Japan Times: Fastest roller coaster a study in G-force

Published by Colin on 21st December 2001.

The Dodon-pa rollercoaster just opened in Japan, it accelerates from 0 to 172 kph in just 1.8 seconds and hits 3.2 Gs. It’s the fastest in the world. I need to make a trip to Japan, Steel Dragon is worth a visit too over there. Here’s the park’s homepage. (thanks Olivier)
