Is it true that Nagashima Spaland is a “holy place for roller coasters”?
Nagashima Spaland is an amusement park located in Nagashima Town KuwanaCity, nagashima Prefecture, on the north side of Mie Prefecture.
It is easily accessible as it is located just off the Wangan nagashima IC on the Isewangan Expressway, and is approximately 40 minutes by car from central Nagoya and approximately 2 hours by car from central Osaka.
There are a total of 60 attractions within the park, making it one of the largest in Japan.
It has 12 roller coasters, the most in Japan, and is truly a sacred place for roller coaster and thrill ride enthusiasts. It is also a popular spot visited by screaming machine fans from all over the country ♫
Explaining all the roller coasters at Nagashima Spaland!
From here, we will explain each of Nagashima Spaland 's 12 roller coasters one by one. The scream level of each roller coaster is expressed in 3 levels (★★★ → High scream level, ★★☆ → Medium scream level, ★☆☆ → Low scream level). In the second half of the article, we will also introduce a model course that will help you efficiently tour all of Nagashima Spaland 's roller coasters!
Steel Dragon 2000 ★★★
Steel Dragon 2000, one of Nagashima Spaland 's ``Four Great Coasters,'' has a track length of 2,479 meters, which is the longest in the Guinness World Record! The highest point is 97m and the drop is 93.5m, both of which are the highest in Japan!
Steel Dragon is an open coaster with no covers covering the roof, doors, or sides of the seats, giving you a sense of freedom, and the thrill of falling headlong down a 93.5m drop is truly world class!
This is a popular coaster that follows the classic thrilling route. As it is a popular attraction, the wait time can be over 60 minutes on weekends.
Additionally, the "Steel Dragon 2000" undergoes an intermediate inspection of approximately 30 minutes once a day. Please note that boarding reception will be temporarily suspended from 13:00 to 14:00.
Moby Dick ★★★
The second of the "four major coasters" is Moby Dick. This is Japan's first and Asia's first hybrid coaster that overturns common sense by combining wood and steel, and is one of the most popular attractions on par with Steel Dragon 2000 among Nagashima Spaland 's thrilling attractions!
The total length is 1,530m, and it rises steadily to a maximum height of 55m. Once you reach the highest point, you will descend rapidly at a maximum speed of 107km/h on a rail with a maximum inclination of 80 degrees! You can also enjoy a wonderful view overlooking Ise Bay.
At the end of the course, you can enjoy a thrilling course, including the 360-degree corkscrew, a 360-degree rotation.
The moment when you run through a course surrounded by wooden pillars at breakneck speed and at an impossible angle is sure to scream ♫
If you like screaming machines, you'll want to experience it over and over again, so please give it a try.
Like Steel Dragon 2000, the waiting time can be over 60 minutes on weekends.
Acrobatics ★★★
The third of the "four major coasters" is Acrobatics. Acrobat is a flying roller coaster where you ride while lying face down.
The course has a total length of 1,021m and is full of attractions, including a 360-degree somersault loop, a corkscrew where you can run through while squirming, and a surprising performance where you run through the water!
It glides through the air at a maximum speed of 90 km/h, so you can experience the exhilarating feeling of "flying through the sky" like a bat ♫
Wait times can be over 30 minutes on weekends.
Arashi ★★★
The fourth of the "four major coasters" is Arashi. A coaster where the seat hangs from the side of the rail and rotates around with your feet suspended in the air.
Unlike regular coasters, you can't predict the next move at all, so you can enjoy a thrilling ride ♫
When you're riding it, you won't know which way is up or down, and you'll experience a floating sensation that feels like you're flying through the sky!
Arashi's specifications include a maximum height of 34m, a total track length of 310m, and a ride time of approximately 60 seconds.
The maximum speed is 65 km/h and the maximum slope is 90 degrees, but it is a roller coaster that is more impressive than the specs show ♫
Arashi is also a popular attraction, so the wait time can be over 30 minutes on weekends.
