On May 5, 2007 a roller coaster at the park, Fujin Raijin II, derailed due to a broken axle. One person died, and many others were injured . Now, a second Expoland park coaster is sporting a large crack, visible to the naked eye, in its axle.

How terrifying is this? One professional inspector said:

I've never heard of a crack big enough to be seen by the naked eye.

In all fairness, the other roller coasters on this list were scary in a thrill seeker type of way, while the coasters at Expoland are mentioned for reasons that should be self explanatory. Let's hope Expoland fixes their coasters. In the meantime, check out the terrifying, but safe, ride experienced on an Expoland coaster above.
