Diavlo, Steel roller coaster at Himeji Central Park in Himeji, Japan
Diavlo is a steel roller coaster in Himeji Central Park that stretches across approximately 794 meters of track. The ride features five inversions including a vertical loop, zero-g roll, helix, and corkscrew, reaching speeds of 78 kilometers per hour.
The coaster was manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard and designed by Werner Stengel, opening in July 1994. It was among the first coasters from this manufacturer to operate outside the United States.
The engineering design shares specifications with Batman The Ride from Six Flags Great America, representing international collaboration in amusement park development between Japanese and American industries.
Visitors must be at least 140 centimeters tall to ride. The coaster operates with two trains carrying 32 riders each, with each ride lasting about 108 seconds.
The track configuration lifts riders to 33 meters before subjecting them to forces reaching 4.9G through its black and white painted steel framework in the Tamaranwa Zone.
