Anime fans will rejoice at the release of J-World Tokyo's virtual 'Dragon Ball Flying Nimbus' roller coaster.
This indoor amusement park is known for its anime-themed attractions and rides. Anyone who has ever watched the anime series Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z will remember Son Goku's enviable flying nimbus cloud. As the character's main method of transportation (prior to earning the ability to fly), the Flying Nimbus was an enviable aspect of the show.
Now super fans are able to accompany Goku on virtual adventures on his iconic cloud. The virtual Flying Nimbus can accommodate two guests and while it doesn't move, wind and mist accompany the rise to simulate the sensation of movement. On top of that, 3D projections provide more than enough action.
