Rusutsu

And Rusutsu's Mountain Coaster runs through the park's exceptional landscape, so that's a plus.

It's not butter-smooth, but it's okay. Until that one turn, right near the end. You'll know the one. They have to do something about that turn. It'll wake you right up, that turn. And not in a good way.

Mountain Coaster wraps around the Skid Racing go-kart tracks and that name led me to assume there would be much Tokyo Drifting. I erred in that assumption. Go-karts are never a waste of time, though, no sir.

Speaking of mountains, let's head up to the top of West Mountain. This is a shot looking back at the Rusutsu Tower Hotel, still very close to the bottom.

There's Ultra Twister, and Mountain Coaster, and a little bit of Standing Coaster. And a lot of trees.

Now we're at some altitude. What a view.

See what a beautiful place this is? See?
