Pedal Powered Roller Coaster in Japan

I don’t think you would catch me on this Pedal Powered Roller Coaster. Sounds like work if you have to pedal yourself to the top before the ride starts…

“Here is the future of the green amusement park: The Skycycle at Washuzan Highland Park in Okayama, a pedal-powered roller coaster. They clearly have some dramatic topography to take advantage of here, and it looks truly frightening. Most North American amusement parks are on pretty flat terrain but they often build artificial mountains- Demand a green ride like this on the Magic Mountain.”

  1. that kinda looks scary actualy.


  2. nice one!!!

    If you look carefully you’ll see that the bicycle track and the rollercoaster are separate tracks! you can even see a real roller train on one of the photos…

    I guess the bike track is for those who want to frighten themselves while riding!!

    🙂


  3. That’d be cool until you get stuck behind someone moving really slow or stopping to take photos.


  4. I think it would be more fun if the cars were contected by a liink that is light weight but strong enough to keep the the cars together.
