I was living in Japan for a while last year and I was desperate to go to Fuji-Q Highland, but I ended up not having enough money. I did however manage to ride the Thunder Dolphin at Tokyo Dome City and that was incredible. It was a super smooth ride, and really exhilarating. Loved it!
So I've recently started playing Planet Coaster; wanting to find inspiration from real life coasters. Naturally I found your channel and love it dude. Keep it up man!
I'm American and from America, but I'm in the military and was stationed at Yokota Air Base for three years. I rode Thunder Dolphin and everything at Fuji-Q. You should check them out! They're great!
I was in Japan for 3 days on business. Everyday I'd walk back to my hotel and I'd see Thunder Dolphin but had no idea how to get to it ( I was GP). I kept asking anyone at the hotel how to get there and ride it. I finally did on my last night there, it is an incomparable experience. Going through the ferris wheel and building is nuts and the first drop is intense.
13:32 *Without Disney* Steel Dragon 2000 : I'm totally the most expensive roller coaster of all time. *Disney enters* Expedition Everest : Hold my disco yeti.
I love Fuji Q Highland! The coasters are awesome, the views of Mount Fuji are stunning, and it's super cheap (~$60). I loved Dodonpa, but I actually though Eejanaika was the most intense in the park. ^.^
Whenever one of these types of videos is posted I don't watch it, I have to go to my kitchen get some chips, go the living room, connect my phone to the tv and then watch it.
The video game one looks fun. I just went to Disney World and since I’m in a wheelchair, we got to experience some pretty unique ride versions, including one where my wheelchair went straight into the ride car then turned on a turn table to face forward. But the best one was the Toy Story arcade game ride. I was taken up a side ramp and they have a separate train for handicap guests that has 2 cars on it that can be pulled off the main tracks. This meant we had all the time in the world to board, which was nice as I had to transfer from my chair for that ride. Once into the ride, my mom noticed a big difference in the actual cars of the train- instead of having to pull a cord to fire the cannon to play the games, we had simple press buttons on top. It was a nice feature and after long days with wore us both out, it was nice to have a simpler control option. (I never would have noticed since I’d never been on the ride before. My mom goes often, however, and was familiar with the normal controls.) But best of all? No one else in a wheelchair was waiting when we got back to the station, so we got to ride twice!
I love the thought put into that train. My Mom (although not a big coaster lover) did have difficulty getting to the few tamer ones she loved at our local park. Now some have elevators, but at that time, they didn't. I love to see the inclusion.
I’m living in Japan for a few years and just got on Thunder Dolphin for the first time. Excellent first drop, and the fly-through elements with the building and Ferris wheel are solid, but it does lose a bit of steam on the second lap while it’s on top of the building. I’m planning to get out to Fuji Q next month and am super jazzed. Once travel is safe again, you should make a Japan coaster pilgrimage!
Actually there were four coasters that surpassed the 6g limit. The first one (which some of you may remember as ''The Texas Tornado'' or ''Zonga'') is the former Thriller, which before it's first drop was shortened during the transfer from Six Flags AstroWorld to Discovery Kingdom, reached up to 6.5g's during the entrance of the first loop (because the loopings had a more circular shape compared to the more common teardrop shape used nowadays). The last seat row in the back was even closed due to complaints about riders hurting their neck because of the high g forces. The other one was a wooden roller coaster built in the 1910s (which actually was the first roller coaster to ever feature an inversion as far as I know) which reached up to 12g when entering the looping, which was due to the insanely small size of the circular loop.
I went on the thunder dolphin ride and it was amazing! it was actually much higher then I expected. And yes I can confirm they were very wary about possible items that could fall out. I had to take everything off from necklace to rings and glasses but I guess that's to be expected.
Every time I watch these videos, it makes me want to travel to all these different amusement parks and I can't afford that. I guess I just have to live vicariously through these videos. >.>
If you want a more thrilling ocean tunnel ride, see Osiris at PARC Asterix. The ride is an inverted coaster that dives under the lake. I believe the theming of the ride may be better than no. 7
I was able to go to both Nagashima Spaland and Fuji Q while my dad was working in Japan a few years back, both parks were very memorable.. But really the coaster I miss the most is certainly the Steel Dragon 2000.. Even though it was winter and I was freezing it was worth every time.
Thanks for using my night footage of vanish! I think your right to put steel dragon 2000 where you did. Great ride! If one was going to japan just to do theme parks I'd say Fuji q highland and Disneysea are two must sees. If you have time universal studios Japan is wacky!
There was also an Ultra Twister at Astroworld in Houston. It was the standard version. I got to ride that back in 2002, and it was so cool. Maybe the most unique coaster I've ever ridden, and it was also a very smooth ride.
Eric Thomason I didn't know that before. That's interesting. Looking it up now, Great Adventure had it for 3 years. Astroworld had it for 16 years, so I'm sure more people rode it there. I wonder if it would still be operating today if Astroworld didn't close.
