Regina II, Wooden roller coaster at Tobu Zoo Park, Japan
Regina II is a wooden roller coaster at Tobu Zoo Park that runs over water with a steampunk-inspired design. The ride features two-person cars and offers fast-paced runs with multiple turns and descents.
The original Regina opened in 2000 as the first wooden roller coaster built over water, operating until 2019. A major renovation led to the complete rebuilding of the track with new vehicles and modern elements.
The name Regina comes from the Italian word for queen, chosen from roughly 30,000 entries submitted across Japan. This public naming process shows how visitors participated in shaping the park's attractions.
The roller coaster has a minimum height requirement of 120 centimeters for riders and operates during park hours. Arriving early in the day helps avoid longer waits, especially on weekends and holidays.
The 2023 renovation brought new cars from Great Coasters International, specifically designed for the steampunk aesthetic. These vehicles provide a modern riding experience while the wooden structure retains its original appeal.
