The roller coasters: Fujiyama, Eejanaika, Takabisha and ZOKKON
Each of Fuji-Q Highland’s headline coasters has its own height and age limits, so check the table before you join a queue. Wikivoyage calls the park one of Japan’s largest amusement parks4.
Eejanaika reaches 126 km/h6

- Eejanaika has the highest total number of revolutions in the world6.
- Takabisha’s drop angle is a certified world record7.
- ZOKKON adds sharp turns, a tunnel section and backwards running5 to its launches.
