The new roller coaster premiering in summer 2026 is inviting thrill seekers who are at least one meter tall to ride together with an adult

Konect is a tribute to Tampere, to courage, and to shared moments

Tampere. A city that has always moved boldly forward. The clatter of hooves turned into the chug of steam locomotives. The hum of Nysse buses became the ringing of the tram. Now something new is appearing on the horizon: a track that makes traveling together more memorable than ever. The adventure begins, of course, at the world’s center of joy, Särkänniemi. Along the way you will see world class landmarks: the sky reaching Näsinneula tower and Lake Näsijärvi stretching into the distance, and of course the whole of Särkänniemi. The ride itself is the finishing touch: Konect brings together the youngest and the oldest, the bravest and the calmest, because the best journey is created when it is shared. Särkänniemi’s largest investment of the decade, the family roller coaster named Konect, is now open for the 2026 summer season. . This unique coaster has been designed specifically for Särkänniemi, so there is nothing quite like it anywhere else. Konect is the first major roller coaster in Finland that riders as short as 100 cm can enjoy with an adult. Without an adult, riders must be over 120 cm tall. The track, more than half a kilometer long, will run above the amusement park area, partly skimming right along the shoreline of Lake Näsijärvi. The coaster will spread across the Troika, X, and Tyrsky areas, significantly changing the park’s skyline. Konect is the longest family roller coaster Vekoma has ever built in Europe. It is also the highest rising family coaster in its class.

This wonderful family roller coaster has been designed for a very wide audience, as even a 100 cm tall child can ride with an adult. The goal is to offer shared experiences and joy for larger groups as well, with just the right amount of thrilling fun for small children, teenagers, adults, and grandparents alike.
