- In our first vlog from Japan we spend a day at Fuji-Q Highland, an amusement park located in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi that opened in 1968. The park is located close to Mount Fuji and offers amazing views from its 7 roller coasters. The park is also home to some fantastic scare attractions including the outstanding Haunted Hospital, one of the longest scare mazes in the world. Fuji-Q Highland also features many family attractions such as Thomas Land, a flying theatre, various water rides and much more. In this vlog we explore the park for our first visit along with sharing our reviews from the fantastic variety of attractions at the park.

"I'm just going to call it S&S 4D coaster..."
Excellent idea for a name...have you considered a job in marketing for Happy Valley Shanghai Shawn?
Dan Boddice haha that's a joke only the craziest coaster enthusiasts will get
I JUST GOT THE JOKE AND I’M DYING
10 inversion coaster is the real deal guys
10 inversion coaster is the real deal guys
Yes, I've been waiting for this one! I'm glad you had a good time at old Fuji-Q, it's one of my personal faves that I've been to! The park can be a great experience, you just have to know how to go about things so that you don't spend 2+ hours waiting in line for each coaster! Loved the vlog, Fujiyama is terribly underrated imho! I'm gonna have to return here at some point in the next few years!
I've absolutely loved the vlogs from this trip. You guys look like you've had the best time ever! This park looks awesome!! Bloomin incredible even!🙂
This thumbnail alone makes me excited! Amazing vlog gotta say!
One of my Fav Vlogs - Enjoyed that one. When the channel has never been to a park I seem to like the content that bit more?.
Been waiting for this one! Great vlog as always Shawn-love it!
FINALLY!! WHOOP! YES ANOTHER VLOG! THANKS SHAWN!
This park looks so nice , deffo think this one looks the best of your Asia vlogs, I love watching these videos even tho I am so scared of rides , tea cups is all I can handle hahah but I still find theme parks fascinating
This park looks so nice, deffo think this one looks the best of your Asia vlogs I love watching these video even tho I am so scared of rides, tea cup is all I can handle haha but i still find theme parks fascinating 🧐 lol
this is my favourite park i've ever been to, definitely takes the #1 spot! Glad you enjoyed!
I have been waiting for this Volga ever since you said you were going!
i love this vlog so much! fuji q is definitely one of the parks i am most desperate to visit and i can't wait to hopefully get out there myself one day!
15:10 That wild mouse was probably designed on RCT3
Never been se excited for a vlog
Been waiting for this!!!! Carnt wait
Fuji-Q highland certainly looks a very interesting park with some great rides. That Thomas dark ride looked absolutely hilarious though.
Oooohhhhhh I'm loving this park, great vlog lads 👍🏽
One of your best vlogs!
Well done!
Great vlog man, keep them coming!
I have waited for this
I learned about fuji Q park via the Japanese good morning call serie on netflix, it's on my bucket list for sure!
Been excited for this one
Awesome Vlog guys! literally just saw a POV of Dodonpa after it reopened and it does look like it travels pretty slow through the loop so that would definitely explain the kicker wheel!
awesome! one of the best vlogs on your channel :)
Those coasters just look amazing!!!!!
I've never seen anything like this before! If that was me I would put my camera away as soon as I saw some people coming😚you are so comfortable when vlogging in public!
After watching this video makes me want to go there now! Maybe in the future though.
You make me smile Shawn you make me relax every time I've had a stressful day this helps me to calm down.
That seems weird but it really does, and for you to be so comfortable is so cool!
Thank you for the kind comment, we're glad you enjoy watching
Theme Park Worldwide oml I'm such a big fan xxxxxxxxxx
omg karl pilkington went on one of those coasters!!!
Wow that looping on dodonpa looks absolutely insane!
Lol I spat my drink out when you said” it’s Alex’ twin “😂😂
Great vid Shawn as always. Glad you had express and ops weren’t too bad. I was gutted when I was there in 2015 - I couldn’t get express when I arrived as it was severely limited and had all gone. I went straight to Eejanaika and queued for 4.5hrs yes 4.5 HOURS! It was an incredible experience and it’s in my top 5 coasters. Ops were appalling though giving people lockers on the station platform with trains going out min every 10 min sometimes 13 min. Shocking. I only got on one other ride - Dodonpa which was about 2 hr queue. Fujiyama was closed 😤. Amazing to get the Eejanaika credit but honestly on a week trip to Japan (6 whole days there) it felt like a wasted day. I really wish I’d got to Parque Espana to get on Pyrenees B&M invert as it’s a really unique layout and B&M are my absolute fav but my Fuji Q experience made me worry and I couldn’t convince my trip partner to “waste” another day on coasters! I did however get on Thunder Dolphin in Tokyo in the dark which was pretty cool. Will have to head back for 2 weeks and do all the parks when I’m rich and have endless time!
