The opening of the new Tykkimäki Resort was later than planned, but there were enough customers in late summer.
– The amusement park was visited by more than 160,000 visitors this summer. It is a few percent less than last year, says Virtanen.
According to Virtanen, we are also satisfied with the number of visitors to the Tykkimäki resort, which was completed in the summer.
– Compared to expectations, the number of customers was very good. Completion of the resort was delayed a bit from early summer, but at the end of July it already looked as planned. Despite this, the crowd turned out really well, Virtanen is happy.
Dreaming of a novelty device
In the amusement park, the eyes are now focused on future summers and development sites.
– I hope that Tykkimäki will get the right novelty device at some point, within 2-3 years, says Virtanen.
Unlike an amusement park, a holiday village remains open even in winter.
Although there have been enough customers at the Tykkimäki resort, according to Virtanen, the expansion works of the holiday village are not yet current.
– We have to watch this for two or three summers. The decision to expand requires a slightly longer trend, as it is quite expensive to build that, says Virtanen.
