The Finnish Fling is an Original Ride to the park. It is to many, the most violent ride in Scandinavia! Riders walk up a long pathway to the top of the barrel and enter. They then stand along the walls with their feet flat on the floor. The Barrel begins to spin and the floor drops down from beneath the riders. As the riders are spinning around this giant barrel, they are left stuck to the wall by a centrifigal force. Many people like this ride but a good many others, like us, don't. It is located next to the Octopus.
If you are planning to ride the Finnish Fling, make sure you don't wear sandles to Worlds of Fun. For some strange reason, this is the only ride in the entire park that won't let you ride if you are wearing sandles or bear feet, no matter what! Another interesting fact about this ride is that it doesn't even look like a ride from the outside. I have had someone ask me what the "Brown Beer Stein" was. They thought is was a brewery or something, not a ride!
