Another
once-in-a-lifetime experience I had in 2013 was to visit the thrilling, breath
taking, and home of roller coasters in Japan, Fuji-Q Highland. From the
entrance, you can already see up close
the famous Fuji-san or Mt. Fuji, where the name of the theme park came from.

Before
going to the park, I was really excited to try all the rides and I’m up for all
the challenges. But seeing the rides up close and personal, it seemed like I
can’t make it especially if I take up the challenge alone. But if someone was
willing to ride with me, will have definitely ridden all the coasters! In the
end, I tried the King of All Coasters, Fujiyama and Dodonpa.
Not to mention the breathtaking view!

Its
famous roller coasters include the following:
Fujiyama: 79m high, top speed of 130km/hr and a
total length of 2045m. It was once the 8th tallest, 5th
longest and 10th fastest roller coaster in 2007.
Crazy. This is one of the best roller coasters I’ve ridden.
And I’m looking forward to try other coasters in the future. The lines were
very long but it was all worth it to experience this one-of-a-kind roller
coaster. The warm-up move was to climb the 71m and getting ready for the 1st
drop. While we were slowly moving up, my bones were shaking whether I could
make it or not but there was no backing out! The thought of it was really
crazy!
