Finland's Särkänniemi Adventure Park is to open the world's first

the authorized, legitimate and slightly more sophisticated alternative to the
unlicensed Angry Birds park that opened in China in September 2011. Angry
Birds Land soft-launched last week but "some of the birds are still
migrating," according to Miikka Sepälä, CEO of Särkänniemi, referring to
installations that had not yet been set up. Official opening will be on June

between Särkänniemi, Finland's most popular theme park, and the mobile
game's Finnish developer, Rovio Entertainment.  It will be nested in a
half-hectare area inside Särkänniemi, tickets to which cost €19-35
(US$25-46). Entry to Särkänniemi also covers entry to Angry Birds
