Nope, not SD2k either. KEYWORD: Operating. SD has been SBNO ever since the accident

Nope.

Remember, I built a Hopkins style coaster not too long ago, and did a fair bit of research for that project.

Okay, I'll give a hint.

This ride has not at any time held a height record.

they have, the damn japanesse people though wont allow the coaster to operate for some reason.


real shame too, they'd get alot more business from americans and europeans if SD2K was open. its pretty pointless then to go to japan if the ride aint open. though TD @ la qua is still open...

yes actually i do. something tells me this is a coaster that is like a mine train coaster with a 1000 foot lift that goes up only like 70 feet. oh well.

Dragon Mountain. Total lift height of 186ft, at a fairly shallow angle (like 20-25 degrees).

well titan has a shallow angle too you know. im pretty sure titan be longer. B&M's arent at 45*, more like 30*

it be close if we were to figure it out.

Highly doubtful. Dragon Mountain's is LONG. So long it actually has two chains, and the train switches halfway up, so there can be two trains on the lift at once.

Here are some pics:

Nearer the top:

This shows how far it goes past the "shack".

Here (top left corner) it finally crests about 30ft above the ridge.

Still think Titan is longer? (Actually, you're mine train comment isn't THAT far off. DM is basically a looping Mine Train)
