Panic Coaster - Back!? Daaan!! is a steel launched enclosed roller coaster currently located at Tokyo Dome City in Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan.

Design

Elements

The ride starts off by launching riders forwards into the pitch black building. Once the train completes the layout, it re-enters the station but in the opposite direction, this is made possible by the ride's switch track. Projections are shown on the station walls as the switch track behind the train moves once again. Once this occurs, riders are launched out of the station backwards. On this portion of the ride, joyful music plays and there are many colorful lights that illuminate the building. After the final lap around the course has been complete, the train will re-enter the station facing the right way.

Gerstlauer would repeated this trick on FirleFranz in 2023. The difference being that FirleFranz is outside and features a Vertical rollback instead of just stopping and relaunching in the station.
