Aikamatto / Särkänniemi

Aikamatto is a simple, but wild spinning ride with negative G-force.

The ride was previously known as Lentävä Matto (Flying Carpet in Finnish). In 2000 the whole ride was rethemed and has since been known as Aikamatto, or Time Carpet in English. In 2004 its arms were painted green and the gears were painted in different colors. The seats were also modified from a park bench-like seating to individual cup seats.
