''TMNT Shellraiser'' is a clone of [[Takabisha]] at [[Fuji-Q Highland]], but with a slightly steeper drop. It begins with a pre-launch section that includes a [[heartline roll]] before going through an [[LSM]] launch that launches from 0-{{Mph|62.1}} in 2 seconds. The second half of the ride begins with a vertical [[chain lift]] hill and a beyond vertical drop at an angle of 121.5 degrees, the steepest drop in the world.

The roller coaster is intertwined with [[Shredder]], a [[Gerstlauer]] [[spinning roller coaster]].
