Jupiter

The Jupiter roller coaster extends over 1,600 meters in length and reaches heights of 42 meters with a maximum speed of 91 kilometers per hour.

Opening in 1992, Jupiter marked a significant change in Japanese construction regulations that previously restricted the building of tall wooden structures.

The roller coaster installation includes a traditional Shinto shrine near the viewing area, connecting modern entertainment with Japanese religious elements.

The entrance fee costs 1,000 yen per ride, and passengers must measure at least 120 centimeters in height to participate in the experience.

The wooden track, constructed from Norway spruce lumber, makes Jupiter stand as the seventh longest wooden roller coaster in the world.
