Big Boom is a steel roller coaster located at Nasu Highland Park in Nasu, Nasu, Tochigi, Japan.

Design

Big Boom is the blue coaster in the background of this photo, behind Thunder Coaster and Spinturn Coaster

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.
