𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲.
Hakugei (you pronounce it as Haku-gei) (白鯨, White Whale) is a steel roller coaster at Nagashima Spa Land in Mie Prefecture, Japan. It was originally a wooden roller coaster known as White Cyclone (ホワイトサイクロン, Howaito Saikuron) manufactured by Swiss company Intamin that operated from 1994 to 2018. It was refurbished by American company Rocky Mountain Construction, which replaced the ride's wooden track with a steel track and modified the ride layout, including the addition of three inversions. The renovated ride reopened on March 28, 2019.
Before White Cyclone's construction in 1994, there had been only one wooden roller coaster ever built in Japan. This roller coaster, Jupiter, opened in 1992. Another wooden coaster, White Canyon, opened in 1994. The same year as White Cyclone. In 2013, the roller coasters Jupiter and White Cyclone were two of only four operating wooden roller coasters in Japan, and of only thirteen operating wooden roller coasters in Asia.
Hakugei:
Rocky Mountain Construction refurbished the roller coaster using its patented I-Box Track technology. The ride's height and speed were increased and three inversions were added to the layout. The refurbished ride reopened as White Whale (白鯨, Hakugei) on March 28, 2019.
