World’s First DRIFT COASTER in JAPAN?! 🇯🇵 Experience Suzuka Circuit and the Amusement Park!

World’s First DRIFT COASTER in JAPAN?! 🇯🇵 Experience Suzuka Circuit and the Amusement Park!

Look at this. Let’s see what happens. Whoa. Oh, that’s awesome. [Music] What’s up everybody? It is a rainy morning here in Japan. We are at a Formula 1 track called Suzuka Circuit. Many of you have probably seen this in movies and other places. We are here for the amusement park, also aptly named Suzuka Circuit. They have quite a few coasters here and it’s right next to the famous Formula 1 track. The rain’s coming down and so we’re going to try and get the credits here while we can. I believe there is seven. So, we’re just going to run around the park. I’ll show you what they got. Hopefully, this rain doesn’t kill our attractions. First up, guys, we found our first ride. We are doing Adventure Drive. Adventure Drive is one of the roller coasters here. And fun fact, the louder you scream, the more powerful the launch is. Isn’t that weird? Check it out. How cool the cars are. Are you ready? I’m excited for this. The louder you swing, the faster you go. Whoa. All right. Well, that was an interesting start. Oh, it’s so pretty. Oh, nice. Who’s responsible for this contraption? I want to steal you. Sweet. All right, coming around. So, this is our second time riding this. Check it out. There’s like a little trick track here. Look at this. It’s so goofy. I love it. Oh. But yeah, we scream on this and we go faster. So, let’s go, Jack. I guess now. I love that. Oh my gosh. So janky. I love it. [Music] And the final brakes. Adventure Drive was weird. Had some cool like Islander Mayan theming. And then it was almost like a minecart launch coaster. Like I don’t know how else to explain it. Super bizarre, but really fun actually. Some janky transitions, no doubt. That was so odd. I don’t know if I liked it or not. It was weird. Yeah, very weird. Next up is Rocky Coaster. Rocky Coaster is a fairly old ride that was built by Seno Kagio. Nothing too special with this one other than it’s just kind of unique. It’s doesn’t have any crazy stats, nothing that fancy. Of course, we’ll give it a go. Let’s do it. Oh, dude, this is kind of steep. I taste a tornado. Whoa. Oh my god. Oh boy. Oh. Whoa. Okay. This This is so weird. Oh, wa. I don’t even know what I think of Rocky Coaster. It’s like I don’t know. I can’t even explain it. It’s really rough. It’s not that fun to be honest with you. It was just weird. It was just weird. Kind of uncomfortable. Yeah, low key. It has over the shoulder restraints. For a ride of this size, it doesn’t really make sense to me, but it was fun. And shout out to the ride operators cuz they were pretty cool. All right, so Jack and I just picked our next attraction, GP Racers. It’s a motorbike coaster, and it’s a racing coaster like it says in the name. You actually have to go under this bridge which goes to the F1 track. The amusement park’s over here and then it looks like they’ve built a couple of the rides next to the track. This will be as close as we’re getting so far to the actual racing part of this place which is super cool. I wouldn’t call myself an F1 fan. I’ve definitely seen the Netflix series and I just watched the new movie with Brad Pitt. This place was actually in that movie and a lot of media. Really, really gnarly to see this in person actually. But yeah, let’s go. Let’s go find uh GP Racers. There it is. 0m minute wait time. Awesome. Here it is, guys. Like little motorbikes. So awesome. We’re racing. Oh, come on. Whoa. It’s got some force. Oh, I think we’re winning. I think we won. Woo! Yeah, we won. Oh, nice. GP Racers was kind of cool. It wasn’t like my favorite thing in the world, but you know what? It had some good forces, really good views, and the racing aspect’s really fun. So, as far as like motorbike style coasters go, that’s definitely uh up there for me. That was cool. What’ you think? I really liked it. It’s cool, right? Yeah, I thought it was great. I thought I thought it was fun. I thought it was cool. It was cool. All right, we got the other side of uh GP Racers, but check it out. This is the F1 track. This is crazy to see in person. I don’t believe these are F1 cars, and I I’m actually pretty much positive. They have cars out on the track. I mean, that’s cool enough for me. This is super rad. There’s still some more credits in this park. We’re going to go get them all, but I thought you guys would be interested in seeing this cuz F1’s freaking cool. Now that we rode GB Racers and saw the F1 cars, there’s two more credits in this area that are kind of unique. This is called GP Duel. This is the world’s first drifting coaster, and I believe it’s a one-off ride. There’s nothing else like this. It doesn’t appear to be a coaster at first, but if you actually look underneath uh the facade they built to make the