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.
