Acrobat () is a flying roller coaster built by Swiss ride manufacturers Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M), located at Nagashima Spa Land in Kuwana, Mie Prefecture, Japan. The coaster debuted on 18 July 2015.
The long track is tall and features four inversions: a pretzel loop, two inline twists, and a corkscrew. The ride is a clone of another of B&M's flying coasters, Manta, located at SeaWorld Orlando in Florida.
Ride experience Riders start by being tilted up into the flying position, before departing the station and making a slight left- or right-hand turn onto the hill, due to the dual-station design. After ascending the lift, the train goes through a slight right-hand drop into the pretzel loop. After the pretzel loop, you do a slight left-hand drop and an inline twist into a right-hand drop. After the drop, the train goes through a zero-g roll and into the midcourse brake run. After the midcourse, the train goes through a right turn and a drop towards a pond, with fountains going off as it skims the pond. After, the train goes into a final right-hand turn into an inline twist, into a left turn, and into the brakes.
