Giant Coaster, Steel roller coaster at Fuji-Q Highland, Fujiyoshida, Japan.
The Giant Coaster spans 1,432 meters of track, reaching heights of 25 meters and speeds of 80 kilometers per hour during its three-minute ride.
Upon its opening in 1966, the Giant Coaster held the world record for the longest roller coaster track, maintaining this title until its closure in 1997.
The Giant Coaster represents Japan's early adoption of modern amusement park technology, introducing steel roller coaster engineering to the Mount Fuji region.
The roller coaster features a chain lift hill system manufactured by Sansei Technologies, with specific height requirements for passenger safety.
The design excludes inversions, focusing instead on extended track length and traditional roller coaster elements against the backdrop of Mount Fuji.
