thunder dolphin ![]() thunder dolphin, or city coaster, is the name for the first roller coaster in the middle of tokyo. 1000m of it winds through the entertainment complex laqua. the carts race at a maximum speed of 130km/h. at a height of 80m and an 80-degree tilt, even the bravest roller coaster freak gets a bit queasy. a photo for the screaming dolphin-victim is available to buy after the ride. beginners can practise on a smaller ride before trying the big one. the neighbouring ferris wheel makes for a more relaxing view of tokyo. thunder dolphin is the main attraction at the laqua centre, which also offers a beauty spa, a fitness club, various other rides, a water slide, a water-light show, shops and cafés. all attractions are open daily from 11.00-21.00. the thunder dolphin does not run if it is raining. this is not for safety reasons, but simply because it hurts too much to be hit by the rain at high speed. ![]() ![]() tokyo dome city COMMENTS Your voice on thunder dolphin

"Towa really doesn't like interviews - and suggested to do the interview with his robot instead. It was a great idea, so we took his lookalike-robot for a taxi ride to our location. His plastic twin unfortunately doesn't move or speak yet though - but Towa promised he will tackle that challenge in the future too. "

"Cornelius is an amazing guy. And his studio might as well be a museum - full with figures and toys he picks up from Japanese toys stores that make the strangest sounds... and might end up in another track. If you listen carefully,m there are a bunch of unusual sounds on his track that came from toys. "