Thanks again!
yes I'm so excited to go there
AT LAST!!!! Thanks Shawn & Co xoxoxo
Shawn [Or i it Sean?] I am coming here in two weeks!!!! I am marathoning this until then. Thank you!
been really excited for this, brilliant video once again guys
What up andro
Heey andro, nice to see the gd community over here :3
When looking through the comments, I was least expecting you lol.
Andromeda WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? Nice to see the gd community here
The Six flags magic mountain of Japan
Then Nagashima Spa Land is the Cedar point of the country.
Nop, Fuji Q is much worse
EJ and Do-Dodonpa are on our bucket list!
Not for love or money would you get me in that scare attraction noway! I love Alex he has a old man quality about him his lovely haha.Great vlog guys 😊🖒🏽
The 4D Coaster named Eejanaika is actually the Japanese translation of "Ain't it great" and is simply pronounced "ee-ja-nay-ka" :) I've never been to this park before but it looks pretty awesome! 😍
Great vlog! Hyped for Disney Tokyo!
im back, watching old - new and im here so far LOVE your vids
Thank you!
Gerstlauer also build a great coaster in Slagharen, in the Netherlands, the GoldRush! A really smooth triple launch coaster which is really awesome! My favorite coaster in the Netherlands :)
Another great vlog, as always!
Thanks Pete!
I enjoyed your video :) Keep it up!
Wow when I watched this vlog a few months ago never did I think I would be sat writing this comment as I drove past this theme park on my way to Mt. Fugi!!!
Being a travel agent is the best.
It must be a fantastic job!
Fuji-Q really is good and Eejanaika really IS as good as they're saying (if not better!) - I was in the back row and was very pleased how comfortable it was. I've never ridden X2 so I can't compare directly. I liked Eejanaika so much I bought my photo, even though I look like a total imbecile in it.
I got to Fuji-Q in early June this year, didn't get to ride as many things as I'd hoped (got there about lunchtime on a lovely sunny Saturday, almost all the priority tickets had sold out, and had to wait probably 2 hours each for Eejanaika and Fujiyama - got a priority for Takabisha though). I absolutely have to get back to Japan and get back to Fuji-Q. No Dodonpa for me either.
The views around the park are truly stellar. View out to Mount Fuji from the lift hill of Fujiyama is permanently etched in to my brain as my favourite lift hill ever - I got really great weather.
tl;dr: Eejanaika (ee-jah-nai-ka) is truly 11-out-of-10 excellent and those fastpass tickets are genuinely a must-have.
First! ;D
I've never clicked on a video so fast! ;D
What strikes me, since I am Dutch and we use to look at those kind of things, is that you don't see one piece of paper on the ground, THAT clean!!. It is that I suffer from severe fear of flying, otherwise this would be my number 1 park on my bucket list, over ANY American park, not only because of the attractions, but also because I think that Japanese people are fantastically friendly and nice people once you learned a little yourself about their traditions and customs………..really REALLY great vlog, I absolutely enjoyed it......well done mates and a BIG thumbs up!!
Thank you for watching!
Enjoying the vlog!
I've been waiting for this vlog; it looks amazing.
Regarding the pronunciation of Eejanaika, I believe the j is silent and it's pronounced: ee-an-eye-ka
According to Taylor its Ee ja nai ka
Hi Love theme parks going to chessington during the 6 week holiday I think on the first week and I might vlog on my phone
My favourite Japan
glad you did haunted hospital
good vlog
I imagine the kicker wheel on the loop is actually a trim brake, rather than a small launch. The force at the bottom of the loop could be very strong I think and they need that trim at the top.
While you're in japan, visit an onsen (hot water spring). It's basically the exact polar opposite of a themepark, but would go down really nicely after a day thrillseeking.
I know this trip was a long time ago and maybe someone told you by now. "Ejanaika" roughly means "I don't care, right?" or "Do I still care?" It can also mean "Isn't it great", but a Japanese friend told me it's more akin to the former two. It's meant to describe the utter urge to completely lose your composure on the ride, especially facial composure. Fun little detail!
The Wikipedia page translates it as ‘ain’t it great!’
You guys have a great camera presence, thoroughly enjoyed this. Would love to play planet coaster with you some time!
You do one better. You’re going to Japan next month, as you travel the world riding rollercoasters!
Be nice to see this park get a great big B&M in the near future. Maybe a huge Invert like Banshee.
I've Might Go To Thomas Land In Japan This Year. Thanks Theme Park Worldwide Mate. X
It's great for the kids, enjoy!
I did Fuji Q last week. I’ve done all the S&S 4D now and Eejanaika is by far the best. Loved it.
Fujiyama surprised me too I loved it. Was my second favorite.
We hope you had a great time!
Shawn, on Gerstlauers keep your head forward but hold on so it doesn't bang back and you'll have a really smooth ride! Try it!
If you can say "Aikenaikeneyekennenn" then I'm sure you can have a go at these ones too! :-D That 4-D looks interesting, especially when you said it was a smoother ride than X-2. I have to admit, I'm not the hugest fan of X-2. I've yet to have a comfortable ride on it; the restraints have never fit me right, they're either far too open so I feel like I'm going to fall out, or painfully tight so I've never been able to concentrate on enjoying the ride. I'd love to give it a try!
