Local Preview Rides 'Yanbaru Tornado' at Junglia Okinawa Ahead of April 29 Opening

The park expects the 48-seat thrill ride to help cut wait times by spreading guests.

Overview

  • The resident preview, which ran Monday, let Okinawa locals try the ride before it opens to the public.
  • The attraction spins and tilts like a giant swing, reaches about 20 meters, and turns riders upside down.
  • Guests must be at least 120 centimeters tall, and up to 48 people can ride each cycle.
  • Reporters on site heard loud screams, and a 12-year-old rider said the view was great and the experience was scary but fun.
  • The operator says the high capacity should spread crowds and may support raising the park’s daily attendance cap to about 5,000.
