New Fuji-Q Highland Eejanaika Video!


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! Chris Belson had sent me a video from his visit to Fuji-Q last month and I've finally had the time to edit it down and post it.

 

There's some really great "up close" shots and you'll get a good idea of what the ride is like. And oh, yeah, you'll certainly KNOW how to pronounce the word "eejanaika" by the end of the video!

 

Here's the video:

Enjoy!

If you think that listening to Eejanaika's music for 5 minutes during a video is bad, imagine listening to it during a 2 hour wait for the ride!

 

And Don is right, Dodonpa's 'music' is even WORSE!

 

 

Don, did you actually get the Eejanaika symbol tattooed on your body!?!

 

That's just kinda creepy!

 

I hope everyone likes the video, it only took me about SIX FRICKIN' HOURS to get that much footage!

The 'lean back' before the lift was pretty dumb, so your WTH is quite justified there.

 

The 'lean forward' on the brake run is actually quite fun.

 

Thanks, Dave! (Let me know how Malaysia works out for you!)

 

Here's the Dodonpa song: Imagine the taiko drum game or if you've heard a real taiko, imagine that. Next, slowly, hit the drum once on the skin. Then do it again. Then hit the side of the drum. Wait a half count then repeat. And repeat ad infinitum. The pace never varies and the BPM count is only around 50 or 60. There isn't even a safety announcement to break up the monotony. The line is usually at least an hour, even on a slow day due to the 8 passenger trains.

 

I think I may have a clip from the queue with that 'music' on it. I can't post it today, I'm going to Nagoya in an hour, I'll try to put it up tomorrow or saturday.
