Suzuka Circuit
Suzuka, Mie, Japan

Soichiro Honda, founder of Honda Motors, decided to open a permanent test track for Honda cars and motorcycles in the Mie prefecture.  Situated between Kyoto and Nagoya, the track opened in 1962.  The Grand Prix circuit is now 5.8 kilometers (3.6 miles) long, features eighteen turns, and has hosted many races including Formula One and a wide variety of motorcycle events.  After the track opened, the area to its north was developed, and a camp and amusement park were added.

Two coasters have left the park:

• Blackout (1995-2007) was a Vekoma Suspended Looping Coaster.  Since December 2008, it has operated as Firewhip at Beto Carrero World in Brazil.
• Mad Cobra (1998-2003) was a LIM-launched Mad Cobra model from Premier Rides.  From 2006 to 2016, it operated as Crazy Cobra at Discoveryland in China.  After sitting dormant for two years, it was removed in 2018.
