Fuji Q Highland
Fuji Q highland is a massive theme park at the base of Mount Fuji. With the promise of some of the world’s best roller coasters, Donna was very keen to head there. We headed to the bus stop only to find that a traffic jam had turned the journey to the park into a 6 hour marathon. So we decided to catch the trains instead. 4 trains and 3 hours later we walked into the park. The park did indeed have some amazing rollercoaster’s BUT all of them had signs up stating a 3 to 3.5 hour wait per ride! This park should have been called “Q Highland”. After waiting in line for 3 hours in the burning sun for the biggest roller coaster we were so tired we just wanted to head home. The roller coaster was fantastic though, when we finally had our turn. It was absolutely massive. I believe the 3rd biggest in the world. Superb views of My Fuji too. Anyway, 3 more rides later (averaging another 1.5 hours waiting) we decided to head back. Another 1.5 hours of express trains and we were back in Tokyo. So all up, not quite sure if the 4.5 hours of travelling and 6 hours of queuing and $100 US each was worth the 4 rides.
