Vonkaputous was a water roller coaster located at Linnanmäki in Helsinki, Finland.[1]
In Vonkaputous, visitors rode in a roller coaster car appearing as a boat, seating 10 passengers in 5 rows. After leaving the station, the car descended into a 90 degree turn leading to the lift hill. After the lift hill, the right-hand first drop led through a tunnel with mist effect. After the left-hand second drop, the car splashed to the water. After the splash, the car slowly passed to the station through an S-turn.
