Summer 2025 wristbands at the Creepy Carnival
Särkänniemi wristbands and Rides wristbands can still be used at the Creepy Carnival in October. Some wristbands work as they are, but some wristbands may need to be activated or changed before the visit.
If you have a Särkänniemi wristband that is bought either in Särkänniemi, or bought/received through a trade union, association, Telia etc., the wristband activates automatically for the day when the QR-code is first scanned in Särkänniemi. If you have Särkänniemi wristband, for an open date that is purchased through our online store, the wristband must be activated before your visit. So please contact our customer service when you know the date of your visit.
If you have a Rides wristband or a Särkänniemi wristband tied to a date, you must exchange the wristband at our ticket booths on the day of the visit. If the original purchase price is cheaper than the Carnival wristband (€44), the price difference must be paid. Please be prepared to show the receipt or order confirmation when exchanging the ticket
TakeOff is leaving Särkänniemi’s selection
TakeOff, manufactured in 1997 and thrilling daredevils at Särkänniemi since 2006, has reached the end of its journey. The TakeOff ride will be recycled by the Finnish family-owned company Kuusakoski Ltd. The material will be delivered as recycled raw material for the steel industry. TakeOff is being removed to make way for a large new family roller coaster opening in summer 2026. Relocating TakeOff to another site was considered, but due to the ride’s age, it was assessed that its lifecycle has no further potential. We thank TakeOff for many joyful summers. Letting go of the old soon means welcoming something new to Särkänniemi.
