VEKKULA

Updated 06.09.99

The funhouse in the Linnanmaki amusement park is called the "Vekkula". It has been one of the favourite attractions of the park since 1961, when it was built. Vekkula is a two level, walk-thru funhouse, but you can return to or bypass most of the tricks inside.

The house has been renovated many times during its existence, but basically the layout and the main attractions are pretty much the same as in the original funhouse.

Front

The front was modified couple of years ago and a second slide was installed at the same time.

Entrance

Let the adventure begin.

Hall of Mirrors

First you enter into a hall of mirrors.

Revolving Floor

Next there is a revolving floor. Try to walk around the tower counter-clockwise!

Corridor

You'll continue with your journey through this corridor. There are many surprises waiting, like shifting floorboards.

Tilted Room

Tilted room tells a difference between the Vekkula experts and the novices. Real professional can walk through the room without touching the handrails.

Mirror Room

This room is completely surrounded by mirrors. You can see a cloned army of yourself.

Lava Corridor

You leave the mirror room through an undulating floor. Beware of the hot lava beneath you!

Spinning Tunnel

The walls and the lights rotate around you in this tunnel (like having your typical saturday night). The walkway is stationary but you feel like falling down. You can bypass the tunnel if it actually happens to be your typical saturday night.

Ship

Do not get seasick inside the ship.

Submarine

You can skip the submarine too, if the tower is too narrow for you.

Clown

The clown performes you on the video screen

Suspended Bridge

You can scare the other visitors by jumping on the bridge.

Beach

A beautiful girl on the beach is ready to bare you all... ...but, where did she vanished?

Television

Press the button on the wall and you see the favourite program of the Vekkula inmates.

Revolving Barrel

Revolving barrell is an old funhouse classic. You can bypass the barrell if you do not like to stumble.

Funny Stairs

The left side and the left side of the stairs move to the opposite directions. It takes practice to climb through these stairs. You can also use the ordinary stairs or exit the funhouse if you hate the slide.

Slide

The exit from the Vekkula is through the slide. There are two similar slides in parallel, because one could not handle the peak hours.
