History
Milky Way originally opened in 1990 at the International Flower and Green Exposition as Fujin Raijin.
When the exposition ended, it was relocated to Greenland, maintaining the Fujin Raijin name for an unknown amount of time. Shortly after, it was then renamed to Ultra Twin. Later at an unspecified time. In 2007, the ride was renamed to its current name.
Design
Milky Way is a racing roller coaster. One side is pink, the other blue. The pink side is Sit-Down and named Orihime (Japanese: 織姫) and the blue side is Stand-Up and named Hikoboshi (Japanese: 彦星).
Trains
4 trains with 6 cars per train. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows, for a total of 24 riders per train. Originally when it opened, both trains were stand up. However, since then, one side became a sit-down. Thus, rider's have the option of standing up or sitting down.
