In Okayama in the city of Kurashiki, there is a park called Washuzan Highland and for some reason, it is named Brazilian Park. In this park, in addition to various Brazilian attractions and rides, there is a kind of roller coaster 16 meters high where you pedal a sort of bicycle for 2 people. This attraction is called SkyCycle.
Of course, all of this is at a low speed and without many curves, since the tracks are at the top of a mountain and have no safety measures other than a simple belt. The ride lasts about 3 minutes and you can enjoy the view of the park, the city, and the Seto Inland Sea.
The slogan of the English website of Washuzan Highland says: Enjoy the beautiful view of the sea and the sun surrounded by the rhythm of Samba. Enjoy Brazilian dishes and performances. The park also has several roller coasters, an ice skating rink, and even Bungee Jumping. For details, visit the official website by clicking here.
