So I'm going to be in Helsinki for work next week, and I should have some free time, so is there any pinball to be played in the city? I looked up the IFPA calendar and I didn't see any tournaments or anything scheduled (it's always awesome to drop in on a league in another city and meet some other pinheads), but there does seem to be a scene there. Anywhere that I should try to check out?

As long as I'm asking, anyone else have recommendations for things to see/do while I'm there? Looks like I'll have most of a day free before I have to leave next Friday.

Thanks for the tip-that place was actually about a 15 min walk from my hotel, so I stopped by and played for a while this evening. Very interesting having a park like that right in the city. Anyway, games are actually in really good shape-it's been a while since I was out somewhere playing on location on my own. GOT is a premium, and worked really well except for one switch issue where the right flippper was triggering a 10 pt switch somewhere. No idea which one, but it only really seemed to be an issue getting the status report. Managed to get just shy of GCing it, and saw a bunch of the game that I'd never seen before. SM Vault is neat, but the volume is a little low, so I couldn't tell whether the new sounds were any better than in the original video. Didn't play much of it, since I own a spidey already, and can play that whenever I want. ST premium was also working pretty well, but there seemed to be something up with the launch button sticking (since it would seemingly trigger at random when a ball started). Otherwise a solid machine though, and I managed to get to KM twice on it

Probably not the most "Finnish" thing to do, but it was a way to kill an hour and change for 6 euros, and play some location games for the first time in ages. Extra balls all of a sudden matter a whole lot more (most of the time I'm playing league, so no EBs).
