@jmichael1holmes - Actually, the hill does look and feels a bit different than Hypersonic's. The large tower hill on Dondonpa is more 'spread out'...if that makes sense. Also, the initial trains used on Hypersonic were the same type used on Dondonpa. I can't remember how many different types of trains Hypersonic had but they were different in later years before the coaster was removed.
I usually don't compare rides very often but Dodonpa is far more intense in my opinion. The initial launch was like getting kicked in the gut....in a good way. Going over the top of the tower provided the sickest moment of airtime I have ever gotten. I left the ride shaking. All three of us were totally in awe of this machine.
To put it another way, I would go back to Japan just to visit this park for Dodonpa and the insane haunted walk-through.
2:04 the guy puts his hands up...and they never came back up once he put them down

Thank you Bob! I don't rate coasters but as far as what I like in a ride, this is easily one of my favorite coasters I have ever ridden.

Looks like a good ride. How's it compare to Hypersonic?
Great shots, too!