I'm jealous! Can't wait to visit that park.
So how do the fast passes exactly work?
Great Vlog as always!! When will the next one be online roughly?
just beautiful you should do magic mountain again cuz I think I want to go there now and it is soooo bigg 😂😂👌
Good vlog! I will be seeing voletarium next week, will you guys go anytime this year?
I cannot stop saying "HE WILL HAVE IT"
mean you will have to be famous and have 10M subscribers
At drayton manor what rides dose Alex work on because am going there in the holidays
I went to Thomas Land at Fuji Q Highland when I was little.
I'm looking forward to Halloween aswell, theme park screamers returns again for the 4th year and the 3rd time going to fright nights down at Thorpe park. Feel free to join us on October 28th for our event and our first time doing an event at the home park. It's going to be awesome and I still have a few events in the planning stages for the future too.
I wanna go there soooo badddd😍
Shawn, I just watched your Fuji-Q Highland blog. You don't miss anything, do you? I'm not sure what your day job is but I believe you'd probably make one hell of a mechanical engineer. That wheel you noticed on Do-Dodonpa is not technically a "kicker' cause the train has far more energy than required to clear the loop. Actually it's there to boost the train through the inversion. It's quite exhilarating really, sort of like a mini second I launch mid loop. Eejanaika was down for me my visit and Do-Dodonpa was down for yous. You need to ride that coaster friend. Judging by your reaction to 'SUPERMAN: Escape From Krypton' MM, I believe you'd love Do-Dodonpa, be sure to be hydrated if it's a hot day, black-out is a common occurrence.
TAKABISHA
YAY!!!
Its a bummer you didnt get to ride dodonpa... That coaster seems absolutely insane... Looks like a great park in general though!
I love seeing Alex Crumb.aka the *Milk man* in the vlogs x
I love you guys
Therese also a thomasland at edaville railroad in mas so when you go check out six flags new England you should go there cause its very different too. people say its a copy of draytons but theirs a lot of kids that want to go to Thomas land but who wants to fly out to the uk to go to thomas land. (also thomas land in edaville saved the park and there coming back from a big debt so there gonna put in more expansion and make the park nicer

Did you not go to Nagashima Spaland?
And Eejanaika translates to "What the hell" because that's what the riders say when they are on it!
I can't wait to see an updated top 10! ;D
Ok so POV's of Do-Dodonpa (and yes that name is still weird) has come out and the wheels are actually there so slow the train down. something that has already been seen on countless Japanese Jet Coasters. Also did you actually visit Tokyo dome city while you were there or was it cut out of the trip?
I'm only 30 minutes into the vlog but Japan already looks a lot nicer than China. Seems like safety is great and everyone seems a lot happier and more friendly.
Excuse my off-topic remark, but you just know you're talking about a TPW vlog when a comment says "I'm only 30 minutes into the vlog", haha.
Silvarret I love these long vlogs especially for the Asian parks since I probably won't get out to these parks for a good few years. I can't wait for the Tokyo DisneySea vlogs hoping they are 2 hours each haha. Btw I'm subscribed to your channel, you are by far the best Planet Coaster TH-camr. Your theming is miles ahead of everyone else, keep up the good work 👍🏻
Told you i would watch it.
Hey Shawn, does Alex still retain his "#1 coaster" status on the 4D from this park?
iv been thinking about planning a japan trip, and everyone tells me that japan is crazy expensive! this true? was it the same for you?
There is a Hamtaro Sky Coster Ride at Fuji Q Highland is opened back in 2012.
I've Might Go To Thomas Land Theme Park In Japan One Day. Thanks Theme Park Worldwide Mate. X
epic vlog
Gymtastic Kyan said when the video was uploaded.........
Liam Connaughton oh well
great vlog
i dont now i 'am com from belgium 🇧🇪
Ethan White basically exactly what I was gonna say
Brent De Page belgium 🇧🇪😂 (ik ook)
Where in the park is the place to get express tickets? Im going to Fuji Q later this month and want to make sure be I can ride as much as possible. Great vlog btw, I loved it!
They have booths around the park where you can buy them!
I love your TH-cam!!!!!!
Thanks!
Omg yes
Man that 4D coaster looks way smoother than X2.. I can only go on X2 once a trip to Six Flags..
For 2019 you should organise an Antarctic Megatrip!
Takabsha looks like the smiler!
This park looks amazing. Will there be another Asia mega trip in the future?
Stay tuned for any future trip plans!
Cool
fun fact about this park: nearly every Kamen Rider series has had an episode (or two) filmed in this park!
i want to go to japan now
I think the top hat on dodonpa was removed because of how intense it was, I've heard that riders would experience the most amount of negative g forces on the top hat
This park looks absolutely amazing I might book tickets anybody know the price?
Shame about the long queues, would've been cool to hear your opinion on a HUSS Giant Frisbee!
