Do-Dodonpa, Steel roller coaster in Fuji-Q Highland, Japan
Do-Dodonpa features a 49-meter vertical loop and stretches across 1244 meters of track through the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park.
The roller coaster operated from December 2001 until August 2021, holding multiple world records including the fastest acceleration from zero to 180 kilometers per hour.
The ride name originates from traditional Japanese taiko drum rhythms that played in the queue area, connecting the experience to local musical traditions.
Four trains with four cars each transported riders through the course, with each train accommodating eight passengers in a two-across seating configuration.
The launch system utilized compressed air technology to accelerate riders from standstill to maximum speed in just 1.56 seconds.
