FUJI Q HIGHLANDS
Japan
 Park News - (5/12/09) Here’s a shourt-out to Fuji-Q fans or those who just like to collect rare theme park items. One of our readers has placed two Fuqi-Q themed jigsaw puzzles up for auction on Ebay, where they will donating the proceeds to benefit the Honeypot Charity group in the UK who takes disadvantaged children on activity holidays. One puzzle is of Dodonpa while the other is themed to Fujiyama.
(4/10/09) A great photo report focusing on the park’s S&S 4th Dimension coaster, Eejanaika, has been posted to CoastersAndMore.
(1/14/09) A new photo and video report from the famous Fuji-Q amusement park has been posted to Theme Park Review. From the review portion, it seems that Fuji-Q has some operational issues, especially when there is any kind of moisture in the air and they start to close down rides for good for the day. Plus capacity also seems to be a major issue at the park, leaving quite a few people frustrated. Check it out and see for yourself.
(9/19/08) Enjoy pictures taken two weeks ago at Fuji Q by one of our readers. In addition to all the big coasters, you can see many of the park’s other rides including the new Nagashimasuka spinning rapids ride which “despite a horrible color scheme and a very bad capacity, is actually a very fun and very wet ride”. Make the jump here.
2008 - Nagashimasuka - (9/4/08) Fuji-Q has opened their new Hafema river rapids ride on July 26th. According to this website the ride’s name is Nagashimasuka, which roughly translates into English as “How about a wash?” It features a normal lift hill, despite the incorrect mention of a vertical lift on that page, and includes three flume style drops and a whirl-pool effect, as well as a lengthy helix where the rafts spin like mad! I’ve embedded a couple of on-board video clips below that show off the action with a funny screaming guy, or the one below it with the two girls in bathingsuits taking a spin.
(8/1/08) According to Loisirs Attractions Magazine, Fugi-Q will open a new Hafema River Rapids ride to replace the old flume ride. The ride is listed as having three drops and a whirlpool effect.
