These coasters are not for the faint of heart! Right out of the gates we started with FUJIYAMA- boasting a world-class maximum drop of 70 m. So after you are strapped in-with just a seatbelt and lap-bar, you inch your way up 230 feet above the park and then its down you go at lightning speed. Nothing goes upside down on this coaster, but you do go side-ways and drop several times, and its bone-jarring and headache inducing...sounds fun, right?!
Coaster number 2: TAKABISHA, this one boasts the steepest drop with a 121 degree free-fall. The first part of this ride jets you off in the dark, so you have no idea what to expect. Half way through you are lying on your back as you make a completely vertical ascent to staggering heights. From there, you are righted and get to wait anxiously for about 3-7 seconds, and then its a free-fall plunge beyond vertical! Several more cork-screws and loops and you are out of breath and begging for more!
Not only are there insane coasters, but there was also a haunted hospital of bone-curdling fright! Its a maze you complete with a faulty flashlight, and just your group! I have no idea what happened to the other hundreds of people waiting in line! Once we got inside, we never saw them, although we heard their shrieks a few times. We were led down dark corridors and through disturbingly decorated hospital rooms, following red arrows. Every so often live monsters would jump out at us and chase us a few meters.
This photo below was taken at the beginning. We knowingly sat down for a photo shoot and I thought it would be fun to 'pretend to act scared.' Little did I know that just before the camera flashed, the seat dropped, a voice screamed and the lights flashed- quite the scare, and you can see our levels of reaction!
One ride, dubbed the 4-D coaster, I said "absolutely no!" The guys went on, and I kept my feet firmly planted on solid ground. Who wants a roller coaster with your feet dangling, your seat spinning back and forth as you race at lightening speed upside-down and around the track? No thanks!
Another unexpected attraction was the ULTIMATE FORT. Basically a maze with different challenges at each stage. You must of course pass each stage within the time limit to advance. Waiting in line, we thought- no sweat! But, the first challenge tripped us up and before we knew it, time was up and we were sent out the exit! I could have gotten right back in line to try and out-smart it!
Oh MY God, what a place. No thanks, except for maybe the Ultimate Fort which sounds like it could be fun but more likely it is set up to look easy but is nearly impossible to master without dozens of tries. Sort of like an arcade game of winning a goldfish by tossing a ping-pong ball into the bowl. Looks easy, NOT.
