A roller coaster that is said to be the fastest accelerating thrill ride in the world has been shut down indefinitely due to rising safety concerns.

Fuji-Q Highland, an amusement park that’s located near Mt. Fuji in the Yamanashi Prefecture of Japan, announced it will halt the operation of its Do-Dodonpa coaster as the company investigates four injuries that come from riders who got on the attraction between December 2020 and August 2021.

While closed to the public, Fuji-Q Highland will conduct a "safety overhaul," according to a press release the park issued in late August.

"Currently, the causal relationship between injuries and amusement machines has not yet been confirmed," the release states. "We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the injured customers and cause a great deal of inconvenience to them, but we will endeavor to investigate the cause under the guidance of the government."

The Do-Dodonpa coaster is an eight-person ride that lasts about a minute long, according to Fuji-Q Highland.

It reaches a max speed of 112 mph in less than two seconds and travels down a 4,081-foot track that’s filled with loops and turns. The roller coaster’s vertical tower reaches a height that’s nearly 174 feet tall.

The roller coaster first opened to the public in 2001 and underwent a renovation in 2016 to replace its top hat and increase its acceleration speed from 107 mph to 112 mph.

American amusement ride manufacturer S&S – Sansei Technologies is credited with building the roller coaster.
