“At the beginning, we took a design-first approach, working from illustrations and scale models.
However, when it came to the actual fabrication, the structure reached a height of 4 meters,
and it was difficult to fully imagine the final outcome.
Even during production in the factory, it was so large that I felt a bit uneasy.
It wasn’t until we actually installed it on site that I was finally able to feel reassured.
In the end, I’m glad to see that the dramatic elements and photo spots are being enjoyed by visitors.”

“With improvements to the seating, the height requirement has been lowered,
allowing children 110 cm and taller to ride when accompanied by a guardian.
We hope visitors will also take the opportunity to capture a memorable photo at the photo spot near the exit.”

“On the opening day, we welcomed more visitors than expected, and it was a great success.
Starting from March 27, 2026, “Dark Castle” and “Los Banditos” will be offered as permanent titles.
We also regularly plan events such as score ranking competitions, so we hope you will have the chance to visit Kijima Kogen Amusement Park.”
