Riding the 'Dark Souls' Roller Coaster at a Nintendo theme Park in Japan

I was in Japan at the grand opening of a new Nintendo themed amusement park and I guess I was alone cos I was riding all of the rides by myself while most other people were in groups like you'd usually see at these kinds of places. I can't remember all the ones I rode but one in particular I distinctly recall because it was a Dark Souls roller coaster and it started off with you on a rotating platform at the bottom of a tall snowy mountain and the coaster tracks went at an almost completely vertical angle going up the height of it. Once on the actual ride, it pauses for like 10 seconds before jettisoning you up the mountainside while randomly having some of the safety harnesses come loose and people fly out. Not to their deaths though because everyone gets this sort of wingsuit that extends from our clothes if we're launched out and lets us glide to safety. This is what happened to me and another guy near me who was clearly a YouTuber because he was filming and reviewing the ride most of the time. When we flew out I could see how incredibly high up we were and began to descend the incline going past giant pine trees with gnarled branches that looked like claws. This seemed to be our only danger and we had to make sure not to get caught on these. One thing for sure is that this environment was right out of a Dark Souls game that's for sure. I can't remember if I ever reached the bottom though before I woke up but it was both a fun and scary experience.
