^ They were closed down for quite a bit after the accident, but then reopened for a while, and then closed again with hopes to reopen sometime in the future. But it now looks like they have tossed in the towel for good.
Orochi is a pretty good coaster, I have a feeling that it might be better then Raptor (haven't ridden it) since they don't have any brakes at all on the MCBR, which makes the train just fly through the second half.

If its not activated why have a MCBR at all then?
Shame its closing down but they kind of had no choice. The japanese won't visit a place if there has been any sort of accident, let alone a fatal one as bad as this. Thats why Steel Dragon 2000 was SBNO for so long.

Because it's a clone of one that have.spicy said:
The fun thing is Orochi had brakes on it's MCBR at first (you can see them on pictures at RCDB), but when I rode it in 2007 then they had for some reason removed them leaving just a straight piece of track.

It was when their Togo stand up derailed and I think it hit a pole on the break run which killed the women, something like that.
Heres the coaster:

Well Orochi is actually for sale via a 3rd party company, on behalf of Expoland.

^ Too bad that they don't have the Togo Wildstorm on there, I would seriously buy it if I only had the money for it. Since it really kicks ass!!
I think they were doing pretty badly anyway before the accident even happened. I'm not surprised, but was hoping there would be at least some chance of it reopening so I'd get a chance to ride what I missed last time.
Still, at least I managed to ride Daidarasaurus. :roll:
Hopefully, Orochi stays in Japan!
