Before the construction of White Cyclone in 1994, there had previously been only one wooden roller coaster ever constructed in Japan.
This roller coaster, Jupiter, was opened in 1992—after height restrictions on wooden structures were relaxed by the Japanese government.
Another wooden coaster, White Canyon, opened in 1994—the same year as White Cyclone.
In 2013, the roller coasters Jupiter and White Cyclone were two of only four operating wooden roller coasters in Japan, and of only thirteen operating wooden roller coasters in Asia.

White Cyclone was constructed of enough Alaskan timber to construct nearly a thousand homes.
The ride was particularly fast for a wooden roller coaster and it incorporated many standard elements such as helixes, large drops and smaller bunny hills.
The roller coaster incorporated a double out-and-back design and used cars manufactured by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company.
White Cyclone closed on 28 January 2018.
