US rollercoaster manufacturer S&S-Sansei Technologies (S&S) has installed a 4D free spin coaster at Nagashima Spa Land in Japan.
Arashi, which translates to storm in English, is an eight-seat wing coaster that features 4D technology, sudden drops and magnetic technology to flip riders head-over-heels.
The coaster stands at 120 ft (36.5m) tall and has a 1,019ft (311m) track that includes two sudden drops and six flips. It is designed to give riders a feeling of weightlessness and the sensation of flying.
Gerald Ryan, executive director of Sales and Marketing for S&S, says: “We have had such an amazing response from our 4D free spin coasters currently operating. S&S is confident that riders in Japan will be satisfied with the high thrill this coaster offers.”
S&S installed the world’s first 4D free spin coaster Batman: the Ride at Six Flags Fiesta in Texas back in 2015, and have six, including Arashi, currently operating.
