Kirnu is a steel roller coaster located at the Linnanmäki amusement park in Helsinki, Finland. Kirnu is Intamin's first ball coaster.
[edit] Layout
The ride starts as riders climb the curved lift hill and do a quick pre-drop and immediately do a sharp half loop and then go through another half loop and finally another half loop before being slowed back down by near-vertical brakes and doing a final quarter and returning to the station.
[edit] Incidents
On May 16, 2007 a man injured his leg on Kirnu and its brakes were renewed.[1]
