Steel Dragon 2000 POV World's Longest Roller Coaster Nagashima Spaland Japan

[@vfxswagg1337]

That lift hill sure does give you enough time to rethink your life.

[@Dimaz42]

Bye, I'll see you guys in the next life.. 😁😁

[@jg-7780]

Fun fact, this is the second most expensive roller coasters in the world, at around 52 million USD. This is due to a combination of it's sheer length, as well as that fact that extra steel was required to make it earthquake resistant. The only roller coaster more expensive is Expedition Everest, which cost 100 million USD.

[@energix479]

JG-77 wow, thanks for providing us with that information :)

[@Smurfman256]

That said, this ride doesn't have an entire freaking mountain built over it or a 20 foot tall yeti animatronic that broke after 6 months because it caused the concrete beneath it to crack and would require literally tearing the whole ride apart to get it safely functioning again.

[@KingEmiya2023]

Yeh but if losses its speed on the bunny hills

[@ThePaulv12]

Fun fact 2, It seems a bit boring and attendances might indicate same. I don't think they're getting much return on it anymore. I played roller coaster tycoon and watched the south park cartman theme park episode so that now makes an expert. I'll send my CV to this theme park and tell them i want $10,000,000 per annum.

[@makucha.]

Just stop trying

[@1ZosoLZ]

I'd be scared as hell if I saw a maintenance worker on my ride. woulda thought I was about to die

[@simonmcsweyn5327]

In Japan, maintenance and safety is taken very serious. I have never felt safer in any other country I have ever been. But your point is still valid, just in context, it brings me comfort.

[@TheEmerilla]

Everyone saying its boring....its basically dropping vertically a hundred metres then shooting up then shooting back down at over 100km an hour then that tunnel hill part feels like you're literally no longer on the tracks. Don't judge a ride by a video.

[@frederickschiller2185]

Seems legit

[@bosnian.artillery]

Thought same about Shambhala and when I got to ride it, boy I was wrong. It's so fast and I felt like I was floating whole time. Dragon Khan in the other hand, which looked more thrilling with its inversions was roughest ride and it was so boring. My neck was in pain whole afternoon after that

[@graysonwood9987]

Sure it would be fun, but it's still incredible basic and bland. Just a scaled up b&m hyper made by a worse company. I guarantee a standard B&M hyper would be a better ride than this. Magnum XL-200 is tall and fast, but unless its a good day on the right seat, its a rough, airtimeless ride. Besides, a ride can be tall and fast but still be AWFUL. Take Desperado for example.

[@Ingestedbanjo]

The bit after the MCBR looks fun, if the hills are fast enough to give airtime... The drop looks alright. The first hill and the endless turns (not even overbanked turns) look pointless though.

[@ThePaulv12]

Fair enough. I guess you have to be there.

[@SFAPowerhouse]

Seriously, this looks like one of the best-designed, non-inversion steel coasters out there! So smooth, epic drops and thrilling turns. Looks like a great time!

[@TWD98]

only coaster I've been on in Japan was Thunder Dolphin and I loved it =)

[@MatthiasEdits]

yooo rare twd coaster enthusiast comment 🤩

[@beatpeitsi6853]

Thunder Dolphin is great. Even if it is not the largest, longest or wildest rollercoaster ever, it does have a very nice surrounding view of Tokyo, and it jumps through a hoop-

[@WaterSlideLover98]

I was watching this at school and someone said "Hey that's Steel Force I went on that!"

[@ts4gv]

2:38 has got to be one of the coolest things one can see on a coaster it's a shame the designers didn't get more creative with elements!

[@xtlm]

It's a very nice sight! Another one that looks really cool IMO is right as you are starting to drop into the Twister at Knoebels. All that intertwined wooden track is a very underrated view!

[@SueJackson0]

Man!! Japan's got the best rollercoasters! That looks super cool!

[@bonesmalone5802]

Seems a bit underwhelming tbh. yeah that drop looks fantastic, but the rest just kind of meanders around, going through small hills and turns.

[@alexstvckey1127]

[@zarajenkins6948]

Exactly what I was thinking and it reminded me of the Pepsi Max at BPB

[@MrMichelNL]

The heck was that guy doing on top of the catwalk?

[@thhb1]

Prob was his day off but he still showed up just to chill a the top.

