Thunder Dolphin

The roller coaster “Thunder Dolphin” is the most appealing attraction among the Tokyo Dome City Attractions at the Tokyo Dome City.
To see going through a hole on LaQua Building and a Ferris wheel “Big-O” is extremely thrilling.

“Thunder Dolphin” plan was started with the project team’s idea and passion to make a roller coaster going through center of a Ferris wheel. So this idea ended up giving birth to “Big-O” too which is the world largest centerless Ferris wheel at 60 meters in diameter.

The roller coaster is slowly going up 45 degrees ramp up to 80 meters high, and running down the slope at the most 80 degrees. Then, it’s running through the roof and the hole of LaQua Building, also the center of “Big-O.” It is quite a breathless ride. The fastest speed comes at the straight after going through the center of “Big-O” second time. Also, TOKYO SKYTREE can be seen right at the front.

Feel the wind by riding coaster the fastest speed 130km/h at the center of the Tokyo, would be extremely exciting.
Please try the fastest and the highest attraction in Tokyo.

Former Korakuen Amusement park opened in 1955. “Thunder Dolphin” was installed along the renewal in 2003. The sight where it’s going through LaQua building has become the landmark of the Bunkyo area.
