It features several roller coasters, thrill rides, and kid rides, a giant Ferris wheel, and a water park. As of 2012, Nagashima Spa Land is the 18th most visited amusement park in the world.
Nagashima Spa Land is the home of Aurora Wheel, a giant Ferris wheel. It is 90 metres (295 ft) tall and 83 metres (272 ft) in diameter.

On October 19, 2003, one of the Steel Dragon 2000 trains lost a wheel, resulting in a guest in the water park suffering a broken hip. The ride was standing but not operating (SBNO) until sturdier wheels were installed and the ride reopened in 2006.
