Fuji-Q Highlands Discussion Thread

I'd hazard an assumption that it generally costs Japanese parks a lot more than their western equivalents, considering 99% of the major manufacturers are very far away from them there. Manufacturing, labour and construction time must be affected with that sort of thing majorly. I hope its a huge RMC, maybe one of the new single rail RMC designs. -
Not particularly. I believe that when Flamingo Land in the U.K. picked it up they attached backpack straps to the seats, but the trains have been the same otherwise. That being said, the trains were completely torn down to their chassis(es?) when it was moved to La Feria.

I rode Eejanaika before X2. They are very different, I found Eejanaika fantastic, intense but not painful whatsoever. Rode it 4 times in a row. X2 was pretty bad though, very rough in comparison I thought. -
Treating theme parks and rollercoasters like a checklist seems like a bizarre way to enjoy a hobby. They are places and attractions literally designed and built for peoples enjoyment. If you're not enjoying something, why do it? Coaster counting and "creds" are one of the worst parts of being part of theme park commnities to me. I just like to enjoy myself and ride cool stuff myself. For example, in the last year i've been to Japan and California, I went to the major parks and theres lots of coasters and rides I missed - because they were kids rides or just boring clone coasters.
