About Dodonpa

Dodonpa was a launched steel roller coaster at Fuji-Q Highland in Fujiyoshida, Japan. It opened in 2001 and closed in 2016. The ride stood 171 feet tall, dropped 159 feet and reached 107 mph over 3,904 feet of track.

A hydraulic launch coaster once the world's fastest-accelerating coaster, retracked in 2017 with a new top hat tower after its record-breaking launch was toned down for rider safety.

Field note: rebuilt as Do-Dodonpa in 2017.
