Mount Fuji without the Typhoons

The day is Wednesday, November 28, 2007 ...

Last weekend, I got another chance to go back to Mount Fuji. To recap, last time I went, there was a typhoon that rained out all the roller coasters and blocked Mount Fuji from all angles. This time was different...

 Fuji-Q Highland is one of the most popular amusement parks in the world. It has supposedly holds 2 records in the roller coaster category: 1) Highest roller coaster (Mount Fuji Ride), and 2) most number of inversions in a single ride at 14 rotations. Both of these rides we had to wait 2 hours for but let me just say they were well worth it. Here is a shot of the inversion ride. It was simply amazing. I think the Japanese must love their roller coasters.

 Perhaps the biggest reason I went back was just to see Mount Fuji. Unfortunately, the previous time, we were clueless to the whereabouts of Mount Fuji. This time, we truly could not have missed it. Check out the gallery for more pictures.

 After going on the two large roller coasters and some of the smaller rides, we headed back onto the bus back to Shinjuku. At Shinjuku, we went to a marvelous Spanish restaurant that has been in Shinjuku for 30 years. I really loved their paella

Anyways, sit back, relax, and take a look at the photos. They are very relaxing I think.
