Diavlo, Steel roller coaster at Himeji Central Park in Himeji, Japan
Diavlo is an inverted steel roller coaster at Himeji Central Park in Himeji, Hyogo, Japan. Its circuit has five inversions: two vertical loops, a zero-G roll and two corkscrews. Each train has eight cars, seating passengers four abreast in a single row for 32 riders per train.
Diavlo opened at Himeji Central Park as a clone of Batman: The Ride, the inverted coaster at Six Flags Great America. Built by Bolliger & Mabillard, it was among the first coasters from that Swiss manufacturer outside the United States, opening four months after Nemesis at Alton Towers in England.
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.
