The next coaster we were going to ride was going to be this thing. But it's obviously seen better days and it was closed. Shame. :(

As you can see, the park is just waiting on a shipment of Rustoleum, and then it will re-open.

The next ride of the park was the giant staircase of hot death ride.

"Welcome to Washuzan Highland, where you have to climb about FOUR THOUSANDS STAIRS to get to the next coaster." (I'm honestly not joking at all!!!)

About half-way up now. If this coaster isn't running I'm going to stab someone in the eye with a hot poker!

On a side note, it is Japanese law that every Japan amusement park must have a GIANT ferris wheel.

Hooray! This Jet Coaster thingy was actually running!

It looks a little sketchy, but it made it back to the station ok.

There's our seats!

This is got to be the most "Um, do I HAVE to ride this sketchy thing" look I've ever seen!

At least the view was amazing!

Honestly, this ride was kind of a lot of fun! Here's a POV of it...

After we were done with the sketchy but not that sketchy Jet Coaster, we heard a noise....

OMG! The Togo Looper full of rust is actually... OPEN! But wait, something doesn't seem quite right...

OMG! THE TRAIN IS BACKWARDS!!! WE ARE GOING TO RIDE A TOGO LOOPING DEATH MACHINE...BACKWARDS!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!!

There is goes down the drop... BACKWARDS!

There is goes through the "PLEASE PAINT ME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD" loop... BACKWARDS!!!

And there it goes up an airtime hill...BACKWARDS!!!!

There are some things that should NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN! And turning a Togo Death Machine backwards is one of them!

Here's the even more screwed up part... it didn't suck!!!! Check out this POV video...
