Raging Spirits, Steel roller coaster in Lost River Delta, Tokyo DisneySea, Japan
Raging Spirits is a steel roller coaster in Tokyo DisneySea's Lost River Delta, created by Walt Disney Imagineering, manufactured by Intamin and built by Sansei Technologies. Its roughly 600-metre track reaches 60 km/h and includes a single vertical loop, the only inversion at Tokyo Disney Resort. The ride runs through a recreated excavation site with two massive stone pillars, a carved face suspended by ropes, and flames along a stone staircase.
Raging Spirits opened on July 21, 2005, as Tokyo DisneySea's first new attraction since the park opened in 2001. Walt Disney Imagineering created it, Intamin manufactured it and Sansei Technologies built it, at a cost of about 8 billion yen. Its single vertical loop was the first inversion at Tokyo Disney Resort. The layout follows the Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril coaster at Disneyland Paris, whose hopper-car design it reuses.
The story names two stone statues found in the jungle: Ixchulacoatl, god of fire, and Ah Kutlikutli, god of water. Ancient inscriptions say the two were never to face each other; when excavators turned them face to face, the gods' anger twisted the hopper-car rails into a vertical loop. The ride's name means "raging spirits".
Riders under 117 cm or over 195 cm cannot board, and the restraint must be lowered before the train leaves the station. Guests with high blood pressure, heart, spinal, neck or back conditions, motion sickness or pregnancy are advised against riding. The 2012 incident, when a man was dragged along the platform with his bar still up, led to revised operating manuals.
The ride's story names two stone statues found in the jungle: Ixchulacoatl, god of fire, and Ah Kutlikutli, god of water. Deciphering the carvings revealed that facing the two statues toward each other was strictly forbidden; when excavators did so, the gods' anger twisted the hopper car rails into a vertical loop.
