Ridiculous Roller Coaster of the Day
Jul. 9, 2011
Ridiculous Roller Coaster of the Day: Opening this month at the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park near Mount Fuji, the Takabisha roller coaster boasts the world’s steepest freefall: A gut-melting 121 degrees capable of inducing g-force levels equivalent to those experienced by fighter pilots.

SNL JPN‘s live format is mostly unfamiliar to a country where most variety shows are heavily edited. The show will air once a month, and feature “the heavy influence of Japanese Konto style slap-stick comedy.” My favorite!
