Shuttle Loop, Steel roller coaster at Nagashima Spa Land, Japan

The Shuttle Loop propels riders through a vertical loop at speeds reaching 60 miles per hour before climbing a steep incline and reversing direction.

Designed by Reinhold Spieldiener of Intamin and manufactured by Anton Schwarzkopf, this model represents one of twelve installations produced between 1977 and 1982.

The Shuttle Loop marks a significant engineering advancement in Japanese amusement parks, incorporating mechanical innovation with high-speed entertainment.

Riders experience forward and backward motion through the loop, with the entire experience lasting approximately 45 seconds from launch to final brake.

This installation remains the last operating Shuttle Loop in Asia, utilizing a flywheel launch system to generate rapid acceleration.
