Ever been to a park that no longer exists?
Space World was one of the coolest (and easily most bizarre) parks I’ve ever been to, but it’s location in Kyushu made it too far for most. Despite that, it housed a 100m+ Ferris wheel, IMAX theatre, Intamin Hydraulic Launch Coaster and another coaster that wrapped around a full scale replica of a SPACE SHUTTLE. 🤯 It also had some moon rocks on display. 🌑

Suffice to say, I miss Space World. #spaceworld #スペースワールド #themeparks

It’s always a good day for dreaming.

An insanely tightly packed ride and @intaminofficial’s first single rail coaster. Is this an @rockymtnconstruction Raptor killer? 🤔

Is the loop the best bit or the launch? 🤔 Or maybe you’re just a Rivals Stan? 🥵
