World's Second 4D Coaster Opens in Japan
YAMINASHI, Japan
On July 19th, Six Flags Magic Mountain's X lost its crown of world's only 4th dimension coaster. It has a younger brother, christened "Eejanaika" (pronounced "eh-ja-NIE-kah"), at in Fujiyoshida, Yaminashi. The new ride is taller and faster than X, and has been refined, with trains that weigh less than those on X. There is also a new element called a "Full-Full" in which the train does a heartline roll of sorts (heartlining is technically impossible on a 4D coaster) while the seats do a somersault in perfect sync with the roll.
