Day 26 of the CoasterMaynia challenge. Today’s coaster is... Thunder Dolphin!

Have you ever been to Tokyo Dome City? Have you played the roller coaster there? For the first time in my life, I had my roller coaster experience there! The roller coaster is called “Thunder Dolphin”, and it was very scary. I tried to open my eyes every time, but it didn’t work. I sometimes closed them by reflex. My friend, who is used to ride on various roller coasters, admitted that Thunder Dolphin is one of the scariest roller coaster in Japan. Not only extremely fast, the rail is also located pretty high so it increases the frightfulness. After the ride ended, my entire body was trembling and I could barely feel my hands. I had to hold onto my friend to walk down the stairs for a few minutes….. but after that, we just laughed it off! It was a such contradicting experience: horrific yet fun and addictive. To people who want to challenge themselves in riding these kinds of attractions, I recommend you “Thunder Dolphin”! It’s very worth it.
