The story of The Flying Dinosaur
Universal Studios Japan commissioned the ride from Bolliger & Mabillard as a major new flying coaster, with an announced investment of US$83.4 million. It was planned for the park’s anniversary season and represented a considerable piece of modern amusement engineering. attractionsmanagement.com· prtimes.jp
The Flying Dinosaur opened in 2016, rising forty-six metres and reaching 99.8 kilometres per hour. Its completed course sends passengers through five inversions, a sequence that established the ride as one of Universal Studios Japan’s principal steel attractions. coasterpedia.net· prtimes.jp
The finished attraction was presented to invited visitors at a press preview before its public opening. Today, Bolliger & Mabillard’s own catalogue continues to identify The Flying Dinosaur as a 2016 Flying Coaster at Universal Studios Japan. prtimes.jp· bolliger-mabillard.com
