- When this ride opened, it was the largest in the world! To this day, it is still one of the longest roller coasters ever created. So how does the ride stack up? This is my official review of Fujiyama at Fuji-Q Highland in Japan!

Taylor: "I traveled halfway across the world to go to this park and I produce content for the masses describing what it's like to ride coasters they may never be able to-"
Attendant: "ROW SIX!"
_RO SHIEKUSU DESU_
Ride Operator: You ride row six and you like it!
I got row 6 and I still had so much fun on this ride!
'Some random chick who was a single rider'
I'm dead that was classic, Taylor
LOL AND HE KEPT A STRAIGHT FACE WHILE SHE WAS LIKE FREAKING OUT 😂😂😂
Man Taylor looked so depressed in his assigned seat id feel the same way tbh
Dude! That slow 180 turn has it's purpose: Actually, you're facing Mt.Fuji !!! I feel sorry that you have a cloudy weather that you couldn't see the beautiful and unique view of the Mt.fuji. It would be amazing when normal ppl only can see the Mt.fuji from ground floor but we roller coasters enthusiast can see the Mt.Fuji on way way higher floor level. When you just finished a high enough drive and suddenly a great and beautiful mountain view smash into your face, you then have a brief time to enjoy the view and then back to another dive. This experience I would say it's rare in the world. The similar feeling I would say is Maverick at Cedar point:Great coasters and beautiful lake view.You can find it on some other POV video which recorded on a cloudless day, it's definitely that 180 slowest turn were be built on purpose.
It's the "Goliath" (SFMM) of Japan.
And Eejanika is X2
Holy sh*t japan is coping SFMMs roller coasters!
@ANNE YAP Siow Lin Maxx Force is Do-Dodonpa
Dont do Fujiyama like that
@@MaxThrills Late 90's: Am I joke for you
I waited over 2 hours for this ride... got randomly assigned the back row... and it was AMAZING. Fantastic airtime and one of my favorite hypers!!
I got back row on it and IT WAS AMAZING! Airtime was awesome and ended up being my second favorite at Fuji-Q
It's been a while since I rode it but the thing that still stands out about this ride is that high speed turn feet from the ground towards the end was crazy, one of my first true gray out type experiences.
for me this was my second favourite ride in fuji-q highland behind eejanaika, i love the first few big drops, great views of mt fuji and surrounding area in the first high turn followed by another fun drop and a little bit of floater airtime on the hill, then just a lot more fun drops and turns with eventually that 90 degree turn low to the ground which is just awesome. Ending with twisty wacky turns which were just soo much fun, i thought it was really smooth and just overall extremely fun, which made me fall in love with this ride, just hopping back on and on back to back with single rider i just had a great time even managing to make my number 10 spot (before i rode Zadra and hyperion which kicked it to number 12) Had you gotten more rides on it you probably would've liked it more, as i had 2 days at the park and single rider so i had a bunch of rides on it.
Personally, I thought this was better than Takabisha and one of the best in the park! I really loved the weird and sudden transitions and turns and I rank this higher than a lot of the B&M Hyper coasters I have ridden. The only thing that wasn't so amazing in my opinion was just that it was lacking in airtime. That kinda sucks that you weren't so impressed by it though.
2:04 Taylor is not impressed.
You are the best youtuber and I watch you every day!
Rode Fujiyama twice yesterday. Got to be the luckiest SOB on the planet. First time the very last row, next time the very first row!
I’m just a sad little, ungrateful, CGA fanboy waiting for a hyper.
Rumors are it’s still coming, despite the delay.
Yeah, i was just joking around.
Daniel 1_5 In 2021
I’m just a sad KD fanboy that is waiting for a actual good volcano replacement
I’m just a sad person who’s home park is SFGE, what’s this hyper thing your talking about
You looked very depressed when you got Put in the middle XD
Been waiting for this review lol.
Why do these Togo’s go through a straight section after the lift hill before going down the drop?
Pre-drop. Old B&M coasters have these for the same reason: it puts less stress on the chain-lift to drop the coaster onto a pre-drop than to release the train straight down the first hill. The train starts to speed up as it drops which yanks the chain along with it. Modern rides don't worry about this because of advancements made to the lift motors that allow them to deal with the stress. Not sure exactly how they do this, but nevertheless!
2:04 Taylor’s lookin real excited!
I went to FujiQ in November last year with my brother. And for us eijanaika and Fujiyama were by far our favourites then takabisha and Dododonpa. When we went it was overcast and thought it would be rained out but thankfully it opened as usual. Eijanaika was quite bumpy but was an insane experience. When we got on Fujiyama the trees were still in that full autumn bloom and the ride up was so stunning you have no clue. And then at the crest, the clouds literally parted around the peak of mt Fuji. Seriously unforgettable. I can see how you might find Fujiyama boring but to me it was like a scenic cruise through Japans natural beauty. Overall we enjoyed Fujiq a tonne and would highly recommend it to anyone
I have a special spot in my heart for rough old rides! I would love to ride this.
2:03 Taylor looking so depressed sitting next to this girl who is insanely excited🤣
“ver-EYED”?! Anyway, good, honest review.
I agree with this review. I got a front row using the single rider line -- but I didn't love it, so I also rode it once.
When togo was on top of the coaster world damn man good times!!
The first drop is insane!
I rode this coaster last year and my experience was that it was pretty ok :) Except for the lift hill which in my opinion was really really slow.
Nice video! Anyways, is this the ride you went on when your way at Fuji-Q Highland?
