Fuji-Q Highland, a Japanese amusement park, just added a very special new attraction: the world’s steepest roller coaster. Called Takabisha, it accelerates to 100 km/h, has a 43m drop and a 121-degree freefall.
The Japanese roller coaster beat the former record holder, the Le Timber Drop in France, which measures “just” 113.1 degrees.
Fuji Q Highland invested $37 million in the development of the Takabisha. One ride takes 112 seconds and costs $12.50.
