Will Japan ever have a wing coaster? Which park would make the best fit for one?

There are better opinions.

Will Japan ever have a wing coaster?

 

Yes, if someone buys it.

Oops, forgot. Guess Eejanaika is one.

^Eejanaika is a 4th dimension coaster and not a Wing Coaster. It has it's seats left and right of the track, but it isn't a wing coaster!

It all depends on exactly what you mean by saying "Wing Coaster". RCDB has confused things somewhat as they have a generic category (which includes 4th Dimension roller coasters, ZacSpins and Furious Baco) called "Wing Coaster" while also listing "Wing Coaster" as a B&M line.

 

This article I found on the internet explains it nice and quickly:

If you're going by RCDB's definition of a wing coaster, well there already is one in Japan. But I'm assuming you mean a B&M wing coaster. I suspect there will be a Wing Coaster in Japan at some point, but that's just a guess.

Somehow I got a feeling that Japanese amusement industry isn't going as well as US and Europe. They are closing more rides than opening rides and most park outside of Universal, Disney, Nagashima Spaland and Fuji-Q haven't gotten any new ride for years. Wing coaster is likely to happen, but since they aren't building a lot of coasters, it might take longer.

Nagashima is getting a B&M flyer this year.
