The story of Arashi
Arashi opened at Nagashima Spa Land on March 10, 2017, bringing a new steel coaster to the park’s broad collection of rides. The park lists S&S Worldwide as its designer and manufacturer. nagashima-onsen.co.jp
Trade coverage recorded the installation as Asia’s first 4D free-spin coaster. Its eight-seat train carries riders beyond the rail, where the seats may swing and rotate as the course proceeds. spabusiness.com· nagashima-onsen.co.jp
The park explains that Arashi means storm, a fitting name for movement that cannot be predicted from one moment to the next. Open sides, hanging legs and freely turning seats give the ride its distinctive sensation of flight. nagashima-onsen.co.jp
Planning records for the 2017 season listed a throughput of 720 passengers per hour, while a tourism listing gives the construction cost as US$7.13 million. blooloop.com· mie.mytabi.net
