Big Boom is a steel roller coaster located at Nasu Highland Park in Nasu, Nasu, Tochigi, Japan.
Design
Blue track with white supports. It has a sharp drop of 75 degrees at the beginning and features a single vertical loop.
It uses Friction wheels on a sloped drop to bring the ride to an almost complete stop into the station.
Trains
Single train with 6 cars. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows, for a total of 24 riders per train.
Ride experience
Riders begin their ride by climbing a very slow Chain lift. After the sluggish ascent, riders take a straight track into a large U-turn that leads into a S-Bend with a short straight track in the middle. Then riders plunge down the very steep first drop. Then the ride glides through a camelback, and then it traverses a small Vertical loop. Then it rises up into another S-bend with a straight track in the middle. It then turns around into a slope downward with Friction wheels bringing the ride to a slow speed, and it enters back into the station.
