Description

The Family Coaster impressively proves that unforgettable fun doesn’t always require extreme heights and breakneck speeds. As the officially slowest roller coaster in all of Japan, this charming steel roller coaster has become a true cult classic for the whole family. Designed in the endearing shape of a friendly, green worm, the train winds its way along the 140-meter-long track at a leisurely top speed of just 15.3 km/h. This makes the ride the perfect opportunity for the youngest adventurers, ages two and up, to experience their very first roller coaster ride without any fear. After a gentle ascent up the chain lift hill, the ride completes two full laps of the course through gentle curves and undulating hills, bringing happy laughter from the children and relaxed smiles to their parents’ faces. This time-honored ride is the perfect example of a laid-back, heartwarming experience that shows how real thrills can start small and turn the day into a huge adventure for the little ones.
