Fujiyama is a roller coaster at Fuji-Q Highland, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, Japan.
When it was opened in 1996 it was the world's tallest roller coaster (259 feet), was the world's first "hyper-twister" roller coaster, and had the largest drop in the world (235 feet). Both records have since been broken.
