The ride ops at Valleyfair like to do that with the launch on Steel Venom as well... "Three, two--BYE zooooommmm" if there's one thing I don't need on a roller coaster it's a mfing jump scare lmao
@@eriklakeland3857 Yeah no, the only 4D clones is China's Dinoconda is an exact clone of Eejanaika, except with different theming, but X2 is much shorter (both in height and track length) compared to the other 2. All are amazing though!
Fab list! Your description of Eejanaika was incredibly accurate. I'm so excited about riding this one day. Thank you so much for covering Asian coasters :D
Ey Ryan, I live in Japan and rode on it and was able to pick the back car. The secret is this. Be confident and point and start walking to the car that you want as long as it is open - BEFORE they assign you the row. This is because the ride ops typically don't have great English and it would be much more trouble for them to have to explain to you and argue with you about why you can't choose that row, than it would for them to just begrudgingly allow you to choose. If they do assign you the row proactively, just walk towards the row you want anyway - and you have about a 8/10 chance they'll just give up and allow you it. Make it more painful for them to deny you than to allow you, and you should be able to get your row.
Aight. You are my new favorite enthusiast! Here’s why, every single other one will complain if a ride is too “intense”, yet you embrace it! That’s how I am, people say X2 is too intense, by far my favorite ride I’ve been on. Just saying you are awesome!
I went to Japan and got lucky enough for a night ride and it’s top 10 in the world no regrets best I’ve been on. They just got a fire effect after the loop working and it has an excellent light package, soundtrack, etc. God I love it
RMC Obsesee, I love the feeling when you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel and the air has that chilly night time feel. I’d been waiting in the line for three hours and my teeth were chattering the rock ‘n’ roll chanting soundtrack was crazy and I got put in a train with a bunch of Japanese girls. Everyone was screaming in the tunnel and I was pushing my head into that squishy seat to make sure those 1.8 seconds of launch were 👌I’m a kid and it was scary as hell but it kicks ass.
i had seen some of your videos since i also am going to do a japan trip in a few months, including Hakugei yes :). But this video was surprisingly fun to watch even though there wasn't much new information to me. But definitely earned a new sub!
Still salty I got left in the States while you all got these nyyyyyycceee credits. Great video, love the countdown. B-Meh , I need a place to stay when I come visit.
Never thought hollywood dream the ride will be that high up on the list, i rode it backwards and there is only a little airtime on the first drop. The helix is forceful but no airtime on all those hills. But the coaster has a great atmosphere when i ride it and i am happy to sit at the back row of the coaster which is nice for both views and the first drop.
@@ElToroRyan I got to ride it in the rain and it was ridiculously faster then. If you can go when it is only lightly raining so it doesnt close it's so worth it
I have rode most of them I have rode 6 out of 10 of them all incredible coasters especially eejanaika that thing is crazy and I agree it is definitely number 1 in Japan
I rode Dodonpa when it had the top hat, and that launch was BEYOND intense. The top hat was fantastic, but of all the coasters I've ridden, this is one that still terrifies me more than anything else because the launch was ridiculous. The only way to describe it is for anyone working on meditation, and they can't totally clear their minds, riding Dodonpa will do that. I literally thought NOTHING for the first and only time in my life on that launch. It's the strangest thing in the world.
I'm DEAD. Wouldn't have expected anything else. Obviously Skull Mountain would have been number 1 on this list if Japan would get its head out of its ass and clone it
Virtual Dystopia is a banger! Really nice rankings! Even though I haven't ridden any of those coasters in Japan, I'll be sure to check them out someday
Eejanika looks like the best coaster ever made. I think it would be my number one if I rode not only is it a 250 foot 4D coaster but it actually hauls through its course
Thanks for this video. I just rode X2 for the first time after wanting to ride it ever since it opened. I always thought the 4D coaster in Japan was just a clone. Now I need to get to Japan, lol.
I wanna ride these!!! I just rode I305 on Monday and that’s better in the front too if you don’t mind almost graying out. Back is better for drops and turns. Also rode Twisted Timbers twice in the back row the last time at night in the rain. Slapped!!! Hella ejector. The I305 rides were right after the sun set too. I don’t think I could go on your number 1 coaster on this list. I have my limits.
