FUJI Q HIGHLAND Japan
Park News - (3/2/2025) Sad news from Japan’s Fuji-Q Highland park made the headlines the other day, when a 29-year old maintenance worker was killed while performing an inspection on Eejanaika, the park’s S&S 4th Dimension roller coaster. According to the news articles, the roller coaster was actually closed for the day, but for some reason a train that a maintenance worker was working on began to move and crushed him between the train and the coaster rails. A total of 11 maintenance workers were on the site that day working on Eejanaika since 9am that morning, so it is unknown exactly what caused the train to move at the time of the incident.
2026 - Nothing is known at this time... nothing added in 2025 either.
2027 - PowerSplash - (9/19/2026) It has been confirmed that Fuji-Q Highlands will be added a Mack Rides Powersplash ride for the 2027 Season. The new ride will replace the park’s former “Cool Japan” flume ride located near the Eejanaika roller coaster. Construction is already under way based on images in the video clip below, which also indicates that it should feature the turn-table loading system to increase the efficiency of the loading system.
