Linnunrata eXtra (lit. 'Milky Way'; previously Linnunrata and Space Express) is an indoor roller coaster located at Linnanmäki in Helsinki, Finland. Originally in 2000–2003 it was known as Space Express,[2] but when Linnanmäki started a new naming policy in 2004, using only Finnish names for its rides, the ride was renamed Linnunrata.[3]

In 2018, two new options were added in addition to the original space adventure: Kauhujen taival (the Flight of Horrors) and Liitolentomatka (the Gliding Flight). When you step on the ride, once you put on the headsets, you can choose the video you want.[5]
The roller coaster is built inside the water reservoir of a former water tower, and for the time being is the only indoor roller coaster ride in Finland. The design and production was by APW Group.
