White Canyon (roller Coaster)
White Canyon ( ja, ホワイトキャニオン) was a wooden roller coaster located at Yomiuriland near Inagi, Tokyo, Japan. It was one of the first wooden roller coasters in Japan, and one of the largest Cyclone-style roller coasters in the world. History and construction Before White Canyon's construction in 1994, there was only one wooden roller coaster, Jupiter (built in 1992), which had ever been built in Japan. This was largely due to strict, earthquake-related building codes which restricted the height of wooden structures in Japan. White Canyon was built as a collaboration of Roller Coaster Corporation of America, TOGO, D. H. Morgan Manufacturing, and John Pierce Associates. The coaster was built with 2,360 cubic meters (one million board feet) of southern yellow pine and the construction involved extensive prefabrication in the United States before the components were shipped for final assembly at Yomiuriland.

In 1982, TOGO opened the ''Dangai'' coaster (then known as the ''Mary Dolphin'') at the now-defunct Thrill Valley park in Gotemba, Shizuoka (which at the time went by the name Odakyu Gotemba Family Land). The coaster quickly incorporated a set of Togo's then-prototype stand-up trains, and that same year Yormuiriland also bought a standup train for the Standing and Loop Coaster. Since then, the roller coaster simultaneously operated both a standup and sit-down train with a modified slidin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
