Pikajuna is a roller coaster located at Linnanmäki in Helsinki. It was known as City Express during 1990-2003 seasons, but when Linnanmäki started a new naming policy in 2004, using only Finnish names for its rides, the ride was renamed Pikajuna. Pikajuna means Express Train in Finnish.
Some roller coaster fanatics consider this ride as non-roller coaster, because the train has an engine that pulls it forward, whereas "real" roller coasters are not powered.
