The main attraction at Iwayama Parkland is the Pop Spin Coaster. The main difference between this and a regular roller coaster is that the seats are not fixed. It rotates 360 degrees due to the influence of the wind and center of gravity. You may end up making eye contact with the person riding behind you.

Even if you pass through the same point, the scenery will be completely different depending on the direction of your body. This is why so many people ride the Pop Spin coaster over and over again. It looks different every time, so you can enjoy it without getting bored.

Apollo is also a popular attraction.

There are also the standard teacups, go-karts, a large Ferris wheel, and a merry-go-round. Among them, Apollo is a popular attraction. Ride on something like a gondola and rotate. Since it is upside down, it may be difficult for people who are not good at attractions.