Corkscrew ★★☆
Corkscrew is a roller coaster where you can enjoy two consecutive acrobatic rotations.
It is Nagashima Spaland 's first thrilling machine, and runs through a screw-shaped course with a total length of 390m. You can enjoy the thrill of running through it while making a groaning sound ♫
This roller coaster is popular among elementary and middle school students and adults as an introductory version for those who are new to screaming machines.
Wait times can be over 30 minutes on weekends.
Looping Star ★★☆
A looping star with a distinctive looped red rail.
The course begins with an early climb, followed by a series of steep drops, turns, and figure-eight twists from a height of 24.5 meters. The course layout, which is 590m long and packed with various elements, is so fun that you'll want to ride it over and over again.
This Looping Star is also a roller coaster that is popular among elementary and junior high school students and adults as an introductory course for those who are new to screaming machines.
Wait times can be over 30 minutes on weekends.
Shuttle loop ★★☆
The shuttle loop is a roller coaster located right next to the main gate of Nagashima Spaland. The thrill of taking off suddenly from the platform with the only catapult type train in Japan is truly unique.
A rocket launches from a stationary state to a speed of about 90km/h in one revolution! It soared towards the sky, stopped for a moment, and then spun backwards. Please hold the safety bar firmly and be careful not to get carried away♪
The countdown before the start increases the excitement level. Let's all get excited!
Wait times can be over 30 minutes on weekends.
Ultra Twister ★★☆
The coaster climbs towards the top, then suddenly turns forward and descends vertically!
It then entered into a circular rotation, and just when I thought it had stopped, it now fell back and made a complete rotation. Enjoy a series of thrills with no time to catch your breath! It spins around a lot.
Ultra Twister is located deep inside Steel Dragon, making it difficult to find. With the Steel Dragon entrance gate on your right, walk straight ahead and you'll see the yellow and green rails of Ultra Twister.
Wait times can be over 30 minutes on weekends.
Double wild mouse ★★☆
``Double Wild Mouse'' is an attraction with a brightly colored and fancy atmosphere.
Contrary to its atmosphere, it is a thrilling coaster with many sharp turns.
The 400m long course makes sharp turns from left to right, and the centrifugal force that makes you feel like you're being thrown off the course is thrilling!
It is also a very popular machine that is highly supported by people who love Nagashima Spaland ♫
A popular model that can be enjoyed by everyone from children to adults! Wait times can be over 30 minutes on weekends.
roller coaster ★☆☆
The simply named "Roller Coaster" rides through the forest on a wooden box-shaped coaster. Unlike other roller coasters, you can enjoy the exhilarating feeling of running through nature.
Children as young as 2 years old can ride if accompanied by a guardian of high school age or older, so it is also popular with children who have graduated from the "Children's Coaster" and "Peter Rabbit Coaster" mentioned below.
Because it caters to a wide range of ages and is close to the main gate and restaurants, the wait time can be over 30 minutes on weekends.
By the way, this "roller coaster" is the oldest attraction that has been around since Nagashima Spaland opened in 1966. At that time, Tokaido was in operation, and the train was shaped like a Shinkansen. This is a legendary roller coaster that has seen the history of Nagashima Spaland.

Children coaster ★☆☆
A ladybug-shaped roller coaster that is popular with children. Although it is a simple course, you can still feel the thrill of excitement even if it is small.
I can't tell you how much I cried at this coaster when I was a kid (now that I'm an adult, I'm obsessed with Steel Dragon 2000 and Moby Dick♪).
Like the "roller coaster," this "Children Coaster" can be ridden by children as young as 2 years old if accompanied by a guardian of high school age or older.
Peter Rabbit coaster ★☆☆
As the name suggests, this roller coaster features Nagashima Resort's official character, Peter Rabbit™, and his friends.
Since the speed is low, how about giving your little child a roller coaster debut?
Like the ``Roller Coaster'' and ``Children Coaster'', children as young as 2 years old can ride this as long as they are accompanied by a guardian of high school age or older.
