The blurb for the VIP section says:
The windows are slightly tinted to enhance your privacy and create a more intimate atmosphere for you and your party.
If I didn't know better, I'd say that they were inviting people to have sex as they go around.

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You might also learn that ”sauna” is the only finnish word used commonly in english and in some other languages. Swedes though call it bastu, what a weirdos.
Bara bada bastu!!
Espresso Macchiato for me please
Not for me. The first requirement of every sauna should be the ability to leave immediately whenever you feel you need to.
Doesn't really matter for this one, it barely gets warm.
always wondered how rotisserie chicken feel
If you're asking to be spitroasted you can probably find some people on craigslist
I’ve always wanted to be trapped in a sauna. Sounds lovely.
Someone saw the Finnish sauna girl reel/short as well I see lol
When it comes to weird finnish saunas, that's barely in the contest.
What are some of the others?
There's one made of stone and a natural brook runs through the floor.
In the winter there are several saunas built from snow / ice. The snow sauna is said to be an especially pleasing experience.
There are sauna rafts that have engines, so you can cruise around the waters.
There are car trailer saunas that you can rent and drive to any open beach you wish. Or your own backyard.
And probably a whole lot crazier ones that I can't remember right now.
Around Seattle there are hot tub rafts. People motor around the Puget in them and definitely don't get hammered 😂
Ah we actually have the raft ones in sweden as well. Theyre pretty nice actually.
There are sauna rafts that have engines, so you can cruise around the waters.
I went on one of those in Norway. We didn't have enough people to book the private bay tour so we were just at the dock. We jumped off the roof into the ocean. It was amazing. Highly recommend if you ever get a chance
During the wars saunas were also build in bunkers and dugouts in the front line. It was ordered from the top that every Finnish soldier goes to sauna once a week.
I would argue that a Ferris wheel is weirder than any of those lol. The raft is the only competitor.
I think there's also one on a ski lift gondola in Lapland...
A relative of mine had a sauna installed into a bus, in which she travelled around the world.
A sauna with completely clear windows - amazing!
I saw it when we were there recently, but didn't ride it.
There are saunas everywhere there.
I stopped at a service station in the middle of nowhere.... Had a sauna!
One of the museums I went to... Had a sauna!
Lots of sauna boats around, + this. Not sure how hot it can get given that I assume the doors open every time it goes round?
Starting at only 240 euros per hour, what a deal!
That's for up to 4 persons
The bottom should go under an ice cold stream.
Is that where they hold ferris-chan
