A Hurricane Arrives at Himeji Central Park

[Gutterflower]

Howdy all

just came across these pictures of the new coaster thats just gone up at Himeji Central Park in Japan. (its been sitting in the parking lot for a year)

 

The ride has the wonderfull name of "Hurricane - Screw & Loop Coaster" and moved from the now defunct Ayameike Amusement Park where it was known as "Tornado" (anyone else notice a wind theme trend here?)

 

 

 

I think it looks great with its new paint scheme and i love those togo corkscrew supports.

That thing does actually look half decent! They really turned that ride around after it was sitting in pieces.

This coaster actually looks quite fun! Some weird corkscrew supports though.

The bunny hill at the end kind of scares me, especially with the OTSRs. Looks like a cool little coaster though.
