Even though it lacks the speed and stomach-churning loops that most roller coasters offer, this different, pedal-powered roller coaster is still a terrifying experience.

Situated on a hill, the elevated SkyCycle ride has been thrilling visitors to Brazilian Park Washuzan Highland in the Japanese city of Okayama.

Riders must do all of the work, as they have to propel themselves around a narrow track above the trees.

Each cycle car is wide open and doesn’t have any safety rails to protect the occupants – just a seatbelt – at a height equalling four storeys, as Daily Mail mentions.

It takes about three minutes for each pairing to pedal around the track.
