Looping Star is a steel roller coaster located at Nagashima Spa Land in Mie, Japan. It is a Looping Star model built by Giorno John in 1982, two years after the park’s Shuttle Loop roller coaster was built. The trains on Looping Star use a single lap bar to hold riders in the seat. This restraint is effective since the centripetal forces from the loop and helices press riders in their seats, and are a common feature on Schwarzkopf’s looping coasters. However, the ride is known to be considerably shaky and rough. The ride originally opened with four trains, but currently operates with only two. The ride has an orange and white paint scheme with blue trains.

Ultra Twister is a pipeline roller coaster located at Nagashima Spa Land in Mie Prefecture, Japan. Built by TOGO, the ride opened to the public in 1989. It was moved from its original location in 1989 to a new location in 2011, which sits further north inside the same park. It is also one of the few Ultratwister models from TOGO still in operation. Ride attendants put the fiberglass shells down to lock in their harnesses. However, on Ultra Twister models, the stations had conveyor belts to allow guests access to a car. This ride opened with seven trains. It currently runs with two, allowing the others to be spare.

Hakugei (白鯨, White Whale) is a steel roller coaster at Nagashima Spa Land in Mie Prefecture, Japan.

It was refurbished by American company Rocky Mountain Construction, which replaced the ride's wooden track with steel track and modified the ride layout, including the addition of three inversions. The renovated ride reopened on March 28, 2019.
