Fuji-Q Highland
amusement park
Fuji-Q Highland (富士急ハイランド, Fujikyū Hairando; formerly the Fujikyu Highland) is an amusement park in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, Japan, owned and operated by the namesake Fujikyuko Co. It opened on 2 March 1968.
The park is near the base of Mount Fuji. It has a number of roller coasters, as well as two haunted attractions: the Haunted Hospital and the Hopeless Fortress. Other attractions include Thomas Land, a children's area with a Thomas the Tank Engine theme, and several other attractions themed after GeGeGe no Kitarō, Naruto, and Attack on Titan.
Fuji-Q Highland was the location of the former Do-Dodonpa (ド･ドドンパ) roller coaster, which once held the record for fastest acceleration of any roller coaster in the world. It also previously housed attractions themed to Mobile Suit Gundam, Hamtaro, and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Roller coasters
Fuji-Q Highland has six roller coasters:
Eejanaika (ええじゃないか): 76 metres tall (249.33 ft), 126 km/h (78.3 mph). Opened on 19 July 2006 and is one of three fourth dimension roller coasters built by S&S Arrow. As a fourth dimension roller coaster, its seats can rotate 360 degrees forward or backward in a controlled spin, thus allowing Eejanaika to invert 14 different times, even though the track itself inverts only three times.