[@pizzasubs]

That was probably his job for the 8 hours, Wave to everybody as they go pas, in a way, I wouldnt mind having that job, only thing I would want to be able to stand at the very top of the climb, so I could watch all the people go down the first drop, and get a great view of whatever else is around.....LOL

[@raaaaaaaaaam496]

[@StrawberrySurpise]

One time when I was 11 or 12 I had to grip on to my mom as we rode the tower of terror (in disney world) because my seat belt was too loose.... I've ridden it 3 or 4 times since then and I've been fine but always make sure your belt is fastened tightly when riding rides. ALWAYS

[@BandBHawks]

This ride has such an amazing name. It also reminds me a lot of Magnum XL-200. But 2 chains in a lift hill? Good God.

[@julianburkert7939]

You mean worse? :P

[@BillybobJoelikestrains]

Yeah, XD!

[@jimmykonet3]

you mean more of an attempt to keep a world record than it is a roller coaster compared to the magnum?

[@Legendarylegend10101]

CooperSlyKing I thought it seemed like a bigger and badder version of steel force at dorney park.

[@7yearoldskater]

Michael Paolella Agreed. Same companies, and a more similar layout. Not many people realize that Magnum XL-200 is an Arrow Dynamics rollercoaster. But that's just Cedar Point fanboys for you.

[@TheVenetiadelacruz]

2:59 hey you, you're finally awake

[@ImAlwaysHere1]

Finally went to Japan and completed all of the gigas. I personally liked this coaster. It had a little rough looseness that made it feel out of control, but I didn't find it painful. It may be my third favorite giga, after Fury and MF. Unfortunately, I did not get to try Dodonpa at Fuji Q , as it was down the day I went to Mt Fuji, nor Thunder Dolphin at Tokyo Dome, as it was down for lengthy maintenance until July first of this year.

[@cmeride79]

Morgan Drake eh. At the end of the day, its still a rollercoaster. Its fun.

[@trainsmusicandmore877]

Morgan Drake bruh

[@derekp308]

I've been on this coaster on my Japan vacation last year, with the B&M trains. The best coaster in Japan in my opinion. And on the subject of Mogan's hypercoasters, they not only built Dorney Park's Steel Force, but also Desperado in Prim, Nevada, Mamba at Worlds of Fun, and Wild Thing at Valley Fair. Morgan also had plans to build an even larger coaster in Germany but the plans fell through.

[@mikethewhizz5085]

It's like if Millennium Force and Magnum XL 200 had a giant baby

[@treseoreilly1953]

This one has a really long lift hill.

[@swickzy9250]

watertakken it’s a giga. With a chain lift instead of a cable lift.

[@roller_47]

I find it funny that practically all Japanese coasters have catwalks along the entire track instead of just the lift hill and brake runs.

[@AnimalzyCo]

Although this coaster isnt perfect or whatever, i like that it provides such a lomg ride time, you would never get that in a b&m/intamin/vekoma...

[@Jackrabbit7]

THE PHANTOM This ride was made in the 2000s and it's the worlds longest roller coaster

[@amselby81]

They call this style a hyper coaster b/c of the speed and height. Lots of air time. Much smoother than looping coasters. The U.S. has similar coasters, like Millennium Force at Cedar Point, Apollo's Chariot at Bush Gardens, and Goliath at Six Flags over GA.

I think I'm hard to please when it comes to roller coasters. This one looked really fun to ride and the drops look sensational, but basically that's all it is - up and down, up and down, make a turn, go up again, etc...... I love the loops, the corkscrew turns and going high up. Of course if I had a chance to ride this I certainly wouldn't turn it down and would probably ride it more than once or twice. :)

[@WIllyGilly321]

EXCELLENT CAMERA WORK! Great job on one of the cleanest, smoothest, highest tube coaster I have seen. Looks like a new park, just being built. I noticed they had guards at the top of hill one to keep people from getting out to enjoy the view. My only advise to the camera person would be to pan around at the top of hill 1 to show the view instead of being locked into looking forward. Great Job!

[@connormudge8592]

Ive been on this my sis lived in japan and when we went to visit. We went here best time ever

[@Bikelifeyouheard]

Because there is a very large lift hill present on the ride, they used two lift chains on the ride. One was used for the bottom half of the hill and one for the top half because one large chain would be stretched out and too weak to support the train. If one chain was used, this would result in a painfully longer lift time, so if you thinks it's slow now you wouldn't want to see it with just one chain.
