Thrillrider15 Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Wow. With Eejanaika, it should make Fuji Q a greater park (as it already is). Great photos Chris. I just noticed that some of your Eejanaika photos are on www.rcdb.com. I hope people love this coaster (as they should do for any coaster.....Most coasters anyways).
BeemerBoy Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Nice pics, Chris. When I saw this picture, oddly enough the first thing to come to mind was....."More bars in more places. That's the goal of the ALLOVER™ network from Cingular." Of course, being in Japan, that may not be familiar to you, but I'm sure someone will pick up on what I saw though. Right?

IwantRevenge Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 ^LMAO Wow! i would have never thought of that. what i really want to see now are more pictures of the trains, i've seen enough track.
Gnome Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Ride looks really fun. Although it's still going to have that ruff, a little too intense ending that X has, I'm guessing.
Gutterflower Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Heya Just came across these testing pictures on my usual trawl round japanese sites. http://bbs6.fc2.com/bbs/img/_93700/93601/full/93601_1151596266.jpg http://bbs6.fc2.com/bbs/img/_93700/93601/full/93601_1151595940.jpg Source: http://bbs6.fc2.com/php/e.php/coaster/ Looking Good. Unfortunatly im off to spain for 5 weeks so i'm going to miss opening and such. But im sure you'll get there before i get back and find any pics Chris . I look forward to it Cheers Dave
IwantRevenge Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Why are they so short? Won't that hurt capasity Big time? or is it noe of those Improvement S&S made the 4d design? Why am I asking you so many questions? do you really care? why won't I shutup? But yeah I like the blue too Ed, looks nice with the colors of the track.
Archie_1990 Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 ^^^On that first picture, it looks like the train makes a flip there. Can you confirm this? Another thing, while looking at Inuyasha lyrics and listening to te songs, I noticed that they pronunced every vowel (even ones together). So (I'm just guessing) I think that the pronunciation is actually be E-e-ja-na-i-ka (Eh-eh-jah-nah-ee-kah).
Ed Posted June 30, 2006 Author Posted June 30, 2006 The Eejanaika website has been updated with some new videos. There is no inversion of the seats through the overbank. They just sorta rotate a bit it seems. http://www.eejanaika.jp/ And click on Blog Parts to see a small video. http://www.eejanaika.jp/blog_parts/index.php Go here to see a full onride video.
Turtleggjp Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 Says it will have 3 trains? I just think they haven't put the second train on yet. I can't imagine them only having 1 train ever! It will probably run two trains and have the third for when one of the other two falls apart. I sure hope that one day X will do this. There are supposedly 3 X trains as well, but only 2 are at SFMM right now. It sucks when one breaks down, because then it drops to single train op, which totally sucks! I don't know what to think about the full-full. Watching it in the videos makes me think it might not be that great, only because of the way you always seem to be right side up. Then again, you can't tell what the forces are going to be like from a video. I didn't know what kind of crazy forces I would be feeling on Tatsu's pretzl loop, but as it turned out it was a very simple force: Plastered against the back of my seat! Anyway, I think that if I ever get to ride this, the part that I think looks the coolest is that backflip during the first raven turn.
Jon Sabo Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 Can anyone tell from that video if you can count 14 inversions? I think I only counted around 10 or 11 total. The video had a small size, but perhaps someone else that had seen it counted more inversions(?).
Archie_1990 Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 If I knew JAPANese, I could translate to see what the 7, 5, and 2 mean.
jp06 Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 7 = Seat's spin 2 = Track's loop (Turn) 5 = Track's twist 14 = The total number of spins and turns
zingo Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 I'm curently setting up a mail for the guiness book of records, cuss their totaly wrong. A inseversion is when the rider is over 145/155 degress, on EJ you only get past that 6 times. So only 6 time that your inverted! Otherwise flying coasters could be inverted even more times!

coasterguy618 Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 Wow, from the POV it looks like its going to be better than X because it looks like the seats flip a lot more. But we'll just have to find out.
Worm Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 Can soeone tell me where i could find the video? (the long one) i'm sorry but not a lot of people i know can speak japanese...
Archie_1990 Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 We could all send letters to Guiness; at least I will too. We should all complain because any coaster company would now that's only 7-11 inversions. We'll never know the real number will we?
X147 Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Says it will have 3 trains? I just think they haven't put the second train on yet. I can't imagine them only having 1 train ever! It will probably run two trains and have the third for when one of the other two falls apart. I sure hope that one day X will do this. There are supposedly 3 X trains as well, but only 2 are at SFMM right now. It sucks when one breaks down, because then it drops to single train op, which totally sucks! Its gonna totally suck right now because last week was the last week for one of the two X trains. I know it sucks, but, X wont be back to a 2 train op till about December. All 3 X trains are on the SFMM premesis though. One on the ride, one dismantled by Viper, and the third in the back of the park in Cycle Shop.
Tmcdllr Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 You have no idea how much it sucks when X only runs one train!
