富士急ハイランド

Rollercoaster? Roller…what? When I think of the word Rollercoaster I think of old wooden buildings on county fairs in the 1800. But no, let’s take the japanese term for it. Scream Machine!絶叫マシーン!

So I went to Fuji Q yesterday with a friend and I had a blast. This was serious fun.

FUJIYAMA! Tall, awesome, kick ass!

The first we rode was FUJIYAMA. A serious Rollercoaster, not some chicken shit kiddy thing. A real scream machine! We waited for about one and a half hour.

Then we had to decide between Dodonpa or eejanaika. Because we came quite late, around 1pm, it was this or that. So I went for Dodonpa in the secret hope to catch eejanaika afterwards.

ドドンパ!

Now that was a fun ride. We had to wait for more than two hours, but with a lot of gossip talk, time flies by. Anyway, this JETcoaster blasts you out with around 175km/h, you go in a steep curve, fuck yeah gravity, and to an awesome U shape that is actually 90 degree up and 90 degree down. Holy moly, this was just awesome!

After that it was too late to ride any other big attraction, a good reason to come back, especially because I really want to ride eejanaika.

So as a last round we rode “Moonraker” which is a spinning disk that goes up to 90 degree and is just fun. No picture of that, but hell, here are two of eejanaika

ええじゃないか!

Backwards! Hanging down! Spinning 360 degrees around. What can be more awesome? Nothing.

After the last smoke break, we had home, had awesome ramen and got drunk! Awesome day. Wished I had more of them!
