LaQua Amusement Park
(known as Korakuen Park until 2003)
Tokyo, Japan
Downtown Tokyo has its own amusement park located adjacent to the Tokyo Dome, a large baseball stadium. LaQua (pronounced "La-CUE-ah") is small but contains many unique attractions. A 260-foot tall coaster named Thunder Dolphin from Intamin opened in 2003. Its track passes over a large office building and through the center of the world's first hubless, spokeless Ferris Wheel. The wheel was also built by Intamin.
Three coasters have left the park:
Boomerang (1980-1984) was an Arrow shuttle loop. It might have been known by other names.
Jet Coaster (1955-2000) was a small Togo coaster.
Ultra Twister (1985-1997) was a Togo heartline coaster.