Ayyy I got dat front row (which wasn‘t that great either lol)
If I had to defend it for having those sections where it does nothing I would say it most likely has those bits for people to enjoy the view, it’s a very scenic location and I’m sure part of the reasoning behind designing the elements that way was so people could look around and enjoy being up high (since there weren’t a whole lot of roller-coasters that went this high back in the day, especially in Japan).
Do you ever plan on getting to lightwater valley to ride the ultimate, with how unique and bizarre that ride is I'm surprised you didn't do it back in 2018.
Maybe I’ll visit it one day, but it’s not high on my priority list.
How would you compare this to the two Giovanola hypercoasters? From the looks it always seems like those are the American versions of Fujiyama.
I have similar opinions about those rides to my opinion on Fujiyama. Just a big fat "eh"
Love thevpaint scheme. If I was to bring any 2 togo coasters to my dream park I build in my mind it would be surf coaster leviathan because I love its layout and the ultra twister with the dive loop. I would try to have togo come out of retirement to do some trackwork so they stay all made by togo and to kind of redeem japan as a country 😆 also the reason this coaster is big n slow its because the Japanese LOVE jet coasters so they just made the world's largest jet coaster. They like views more than forces. When they came to America they didn't get that we like forces they were completely unable to design crazy looping coasters. Big apple and viper were both firsts for then.
When you see Taylor's facial expression on that train XD you already know what is up
These Japanese coaster reviews are awesome and all but I was gonna go to all the major theme parks in japan and review all of them in 2020 and I can’t compete with your vids.well if you snooze you lose right lol
As of right now it’s the third longest, after the closure of the Ultimate, but will fall back down to fourth once Falcon’s Flight opens in Saudi Arabia.
Rode it today in the front row in cloud. Had I done it the day it was perfect weather I'd appreciate it more. It's definitely janky and one ride was enough for me.
apparently it rides WAY better in the back car.
We were assigned mid-train during our visit, and I thought the first 2/3rds were great, but the last 3rd was brutal with awful transitions. It was only running gold train, so lines were really long, and I did not buy a skip the line for a 2nd ride. But those I was with did, and got put in back car and said it was fantastic.
with my ride on it tho, I'd rank the coasters in the park as such:
1) Eejanaika (rode 4 times)
2) Do-Dodonpa (rode 3 times)
3) Takabisha (rode 3 times)
4) Fujiyama (rode once)
wild mouse was permanently closed, and the suspended family was down during my visit, so didn't get to ride that. But the raft ride is fantastic, and soaking (buy a poncho if you ride)
the Air Race runs a great cycle, as does the skyscreamer, and the Frisbee (themed to Pizza!)
4:30 real talk hahaha
Its kinda funny cuz its dumb
Words to live by
honestly those weird janky turns were so oddly unique and felt so different than any other element I've felt on a roller coaster that I absolutely loved it.
Quinlan Roche same!
You didn't talk about the hand choppers during the second half of the ride...
Way late, but the impression I get from what you said is this is basically a 259 foot tall Jet Coaster. Which makes sense, because Japan made a million of those, albeit no others this size.
2:03 i ship it
I rode this like 4 times between 2001-2003. It was okay.
Taylor: Fujiyama was not my kinda ride
ElToroRyan enters the chat xD
Finally.
😀👍
Was it better than Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach? You never gave it a proper review, I just remember that you described it as being basically a monorail in your vlog so I think you didn't have the strongest opinion of it, too. Beginning at 3:40 when you start talking about the gradualness, I remembered that vlog about Blackpool.
I found Big One and Fujiyama to be very comparable. My Big One opinion is very similar to my Fujiyama opinion.
Would you consider this a Hyper Twister coaster?
I'd call it a double out and back
Isn't Formula Rossa also longer?
Max Hagenauer not quite. Less than 100 feet shorter
@@thequackenscoasterchannel2927 oh, ok
富士急だ！FUJIYAMAだー！ええじゃないかと高飛車も映ってますね
O no the dissapointment in Taylor’s face is so sad 😭😭😭🤣🤣
I was so lucky and got the very back😂
Speaking of the Ultimate at Lightwater Valley, where's that credit Taylor??? 🙄
Good review mate, even though I personally think it was a little harsh. You are right though, its not as good as others and only getting 1 ride, well I didnt lose any sleep over it. I got lucky when I went as a single rider and landed front row. Best time to ride (when I went - Late Nov on a Thursday), first up as park opened. It was a great opener to what was going to come.
2:03 Poor Taylor
you forgot to mention the insane headshopper in the second part
I did enjoy the headchoppers!
U went to Japan
Final Verdict: Eh
Someone like me: “I love this roller coaster because it’s rough!”
I felt the same way. Underwhelming when compared to the rest of the park.
Well, I didn't ride but my dad have ridden Moonsault Scramble, and well, he said, you can't marathon this coaster, when you leave you have a headache, and the Pretzel Knot was a 'surprise' element (since you're backwards)
I been on the Ultimate and its PAINFUL
and the significance to this video is ?
@@Gigidag77 It's the world's second longest roller coaster and Europe's longest roller coaster.
Honestly, there are a ton of coasters made before 2000 that are beyond better than these overrated coasters made by overrated companies or just making the same thing over and over again, or always broken coasters.
Japan's take on Incredicoaster/California Screamin. Fun ride, but nothing really stands out
*heres me sitting next to some random chick*
IMO, Magnum has the same issue: gradual and boring.
Ny ny coaster in Vegas is one of the worst coasters I have ever ridden. I'm not a togo fan whatsoever.
Asian rides are sooo weird
This is easily Taylors worst review. He could not be more wrong, oof.
