The story of Elf
Elf opened at Hirakata Park in March 2001, bringing an Intamin wooden coaster to the park’s grounds in Hirakata, Osaka. coasterpedia.net· de.wikipedia.org
Its chain lift carries visitors into a compact wooden course, where the closely placed supports form much of the ride’s character and sense of occasion. coasterpedia.net· hirakatapark.co.jp
The park continues to present Elf as one of its notable attractions, drawing attention to the speed, the pronounced side-to-side motion, and the apparent closeness of the pillars. hirakatapark.co.jp
For the travelling visitor, Elf remains a modestly scaled but carefully appointed wooden coaster, preserving its place among Hirakata Park’s operating rides. coasterpedia.net
