Shuttle Loop is a steel launched Shuttle Loop roller coaster manufactured by Anton Schwarzkopf in Nagashima Spa Land in Japan. It is one of six Shuttle Loop roller coasters still operating in the world.

Ride experience

The ride takes off and goes through a loop. It then goes up a hill, loses momentum, and goes backwards through the loop. It goes past the station to another hill. It then loses speed and goes back to the station and ends. The complete ride is about 30 seconds.^[2]
