Fuji-Q Highland Park

Today we made the brilliant decision to skip office and go and play instead. Fuji-Q has lots of fun rides, but surprisingly it was none of the big roller coasters that became the winner of the day, but instead this very simple water slide. When weather is as nice as today, water splashing is the way to go. 

Fujiyama coaster was a bit too wobbly and shaky, and the first drop was not as impresive as the one on Thunder Dolphine at Tokyo dome. 

Dodonpa was crazy and it is really difficult to scream when you sitt at the front and are pushed forward at a speed of 172 km/h. 

Eejanaika, 3 track inversions (14 if counting chair inversions too), a so called 4th dimension roller coaster. I liked it. Was dizzy after. The line was too slow though... according to wikipedia it is supposed to have a capacity of 1000 persons/hour, it was far from that today. 


The other water ride, had giant golden manekineko and a cat that told us we were going to get so wet, nice things will happen to us if we get wet, I mean really wet. 


Roller coaster man!


And Fujisan. 


All fun has an end (unless you think circles are really funny), and we had to go back to Tokyo.
