I305forever Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 ^ Maybe. If they do, what type of coaster do you think it will be? Maybe it will get a B&M clone like Nagashima did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 ^Well I honestly have no idea. I'm not the best at making coaster predictions. They could use a B&M, though (or an intamin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I305forever Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 ^ A B&M would be nice. I don't think they will get an intamin, as they already have the main three types of coasters intamin makes, launch, hyper, and multi looper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pǝʇɹǝʌuı Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The capacity of B&M coasters is too much for Fuji-Q. Unless B&M can develop 2 car trains Seriously, though. I went to Fuji-Q over the summer. Even though Fujiyama and Dodonpa were running 2 trains their lines moved unbelievably slow. I was lucky to get onto Fujiyama on the last train before they determined it was too rainy. Terrible operations; I'm sure even with a full-on Diamondback-style B&M train Fuji-Q would manage to run it at 400 riders per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 A bit off topic but I wonder if they could be getting a new ride next year as there seems to be a trend of installing a coaster 5 years after the previous one: 1996 - Fujiyama, 2001 - Dodonpa, 2006 - Eejanaika, 2011 - Takabisha. Just a thought, though. Gerstlauer Pandemonium clone with one loading platform, one MCBR, seat belts and strict loose article policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Looks like Fuji-Q will be getting a Gerstlauer Sky Roller.

canadianparkfan Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 ^Awesome addition! A relatively unique flat... With a capacity perfect for Fuji-Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garet Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Just trying to place it's location, it's next to their new soarin' over Japan ride right? Was there anything there before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Well this one seems to have slipped through the net a little, i didn't realize they were adding it. Pretty fun flat ride though so a decent addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Fuji Q have announced Dodonpa is to close on October the 2nd for an extended period of time. The ride will be reborn next summer. Quite what this means is anyone's guess but a layout change or extension isnt beyond the realms of possibility. Or we could just be looking at an extended refurb. http://www.fujiq.jp/special/oyasumi-dodonpa/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordyC Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 A layout change would definitely be a huge upgrade. It will be interesting to see what plans they've got with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry M Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I have never been on it but this ride looks awesome. It is nice to see it getting some TLC. I think they are going to change the ending, which would be interesting to see. I imagine a steep fast helix to get some G would be nice. Let the speculation begin!!

gerstlaueringvar Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Change to polyurethane wheels, make the tower a lot higher and new magnetic brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleRiderCam Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 My guess is that they'll re-track the whole ride to S&S's modern track and give the ride the 4-across trains like they have in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry M Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 ^ I think there may be a re track, but the track will be the same style. If you changed the whole track you would need new breaks, station, train, clearances and of course the spectacular laugh will have to be re done. If you look, the two track systems are very different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

805Andrew Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 As long as they don't get rid of Dodonpa. I was nervous for a moment when I saw that announcement on their Facebook page. I wasn't sure what they meant by closing (one of those lost in translation moments). Dodonpa is one most exciting coasters I've ever ridden and is reason enough for me to return to Fuji Q the next time I'm in Japan. Freaking love Dodonpa!

Rollercoaster Rider Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 If I were to guess; A New launch system, Magnetic brakes, and maybe a repaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