I wish I had the opportunity to revisit Japan. Last time was in 2015 so I've only ridden Dodonpa, and that was intense as well. Other than that, I've ridden most of the listed coasters. I was actually expecting to see Thunder Dolphin as well, but maybe it didn't quite cut it. For me that coaster (along with Eejanaika) are the two most memorable ones.
seeing takabisha here reminded me that it cameo'd in episode 20 of kamen rider ex-aid alongside a portion of fuji-q for half of the episode. cannot wait to visit the park knowing that toei probably rented out a good chunk of it to film guys in suits beating the shit out of each other
2 days ago, I went to FujiQ. The craziest amusement park in Japan. Day of the week : Sunday Weather : Cloudy Waiting time : Takabisha 140min Do.Dodonpa 140min FUJIYAMA 90min Eejanaika 120min By the way your choice of the song is fine ! Kasoh dystopia(virtual dystopia) The best song of Momoiro Clover Z!
I'am going to Japan in like 2 years and I'am definitely going to Nagashima, but I hope to also go to Fuji - Q maybe also Universal. And if I'm real lucky then I could also hit up Pyrenees and Thunder Dolphin. Buuut it is a family trip so I wouldn't get my hopes up to much.
We have a mega-lite in Denmark just like the one in Tobu Zoo. I can confirm. This ride fucking slaps. My 2nd fav after X2. I need to ride Eejanaika and I305 at some point though.
That final raven turn on Eejanaika is just fucking nuts. So fast. That turn tho over the station, amazing unexpected weird airtime. Fuji Q was the only park they let us pick seats. I just said "Kudasai, O-shiri" please, rear lmaoo
If you went to Nasu Highland, Big Boom would be top 5. The drop is like Skyrush on crack, and it's one of those Japanese manufacturers (Meisho) so you know its gonna be hella funky. You missed out on a real one. Hopefully you go back to ride that and HAKUGE1
I think intamin mega coasters are way better in the front, at least old track style. I have heard expedition geforce is better in the front too. I like Superman the ride and mille way better in the front.
I saw this in my recommended and I subbed to you because of your name (I love toro and my name is Ryan 😂) Never been to Japan but these are some pretty cool looking coasters.
I feel like the shorter trains help Eejanaka a lot compared to X2... Which X2 I still cant decide if I love it or hate it. On one end its a top 5 for me, on the other end its beyond fucking painful on the outside seats and the roughest ride there is to me.
great list! one day i will make it to this amazing country and do all these phenomenal rides! just wondering, what are your top 10 rides in the world? or at least japan? any ride, including disney, universal, and roller coasters. i know a lot of rides from here, and journey to the center of the earth would make it on!
chris moyer you’ll love Japan! I’m not sure what my favorite 10 rides are but I definitely know my top 10 coasters! I’ll post that as a video sometime eventually lol Idk where I would rank Journey but definitely high!!
Ive never been to japan but my top 10 would be 1.eejenica 2. megalites 3.prynees 4.flying dinasor 5.do dodumpa 6.takabishia 7.fujiyama 8.steel dragon 9.hollywood dream 10.arashi
Please give credit to Astroworld. They had Ultra Twister and it was the ONLY one of it's kind in North America. Wish you could've visited. Had a very strange/unique collection of coasters, including the Alpine Sleighs, which was not really a coaster. My sister got dress up in the Abominable Snowman fur suit in the Arctic Blasting Tunnel. People started throwing sh*t at the poor guy. It scared me when I rode it at 7 years. Discontinued the A. Snowman. Great family ride that imitated Disney's Matterhorn a bit. The Texas Cyclone was an exact clone of the Coney Island original! It was the #1 wood coaster for a while. Taz's Texas Tornado was a portable steel that had 5 loops. Too hot and unstable, so it moved on in 3-5 years. Thought it would collapse. Arrow built the 1st or 2nd suspended coaster, that actually worked, called XLR8. Other originals or almost the 1st, were the hydraulic cable launched Greezed Lightning. Over in half a minute. Swat: None left anywhere I don't think. A giant fly swatter that seated guests on both ends, and really looked like it was gonna crash you into the cement ground. Many others!! Most were demolished, but a few were moved to other 6 Flags parks. It was so freakin' hot that they pumped outdoor a/c everywhere. Great place w/ great memories until the traitor, Six Flags, thought they could make a fortune by selling the I-610 frontage land adjacent to the Astrodome. WRONG! The completely vacant land still sits empty, after closing the park 25 years ago. Now, the nation's 4th largest city has no amusement park. At All! Gotta drive to San Antonio or D/FW. 4-6 hours away. Sad and mad...
