It was called the Super Tornado, I believe a Senyo built flat ride. Here's a shot of it operating at the Asian Pacific Expo in Fukuoka in 1989 and you can see some of the cars partway up the arms.

Ive done a ton of work on this today and found some ridiculous stuff but heres an image of Ultra Twister before it made it to Rusutsu

When it all comes crumbling down maybe Merlin can install falcon off the white cliffs of Dover.

Pretty good pre creation Looks..... Well bloody massive.

The Meisho built "Mountain Coaster" doesnt appear to have come from anywhere else either. Although there was an expo with a coaster the year before that I've not dug up any pictures of yet so who knows. Right lets do a few more International Science and Technology Exhibition - 1985 - Tsukuba A...

I do wonder if this is a response to the current geopolitical situation. Western manafactured rides can't be imported into Russia at the moment. And I assume russian rides can't be exported to most of the rest of the world. Giving pax pretty much carte blanche as the only major coaster...

Going mad. I knew that. Was because my research notes had Nagashima Spaland written directly under it :oops:

Japan has an interesting history of hosting huge world and local expositions over the years. Many of which hosted small amusement parks with coasters. It's something we did in the UK way back at the start of the 20th century with numerous Scenic Railway type rides going from those Expos to...

Looks like those huge racing roll inversions are complete

This is an interesting one A fairly large park with a history I somehow missed. And I love that. This is a (Semi) terrain coaster called Jet Shooter that was at Tokyo's Yomiuriland known now for the Togo coaster Bandit. The ride had the lift hill at the end which itself is unusual. A bit more...

If Jinma did that shaping we'd rip them to shreds. Or perhaps they were ahead of the game.

What makes this sad is that if a UK park built a ride like this they'd just build the first half up until the 3rd launch and be done with it. None of the going the extra mile. And if they did it would still be one of the best if not the best family coaster in the country

This bit looks lift hilly to me

It's Merlin so I'm looking forwards to I-Thunderbird or Thunderbird sponsored by Burberry

All coming along nicely More here: https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/powiat-gryficki-park-rozrywki-hossoland.2374102/page-4#post-183512291

SFMM and SFGAdv are the coaster capitals but god are they soulless dumps, SFFT takes it by a country mile.

This still from that teaser has so much intrigue

Coaster looks like another of vekomas 247m roller skaters (see Frida at energylandia) that keep popping up. Bear looks like Winnie The Pooh after he won the lottery

One of the earliest Jinma mine trains, Monte Carlo Race Track at Happy Valley Wuhan has completed a retheme (https://rcdb.com/10078.htm) The original theme was a weird truck/race course theme. And in my experience riding it back in 2014 it was one of the duller of the Vekoma/Vekomalike mine...

Think Mack beat you to it there
