Fuji-Q Highland Vlog June 2024 - HUGE Coasters In Japan!
Join us for a visit to Fuji-Q Highland in Japan! In this vlog we experience the biggest rides at the park including the absolutely insane Eejanaika 4th Dimension Coaster. We also ride Takabisha, one of the steepest roller coasters in the World and much more. Along with that we experience a fantastic NEW family roller coaster and much more!

Was there last March and it snowed! Fun! First half of Fujiyama is great until the winding ups and downs. It felt like my spine is being crushed haha but the 1st drop is great! Takabisha is my favourite! Ride is smooth. And the beyond vertical drop is insane. Panicked for a bit there 😂 Eejanaika is soooo crazy! The 1st drop is phenomenal! Then you don't know the directions you are going. I thought I'll get dizzy after the ride but I didn't. Zokkon is so fun! Was laughing and smiling the entire ride. I love the twisties! 😂

I went to Fuji-Q a few years ago and was able to ride every coaster including Do-Dodonpa. The operations were slow then too, but the views of Mt Fuji from the top of the rides made up for it.

The views are amazing!
Completely agree with your frustrations regarding the operations. Also visited the park recently and found the exact same abysmally slow system being used on all of the main rides. Takes up so much unnecessary time and ultimately leads to poor guest satisfaction; I personally left the park feeling quite angry and am very reluctant to go back.

The operations are so slow here
Only 2 of the thrill coasters were open when we went, the rest were down for ‘maintenance’. The first had a huge 3 hour line. The whole experience felt very dangerous with lax safety procedures and I had a huge neck-ache and backache after the experience. Not only that, they make you take a huge 1.5km detour so you buy stuff from near the exit, when the entrance is just next to the train station. Won’t go back again.

Don't be too put off. It can be really hit or miss on how long the wait times are. The video paints a very bleak picture. Yes the safety procedures are asinine, but bear in mind that this was on a Saturday, which is by far the parks busiest day. I got 9 rides on Eejanaika in one day, so it's not always this bad. My advice is to just give yourself plenty of time. If you want to make sure you get plenty of rides, than book accommodation close by and allow yourself at least two days to go to the park.

2.5 hour wait sucks! Though to give perspective, we once spent 2.5 hours waiting for our first ride on Rita in the year it opened. The disappointment!! They need to replace Rita. Alton towers used to be the best park in the uk, far from it now. London has taken precedence over the north with thorpe park getting all the best rides, which suits me being from the south, but i have such fond memories of corkscrew, black hole, the beast (black hole in daylight?) Thunder looper, and of course the early says of nemesis, back when it was the only one of its type in the uk.

I think that when you get back Home you should do a vlog making a new coaster list for Charlotte showing us your method and showing us Charlottes coaster journey from her being little to presant day, with some photos. I am sure that between you and Charlottes parents you can remember which ones she has been on. I think that would make a great vlog.

Well done to Charlotte for riding Eejanaika it really is super intense, I rode it in December and had to go and have a sit down after I got off lol. I have ridden this and X2 and this is way more intense. I'm also 53, thankfully noone asks your age, I am not sure they enforce the age policy. I do suffer with my back and I did hear a few clicks as I went round lol - I stayed in the hotel next to the park and had amazing views of Fuji-San and the coasters, was amazing to lie in bed and see both the volcano and rollercoasters. Best view of any bed LOL. Glad you got great weather, I too was lucky with clear blue skies and amazing views of Fuji-San (local name for mount Fuji.) Yay I can't wait to see your Nagashima Spa Land Vlog too. I also went there on my trip.
