Jet Coaster (Japanese:ジェットコースター) was a steel roller coaster located at Nango Fisheries Center in Otsu, Shiga, Japan.

The coaster cost 300 JPY to ride.[1]

Operations

As the station was built level, the ride operator (or in some cases a non-rider) would push the train to the lift, this was also to limit the impact when the train caught the lift chain.[1][2]

Design

Elements

May have been the first roller coaster to use beam supports

Trains

Single train with 3 cars. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows, for a total of 12 riders per train.
