World-Record Roller Coasters and Major Attractions

Hakugei - Asia's First Hybrid Coaster

Hakugei represents Asia's first hybrid coaster, combining wood and steel construction. This fusion creates complex and thrilling course layouts featuring 360-degree corkscrew rotations and a maximum inclination angle of nearly vertical 80 degrees, reaching top speeds of 107 kilometers per hour. The wooden pillar-surrounded course creates heart-stopping moments as riders navigate through narrow wooden frames, while 90-degree banked rails that turn vehicles completely sideways deliver shocking sensations that overturn conventional roller coaster expectations.

Steel Dragon 2000 - World's Longest Roller Coaster

Steel Dragon 2000 stands as a world-class super coaster, dropping from 97 meters high (higher than the Ferris wheel) at a 68-degree angle for the ultimate thrill experience. With a total length of 2,479 meters, it holds the world record as the longest roller coaster. This gigacoaster reaches peak speeds of 153 kilometers per hour during a thrilling 3 minute 12 second ride. As one of only three gigacoasters worldwide, Steel Dragon 2000 was appropriately launched in 2000, the Year of the Dragon.

Arashi - Japan's First 4D Spin Coaster

Arashi marks Japan's highly anticipated first 4D spin coaster, featuring uncontrolled free-rotating seats that create unpredictable movements. This cutting-edge attraction defies conventional expectations with steep gradients, rapid acceleration, and thrilling swings and spins that deliver unimaginable weightless experiences.

Acrobat features riders in prone positions as they ascend 43 meters above ground before diving down. The 1,021-meter course includes 360-degree loop inversions, corkscrew elements with spinning sensations, distinctive pretzel-shaped sections, and surprising water-skimming effects. Reaching maximum speeds of 90 kilometers per hour, this attraction offers the refreshing sensation of truly flying through the air, providing new unprecedented experiences as Japan's only large-scale flying-type jet coaster.
