Experience review of 'Do Dodonpa', which has returned with the 'world's best acceleration' that accelerates to 180 km / h in 1.56 seconds, at Fuji-Q Highland



On Saturday, July 15, 2017, Fuji-Q Highland's super-class acceleration attraction 'Dodonpa' will return as ' Dodonpa ' after a nine-month renewal period. With even more power than its predecessor, it can reach 180km/h in just 1.56 seconds and has an acceleration of 3.75G , making it a super-class machine that surpasses not only F1 machines but also drag race cars. According to the Highlanders, ``It's faster than any other vehicle in the world.'' This time, I had the chance to ride the 'Do Dodonpa' ahead of time, so I was able to experience the acceleration that humankind has never experienced before.

This is the movie I actually shot while riding. You can tell just how harsh the acceleration is by the way something that can't even be said is leaking out of your mouth.

I experienced the acceleration force of 3.75G of Fuji-Q Highland 'Do Dodonpa' which reaches 180 km / h in 1.56 seconds - YouTube


This is Do Dodonpa's coaster. There were two types of colors: blue and pink.



After tightening the harness and being sent out with applause by the staff...



We stopped once in a pitch-black tunnel. Loud BGM is flowing.



As the countdown progresses, the colors of the left and right walls change. Just when I was thinking, “It’s finally time…!”



Accelerating at a tremendous speed, accompanied by the tremendous sound of compressed air! At this time, I was holding the GoPro attached to the attachment and fixing it with duct tape, but the acceleration was so extreme that it seemed like it would fly away, and I couldn't help but say, 'N-n-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'. I heard a voice that I wasn't sure what it was.



A coaster that runs at a tremendous speed, reaching 180 km / h in just 1.56 seconds. Because the GoPro HERO5 used for shooting did a good job, it is difficult to feel the impact when looking at still images, but when you watch the movie, you can see the extraordinary feeling of the scenery flying by with tremendous force. .



LED lights are embedded in the tunnel along the way, increasing the sense of speed.



As I endured the G pressing against my body, I groaned to myself, “Wow!”...



Another tunnel, and beyond it a new loop, one of the world's largest, will appear.



The moment I passed through the tunnel, my body was pressed downward with a 'Gakun!'...



The scenery was completely upside down. Earlier, I introduced that the acceleration G during launch is 3.75G, but the G required when going up the loop is 3.76G. With both fists that were clenching the GoPro, I was attacked by a strong G that caused me to chop my thighs with a 'Gun!'



By the way, the loop looks like this when looking up from the outside. The loop's ground height of 49 meters is the world's largest, and the loop's diameter of 39.7 meters is literally the world's largest, which is said to be the key to achieving Do Dodonpa's extreme acceleration. In the previous model 'Dodonpa', a tower that ran up vertically was used, but due to the 'minus G' generated at the top, it was actually necessary to limit the firing speed. This time, by creating a loop with the body facing inward, it seems that unnecessary restrictions have been greatly reduced and it has become possible to demonstrate almost its full original performance.



At the top of the loop, there is a little extra G, so I thought, ``Ah...the world...is upside down...'', but right after that, the coaster accelerated due to the fall and generated a strong G again, and I said, ``Ngagagagagaa''. A voice that I didn't intend to make comes out of my throat.



After the loop, go through the tunnel to reach the goal. I finally found some leeway and let out a long sigh.




When you curve to the right while looking at the attraction '

Takabisha ', which has a falling angle of 121 degrees, it is also full of extremes...



When we returned to the original platform, we were greeted with applause from the staff, and the ride, which lasted about 2 minutes, came to an end.



After getting off the coaster with unimaginable acceleration and looping force, I felt exhausted, but after just a few minutes, I thought to myself, ``Hey, maybe I want to ride again.'' ``Do Dodonpa'' is a vehicle that has such magical power, and I have come to understand that it is a vehicle that has such magical power. I have to say that this is a really cool and outrageous ride, so if you are interested, please give it a try.
