roller coasters with the standout being Taiga, the new for 2019 Intamin multilaunch coaster.
The Itinerary
CoasterForce will organise all of your transport and accommodation from the meet up point to the drop point. We’ll have a selection of CF’s finest drivers ready to chauffeur you (and your small hand luggage type bag) from park to accommodation. Accommodation will be arranged, with attendee’s being asked for input on room pairings / groupings. Everyone will be staying in the same accommodation to keep the group together to ensure no one is left out and everyone has the flexibility to do whatever you fancy in the evenings / mornings. CoasterForce will hope to arrange the accommodation and park entry at a discounted rate and all savings will be passed equally to attendees once the trip has finished.
The Live will officially begin at 9am Friday 24th July at Helsinki airport, we recommend flying in on the Thursday and staying locally on the Thursday night.
Flights
You are responsible for arranging your own flights and they are not included in the cost of the trip. There are plenty of flights in and out of Helsinki so any days can be added on either side of the trip at your own digression. I know some will look to catch Sunday evening flights out of Helsinki, be warned that this may limit your time within Linnanmaki.
All costs are very approximate at this point as they depend on a number of factors (e.g. number of attendees, exchange rate, potential group ticket rates etc). The costs below are assuming no park or hotel discount, If offered, the costs will decrease to account for this. Final costs will be announced prior to the final payment being due.
The following prices are intended as a rough estimate only
Hotels - £75
Parks - £106
Car Hire - £26
Parking - £2
Fuel - £36
Contingency - £15
Total - £260
A non-refundable deposit of £100 will need to be paid by paypal or bank transfer by 7th March. A second instalment of £100 is to be paid by 12th April and the full balance by 14th June. Payment details will be sent to those registered on the trip once sign up has opened. Remember, CF does not make any money from organising these trips. You only pay for yourself - not to subsidise anyone else. Any money that has not been spent at the end of the trip will be divided equally between attendees and refunded. A detailed breakdown of all costs will be available to view after the trip.