I was in Joyopolis in Tokyo last year and it is definitely worth going to. They feature a number of small rides, but what makes it stand out is the virtual reality "simulators". The only problem is that during the evenings, the wait times for these are ridiculous. Joyopolis is located near Odaiba where there are lots of other things to do as well, so I definitely recommend going there.
I'm not sure if it was the first or not, but the Anaconda at Kings Dominion had the underwater tunnel with the water spray when it was new, I remember because it was my first arrow coaster and the first one with an inversion I rode. I also remember when Kings Dominion opened the Hypersonic xlc, it was an S&S air launch as well, so if I don't make it to Japan I still have a similar credit.
@@ThemeParkCrazy lol when you are 5 and you have to steal your older siblings height wristband to get on, well back then it was awesome. Fast forward to today and it's one of the ones that I prefer not to ride more than once a day, if ops don't staple you the first loop will😂
Yesss the DC hypercoaster deserved to win the poll I went on it on a school excursion to movie world and it was hecking awesome! I’ve never been on such a fun roller coaster 🤪
Yeah, i love them but i wish the waiting lines would be shorter. Last time i went i simply had to resort to overpriced fast passes because i wanted my friend to have the best experience for his first time. Bringing something like handheld consoles while waiting is recommended. We played switch a bit :)
I love how he says most expensive non Disney coaster that’s how you know that Disney goes all out on their coasters even though they might not be that good
I had the opportunity to ride the Thunder Dolphin during my visit in 2017. It was pretty intimidating. Wherever I ride roller coasters for some reason my natural instinct is to lean forward on the first drop. I could've sworn that I almost fell out of the coaster lol. Still a fun ride and I might ride it again next time I'm in Japan....even if the ride itself was ¥3000 (or around $26).
I got the Tokyo Dome all day pass (years and years ago, hopefully it's still a thing) and it was so worth it. I rode the Thunder Dolphin 5 times, which I definitely couldn't afford going ticket by ticket.
I used to walk past the thunder dolphin all the time when I lived in Japan. My friend was studying Judo and her dojo was right next to the mall there... also went to a cosplay event at the theme park there
Loved thunder dolphin, was there on some random nothing day so just walked onto it. The scenery and stuff is amazing but it was also a more intense attraction than I expected
Fuji-Q is maybe the most surreal amusement park of all time. Takabisha has so many inversions and the drop give it an other worldly view. Their rides are just so fresh and different. Dododonpa feels similar to a being shot out of a gun and ejanaika feels almost too massive and messed up to be real. Probably my favorite park that I haven’t been too.
Rode the Ultratwister at Six Flags NJ.. that ride was down more than it was up. But I managed a front seat ride..the experience was better than any other ride in the park. That roll was awesome..
Number 6 (the Ultra Twister) was an amazing roller coaster at Six Flags Astroworld (Houston, TX) and Six Flags Great Adventure (Jackson, NJ) back in the 80's - 2000's. Rode it many times at Astroworld. Loved it.
David. Right on. I'm a native Houstonian and I always had a season pass for Astroworld. People seem to forget our great park and some of it's innovative rides. Ultra Twister came here after 6 flags took over. Good and bad after that. Arrow Corporation's XLR8 was one of the 1st suspended coasters and the Texas Cyclone was a duplicate of the Coney Island classic. AWorld's Cyclone won best wood coaster on the planet. The old Alpine Sleighs was very innovative for it's time and provided a quick escape from the summer heat! The list goes on. SWAT was another first. Don't know if there are any left in the USA. The memories go on. 6 flags ruined everything with greed. Thinking they would make stockholders a bundle, they lied to sell the land. 610/Kirby? Pretty valuable. And it still sits there...Empty. Now the Houston area has no amusement park. If the place had been run properly, it would be a goldmine right now. With an empty Astrodome for Hotels, restaurants, casinos, parking, the world's biggest roller coaster, etc...There's only 3 million+ people in the area! Lol. Investors? I'll run it. Just need the $$$. Bwahahaha. Sad.

Just wanted to say, I love Meloetta and I like your name lol
Damn, that wedding on Takabisha puts a new meaning to
Love is an emotional rollercoaster
I love Fuji Q Highland! The coasters are awesome, the views of Mount Fuji are stunning, and it's super cheap (~$60). I loved Dodonpa, but I actually though Eejanaika was the most intense in the park. ^.^
I agree... Eejanaika was prolly the most intense coaster I ever been on XD
I can't believe I rode Eejenaika! The song is still vivid in my mind! I thought I was going to die!!!!
YES but i still havent rode eejanaika

Some very interesting coasters I would never have known about if out weren't for all your effort. Thank you very much :)

I'm not sure if it was the first or not, but the Anaconda at Kings Dominion had the underwater tunnel with the water spray when it was new, I remember because it was my first arrow coaster and the first one with an inversion I rode.
I also remember when Kings Dominion opened the Hypersonic xlc, it was an S&S air launch as well, so if I don't make it to Japan I still have a similar credit.
I know about Anaconda, though I personally wouldn't consider it a truly underwater tunnel since water doesn't go over the top of it.
