Two models of attractions "Tornado" and "Wave Swinger" in the amusement park will be closed on September 25 this year.
We are pleased to announce that we have decided to start building a new swimming pool for the opening in the summer of 2024.

In this plan, we removed two outdoor amusement park attractions "Tornado" and "Wave Swinger", and in addition to building a new pools with adventurous specifications not found in existing pools, we will also improve the surrounding environment, and We are planning to develop it as an elaborate area that generations can enjoy.

"Tornado" is a roller coaster type attraction, and "Wave Swinger" is a popular attraction in both rotating swings with 360-degree views, and the outdoor amusement park "Thrill Mountain" in 1986. -Since then, it has been familiar to many customers, but with this plan, the outdoor pool area including Japan's largest flowing pool (Great Journey) has been further expanded, and a new sensation pool where you can have an exciting experience. You can enjoy a new adventure surrounded by nature. Please look forward to it.

※In addition, with the closure of the "Tornado" and "Wave Swinger" which have been popular for many years, we are planning to carry out a "Thank you campaign" to express our gratitude.

So they're replacing it with more water park. Alright then

EDIT: Also that's their only cred and from a quick glance there's only a ferris wheel aside from the two closing rides?

The Water park has been slowly taking over the rides park over the years. The ratio of the ourdoor park (Theres a big indoor water park too) used to be probably about 75/25 Ride Park/Water Park but when the Arrow Suspended closed in 2005 the park expanded the water park into its spot making it a nearer 50/50 split.

Seems now they are removing the wave swinger and the last remaining coaster (Of an original 4) the water park will be taking over a bit more and we will be almost a 25/75 split.

The ride park does still have some remaining flat rides like the Ferris wheel, a pirate ship, rocking tug and one of those jumping flats. Most painful of all they have a SBNO Gen 1 Intamin Freefall just sat there.

Its always been a very small park and I think the writings been on the wall for the ride park for some time as they slowly transition to full water park only.

"Monster Stream" adventure river probably going to serve as the replacement in Summer 2024. The waterpark one-ups the amusement park yet again;