illusion, there is coaster track there. Oh, this looks so cool. That is so cool. Wow. Awesome. Line starting line. Got the boys. Oh, yes. Let’s do it. And we have this wheel so you can control your rotation. Wa! Oh, it’s awesome. Wa! Oh! It’s so cool. Yo! Oh! Oh my gosh! Woo! All right, drifted into the turns. Let’s see what happens. Wa! Oh, that’s awesome. Oh no, we’re wiping out. I get it. That’s such a unique design. Holy crap. Woo! Oh yeah. Oh, they’re in the lead. How do they get in the lead? Whoa. Oh, that’s awesome. Oh, we’re speeding up. Oh, yes. So, I think there is actually strategy involved. Can’t take the lead into the turns, but it’s difficult cuz you can easily wipe out on this. Very cool ride. [Music] I uh used to drift uh cars in high school. That totally controls it. I mean, that’s really fun to spin that wheel around. We’re going to go back again and do it cuz there’s another side. Got to get both credits cuz we’re coaster fiends. The drift thing is so fun. I don’t even know why. It’s just so fun. Over by Adventure Land, they have this uh I think it’s a dark ride, maybe. I don’t know. Jack and I left our stuff over in a locker there. And there is another coaster here we got to go get real fast. There’s this wheel. Dude, there’s still so there’s so much in this park, surprisingly. Yeah. And it’s a really cool park. They got uh motorbikers, speed bikers, I don’t know what the heck it’s called, but it’s cool. Next up is the last coaster here. Not Rocky Coaster. The one behind it, a little snail. It’s not much of a coaster, guys. I’ll show you what I can. We didn’t know that Rocky Coaster has backwards seats in the back cars. We’ll do that after. There it is. Dun Dun Mushi. What a weird little ride. I have no idea what this thing is, but we picked music. This is the ride. Oh, there it goes. Like, what the heck? It’s kind of cool. Hey, I kind of like it. There’s Rocky Coaster. So random. And for those wondering if this is a credit, this would be the section that maybe makes it a credit. Woo! You decide. Some cool little theming in here. Hey, hello garden. Kind of cool, huh? It’s fun. It was a little long for my my taste, but yeah. Agreed. That was weird. Something you will not find in America are these little cool parks that kids can play on. is not approved. What are you doing up there? Not approved in America here. What are you doing on that? This park has surprisingly good theming for no reason. It’s really funny. Back to you cars. Fully backwards. That is hilarious. Let’s give it a try. Let’s do this backwards. That was fun. You get some like stomach dropping feelings over like the little drops and you don’t know where you’re going. I enjoyed it. Kind of weird. Like really weird, actually. All right, guys. The dark ride. B’s power crystal hunt. The boys just told me this is horrible. I got to try it. I got to try it. The queue’s not bad. How could it be that bad? I don’t know. This looks cool. This looks fine. I don’t know. I just put a dog in on it. It looks all right. Let’s try it. They got some uh laser pointers. Oh, they got some real uh Oh, there’s our lasers. Hey, this cool volcano. It’s actually kind of uh not bad. They got a little volcano here. I don’t mind it. I think it’s kind of cool. Not a bad game. Little short, but you know what? Kind of cool. I don’t know why you guys hate it so much. I thought it was fun. Yeah, I thought it was fun. It’s good little ride. It’s cool and decent. Sorry, quick stop change. On the way to the Ferrisville, we found this racing gallery that they have here. So, we’re going to go check it out real quick. Oh my goodness, guys. Look at this. This is so cool. That is awesome. Look at all these cars. Wow. There’s a McLaren over there. We got a Red Bull car. I’m sure these were obviously used in rail races. That’s pretty fantastic. Here’s the wheel. I hear cars in the track. Maybe we can see them. Look at these views from the wheel. You can see the cars over here. There’s one coming right now. I don’t know if they’re just practicing or been qualifying. There’s some small race or something, but still cool. All the cars are slowing down, but you can see like the whole track now from up here. Our ferris wheel actually shows you the layout. Kind of cool. The course guide. So rad. Well guys, that was cool on the wheel. I am going to probably finish out this vlog right now. They had seven roller coasters here if you want to count all seven as roller coasters. All were super fun. Nothing was elite. It was just really fun. The best part for me was seeing cars go around the Suzuka circuit track. I mean, that was wild to see. Place was super cool. I loved it. Awesome place. Love seeing the cars go around the track. Real F1 track is amazing. We’re going to head to our hotel tomorrow. Shima Spain Village. Pretty remote park, but nonetheless a very famous one. We’ll see you there. [Music]
