Eejanaika

Fuji-Q Highland · Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, Japan · Coaster

Eejanaika is a fourth-dimension coaster at Fuji-Q Highland, and the name roughly means “ain’t it great!”. The seats sit on wings either side of the track and spin a full 360 degrees while the train gets on with its own thing.

It opened in 2006 as a bigger cousin of X2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain, with a 65-metre first drop at 89 degrees.

It counts as 14 inversions, a joint world record with The Smiler. Eleven of those are just your seat flipping over.

Ten minutes of nothing

Watch a train go round first and try to keep track of one rider. I bet you can't, which says a lot about what you're in for.

A proper pot of tea, sitting down

Find a bench with a view of the mountain and stay there until you can tell which way is up again.
