Coast'n' By Mt. Fuji at Fuji-Q

Hey all!

Today, we find ourselves at the base of Mt. Fuji at an amusement park known as Fuji-Q Highland! Over the years, this park has become renowned for challenging the global stage with its record-breaking roller coasters. Although the park has evolved significantly and may not focus as much on breaking records now, it still offers some extremely intense rides among its attractions. At the start of the day, we obtained their fast pass-like wristband to access the main roller coasters. The first ride of the day was Fujiyama. In 1996, it was the tallest roller coaster, standing at 259 feet tall. It remains the largest and longest roller coaster in the park. While the ride looks impressive against the skyline, it is an extremely painful experience. It definitely wasn't my favorite ride. It does however have a neat song in the station that plays as the trains leave the station.

The next attraction of the day is Eejanaika. This roller coaster, spanning 1,153 m (3,783 ft), features 14 inversions, a zero-g roll, a fly-to-lie, 2 raven turns, and a half camelback twist. It is one of the most intense rides I have experienced. The unpredictable nature of the 4D trains flipping when you least expect it made this ride terrifying. Unfortunately, this ride had quite a shuffle, making it uncomfortable. So again, this ride was not my favorite either. Overall, despite not being a fan of it, it's still a cool experience.

After enjoying several rides, I had lunch at Nene Chicken, known for its spicy chicken, and then took a quick tour of the park's layout. I was delighted to find a Naruto-themed area, offering plenty of great photo opportunities for anime enthusiasts. Once I regained my energy, I rode the last open rollercoaster I needed to try, Takabisha. This steel rollercoaster is famous for its beyond-vertical steep drop at 121 degrees. The ride includes 7 inversions, tunnels, launches, and fantastic air time. It ended up being my favorite ride at the park. After this ride, I had to leave the park to return to Tokyo for another commitment with friends.

Overall, this park offers some distinctive rollercoasters. I'm not certain I'd need to visit again soon, especially considering that without a fast pass, even rides with a station wait take over an hour to board. If you're nearby, it's worth a visit. Now, let's delve into the photo report!
