Fujiyama Coaster
Yup. If the name wasn't an obvious indication, this was taken in Japan, specifically Fuji Q Highland, in Fujiyoshida, a city up in the mountains near, well, Mount Fuji.
Ok, but truth be told, this theme park SUCKED. The park has free admission and charges via ride. In today's world that might sound like a very good deal, especially since the coasters at this park hold, or have held at one point, world records in many categories.
But do not be fooled. Maintenance, prices for rides, food availability, ride lineup, line capacity, and oddly enough, history, are far from average. (I'm not lying, I was reading up the list of serious injuries and deaths this park has under their belt, it actually is disturbingly extensive.)
Ended up only going on a bike pedal ride for like 15-20 USD. Some of the rides looked fairly interesting at the very least, a rapids ride with 2 large gold cat-o-lucks, an anime themed village with some practical sets, and an intriguing haunted hospital. But the rest of the park, especially the coasters, are so trashy they make Six Flags look like Disney (which is surprising as well by Japanese standards no less).
On the way out of the parking lot, frustrated, I saw this coaster, Fujiyama, running and tried to pull in one more idea. If I wasn't going to walk away satisfied with my experience, the least I can do is walk away with a consolation shot.
And that's just what I did.
I would not recommend this park unless you're a VERY serious thrill seeker with loads of excess dough and no broken bones. Even the roller slides are safer and more amusing then this place.
