Tokyo Dome City

This guide to the Thunder Dolphin roller coaster at Tokyo Dome City follows the steel coaster since it opened in 2003, looping through the buildings of the amusement park, threading through a hole cut into the LaQua building and through the spokes of the Big O, the center-less Ferris wheel beside it. It also traces a darker chapter in the ride's history from December 2010. Listen for the moment riders glimpse shoppers through the glass one second and open sky the next.
